I forsee many reviews that say that he steals the show.
This is a role that he was born to play. |

I agree, my Nova-driving friend. |

Eh...it's not driving anywhere yet. It needed some serious attention, mechanically speaking. I ended up having to get a new carb for it, and a bunch of other stuff that reared it's ugly head when we took the thing apart. Should be ready to go this weekend...maybe. Depends on if the weather holds up my parts delivery.
I may be being a little picky, but I only wanna do this once. So it needs to be done right the first time, and that takes a little extra time. You know?
How do you feel about the color "black cherry"? |

You should be very picky while fixing your car up...it's your project...don't do anything half-ass. Black cherry sounds nice...I bet your car is going to look amazing. I can't wait to see the photos of the transformation.
I never told you that my first car was a 1975 Nova, did I? It wasn't what I would have liked to have driven...I was a real girly-girl, and really embarrassed to drive a "guy" car...it was just my dad's way of having a muscle car to work on. It was really nice...tough little car..and my dad did install a really nice stereo and speaker system. |

No way! You're a Nova girl! Was it the 6 cyl sedan or was it the V8 coupe? Honestly, I was never a big Nova fan from back in the day. I was more of a Chevelle guy. But the deal on this was just to sweet to walk away from.
You understand why I had to get an "SS", right? How vain is THAT? LOL!
I hope it ends up amazing, both in mechanics and cosmetics. That's what I'm shooting for anyhow. When I first saw the car, I got a vision of what I wanted in my head. I'm just trying to follow that vision.
You'd look better in the passenger seat than my dog Bubba, that's for damn sure.

It was the V8 Coupe. My dad fixed it up really nice - new upholstery, paint job, etc... It was just a mismatch with the car and me. It was way too big and loud for my taste - but all the guys at school loved it.
You're the type of guy who drives a muscle car. I think it's going to look great, and I hope you enjoy driving the hell out of it soon. Just imagine the awesome road trips you can take with your son. I bet he is thrilled - and think of all the bonding you two guys can do over this car.
Do you ever watch "Overhaulin'"? They do amazing transformations on those cars. If I lived near you, I'd try to get them to do your car. Cause I think you're one of the coolest posters ever. |

Chip Foose is like a god figure in the muscle car world. If Xibit came walking up to my front door, I'd turn him down and send him away. Chip Foose, on the other hand, would be given free run. I would fall down and bow at his feet. He's an artist, not a pimp or a redneck. Overhaulin' is one of my fave shows. He's out on the west coast though...no chance of me ever getting Overhauled...sniff sniff. I appreciate the sentiment though.
You know, I was looking around for a new car, and I just couldn't find anything that struck a chord with me. Detroit is just turning out a bunch of bland soccer mom cars...and NASCAR dad trucks. Cookie cutter crap built to last 5 years. There's just nothing out there for someone like me. So I had to go old school.
It already has a good audio system in it. And it's perfect for me because it's a cassette deck and I can run my iPod into it with the cassette adapter. And it needs to be loud with the new exhaust system I put on it. If it wasn't loud, you'd never hear the damn music over the pipes.
We've already picked out a couple of car show/cruises to hit this summer. One of 'em is in Ocean City MD. They let you drive on the boardwalk. In the evenings they close off a couple of blocks of the main drag to let the cruisers have a bit of fun...you know, do burn outs and wheel stands and shit. My boy tried to convince me today to let him do some work on the Nova. I'll let him hold the flashlight and hand me stuff...but ain't no way he's turnin' a wrench on it. He thinks he's gonna get to drive it when he turns 16. No, no fuckin' way. I've seen him drive go-karts, no way he's drivin' the Nova.
We are also gonna go down to Maple Grove Speedway for their annual Chevy Weekend. He's gonna lose his mind when he sees me screamin' down that 1/4 mile. I don't think his mom is real crazy about that idea though. Tough titty.

I had a 72 Chevelle SS too Charlotte! They kid I got it from put a 454 big block in it. That thing was a monster.
It was absolutely terrible to drive in bad weather though. I totalled it in a sudden snow squal on my way home from hanging drywall in Syracuse NY.
Man I loved that car.
But you know what car got me more poonie than anything else I ever owned? '69 VW Bug. It was flame orange...and it drew in the chicks like moths to a flame. |

Is that the rumor? Best consult the resident Hardy Boys to investigate and report back. |

I don't know, it looks like a normal pic to me! 
Not to mention it reminds me a lot of Keith's room with the bookcase 
And look on the right - you can tell where Jack Sparrow got his taste for rum
