I had seen on your original post about a resto and didn't know it was going to be raced . I should have picked up on that with the smoothed firewall spots prior to my original reply. Another area he could loose some weight would be to remove the outer cowl sides but it looks like he might be retaining the heater.

Is the build going to have fiberglass parts on it ?. I bought fenders, doors, hood, hatchlid and bumpers from Glasstek years ago for another 73 Nova project of mine and the fit was not bad at all although I started modifying the doors so I could have crank up windows and be able to remove them fairly easily.

From what I have been told, he wants a street legal car as well. I'm sure everything is going to be all steel.

I did tell Steve to! And yes lots of TLC. It finally looks like a car again. I'm gonna make sure that Steve gets onto this site. That's going to be part of the final deal.

Do not attempt to adjust your screens or think that the picture is uploaded wrong. It's just hanging out to dry! [image][/image]

Ok, so it's been almost a year? I know I will be subject to criticism, but I can take the constuctive type via PM.
