oh my ...i think i died and went to heaven. That nova is super nice...bench seat auto l89...gold !!!!! VERY NICE!!!

Can you post or email me a close up of the plug in the head below the valve cover? above the number 6 plug. It almost looks like a freeze plug? i dont recall any of the heads(842?) coming like that? thought they were threaded 1/2npt? maybe only drivers side was for temp sended? or maybe just an illusion? mayeb they are aftermarket heads? but looks like a winters snowflake on there too??
Thanks
Ryan

ps did i say thats a nice nova??

HOLY SMOKES THATS NICE :shock: :bow :bow
And a chevelle in the back ground :aok

welcome aboard and thanks for posting, love the gold!
There is so many nice color combos to choose, it makes it tough for me to decide!

more pixs would be good as it helps me, as this is my first nova build

do you have exhaust system pics? do you use the transverse muffler?

Here are some pic's of the Exhaust........Turbo Mufflers.......Also......I bought the car out of Los Angeles and it only has 11,000 miles on it.....I have basically never cleaned the underside of the car......so what you see is the acumulation of 40 years of L.A. Garage dust :aok .......LOL

ted jr. removing the trunk lid!
Dave, the painter is also inspecting!
Dave is the guy who painted the chevelle for me....very talented, yet modest!
He paints with factory technique, and assembly in mind!
