1970 L-78 Nova Restoration; Saga of The Green Bastard

[L78_Nova]

Package tray and sail panels..
Well first a little distraction to polish out a small stray scratch I noticed while climbing around up there.


I took some of the pictures after I had prepped to install the rear glass. Ended up having to wait some time for a new rear glass because all my old originals were a little scratchy.





I had several pairs of originals (and repops) to choose from but nothing was good enough shape or matched the headliner close enough for my liking. So I stripped the fabric and recovered the originals with the material supplied with the headliner (Legendary)



Another example of NOTHING takes five minutes...





Left side. The little wrinkle in the upper corner of the headliner required pulling it apart at the back, removing the tack strips and modifying them to lay flatter. wrinkles are gone now.



Right Side. Same wrinkle, same rework





It would be a good idea to remove that tape along the back edge before installing the back glass... ask me how I know
