Seriously Oliver...

Nicest 1970 Chevelle (LS6 or otherwise) I have ever laid eyes on, and that's coming from a grizzled old magazine guy who has been in the biz for 4 decades. That car deserves every award it receives. And for those who haven't seen it -- if you have an opportunity to look at it -- you should. Simply amazing.

Figured some of you might be interested in this video (actually, it's a combination video and slide show). It shows how I rework (blueprint, recurve) a stock Delco point distributor to trigger an MSD ignition box. This arrangement works exceptionally well, is reliable and looks pretty much stock. Also, if you go to some of my other videos, you can see more details on how Plain Jane was constructed.

Thank you. There’s a really nice car I’d like to purchase. But additionally I have a ‘56 Mercury truck that needs my attention. The Merc is an old Farm two ton (M500), but the cab, hood, grille, rad support and a few other items interchange with pickups. I bought it because it only has 61,000 original miles with great sheet metal and original paint. Basically I bought it for the cab. The rest of the pieces to build a hot rod pickup truck are easy to get.

I have the Merc for sale but if my Nova sells, I think I might keep it.

In case there is some confusion, my Nova is for sale. Ad will appear as soon as I get the photos done.

I am (almost) without words Wayne!! I'm doing a little bit on my Nova as I type this but nothing even close to what you've done!! Thanks for taking us along for the build. With all the details and assembly procedures. Just awesome!! I totally understand why you want to keep it.....it's definitely a "keeper"!! Thanks again!!
