First Wash in 24 Years! INSANE Transformation + BURNOUTS!

- You won't believe the satisfying results and insane transformation that takes place with a FULL DAY of cleaning on our $500 Nova project. We got ourselves a HOT ROD with those big and little tires and wheels! This thing has all the attitude with its new tire and wheel setup, and it's a burnout machine. That 305ci V8 really runs great. I can't believe we took a 1978 Chevrolet Nova that's been sitting since 1998 and made it RUN and DRIVE so easily! Carlee and I had a blast emptying out 24 years worth of JUNK in the interior, and found some special surprises along the way. We even found the original build sheet for this thing...not sure how that survived all these years.
For the first wash in 24 years, we used a pressure washer INSIDE and OUT because the car was disgusting. The difference is pretty amazing. I think we probably should've worn Biohazard suits, but overall it was a lot of fun to see this neglected and abandoned Nova come back to life. It literally runs better every time I drive it down the road, and we celebrated the insane transformation with a couple of smoky burnouts. Yes, I still have the 5 gallon gas jug in the front floor board. The whole process of bringing this old car back to life has been very satisfying, and the first wash really sealed the deal...we've certainly gotten our $500 worth out of this thing already!

It's always a joy to see Carlee jumping right into the madness and helping you out. She is definitely being raised right.
I have the same car I drove in highschool I still have it 1976 nova
Warms my heart to see Dad and little daughter interact so greatly together.!!
18:57 The "no idea" is the OEM door buzzer that would drive everyone crazy if the door opened while the key was in the ignition.
Just what I was thinking. Somebody got sick of the buzzer and yanked it.
That is the ONLY part on any car that will never fail!
yeah- the 'seat belt reminder' 'chime'- when we began to be 'confined' within our own vehicles - by law.
Now you can't buy one with a lighter, ash tray, or decent cup holders...🤣
@@johndenton5555 and the gov can shut it off any time they want.
Love the way you involved your daughter,my daughter is 23 now. Enjoy these times it flies byyyyyy.🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 many blessings.
Great to see your kids involved.
Mine are all grown but we STILL mess with cars together.
Disappointed that you didn't crank the Skynyrd tape during the burnout though!
This thing looks killer ! The rim tire combo looks good I look forward to seeing more videos on this rig
Tough to find a good Director of Photography like you've got! I love how enthusiastic she is about working with dad. My daughter is 15 - it's truly astounding how fast time gets away.
Nova deserves little bit more love . Awesome how you and ur daughter works together . 👍👍
Your daughter is adorable. Nice that you spend time together
With how complete that car is with all the documentation and how well it runs did you ever find out why it was abandoned for so many years? I hope to see more of this project in the future it looks great.
Yeah, its come up really cool. I think you should get that rust done, then paint it silver, again. It'll look fantastic with an interior fix. I'm sure it'll get the looks, or pass it on to someone that'll rebuild it. I like it. 👍
Loved the transformation. I use to hate these when I was a kid but now I love them. I love anything 80's now. And I absolutly love your relationship with your daughter. Involving her in what your doing will mold her into a great woman. Such a great father. And shes adorable, very smart.
Great video. Super great little helper you have there. She did a great job.
Nice seeing a Nova revival.
Just started watching your channel and I gotta say, I’m enjoying what your doing immensely. Really good to see your daughter getting involved as well. I hope she stays interested. Great content. 👍👍
It's starting to look like your daughter might be falling in love with this nova.
It's so good to see your daughter not only helping you but so enthusiastic about an old car keep up the hard work on the car mate I'm here in the UK watching with interest to see now you both get on with the rolling restorations
Awesome video very satisfying watching the transformation, also the memories with your little girl which are priceless. God Bless Thank you.
That car has had a rougher life than a bedspring in an hourly hotel room!
torq trust is my favorite rim for any old school great choice. love that the little lady is willing to learn and get her hands dirty helping her dad. love the content. 👍👍👍
I had a 78 Nova in high school. Came with a straight 6 and we swapped in numerous motors. I have to say the most fun we had was with the 305 4 barrel that I got from a truck in the junk yard. The rear spring perch came through the floor on the driver side due to rust and the car got scrapped. Have fun with it!!!
Looks like a good candidate for a rustoleum roller paint job
Carlee loves spending time with her Dad.
I Love that you have your daughter with you and involved with your project '78 Nova! ❤😊
I just found your channel by accident as it came across my TH-cam and I enjoy watching these types of "will it run" projects!
So now I'm subscribed to your channel and I see many videos that I'm sure I'll enjoy watching.
This I'd the 3rd video this afternoon on your Nova project I've watching! Keep up the good work my friend
Retired police officer from LAPD living full time in the Philippines 🇵🇭 in Bacolod City!
Take care and God bless you and your family. 😊
Your little helper is a natural.
Really enjoyed the video.
A couple of floor patches and a boot seal and window fixed. Great driver.
Thanks for the memories. My first car at 17 was a 1975 Chevrolet Nova Custom (powder blue). Loved it. Had a 6cyl that was bullet proof. I drove it through high school. Then all through college. And a few years after that. Had 180k miles on it before I traded it in on a new 1985 S10 Blazer. It was a great car. Lots of good memories.
Nice to see a true American car on the road again.
Hey Guy's, I just wanted to say. Thank You for filming this video and restoration of the Nova. I personally owned 2 Chevy Nova's. The 1st. Was a 1972 Nova,then a 1976. I really loved them both. Their awesome car's, when you put some love and time in them. My 72 was Midnight Black,with clear lacquer hand rubbed into it. With Gold door guards and Gold Pinstripes. It was an beautiful beast. Thank You and urge Daughter for bringing back so many memories. Definitely looking forward to seeing more videos on this Nova.
I think you and your daughter should restore that car together. It would make an awesome first car for her. She would cherish that car forever.
So cool that you have your daughter help. She'll remember this forever. Great job.
Great videos
Great family support
I'm really impressed to see parents teaching their children great values in life
I've started seeing this in other videos as well, it brings hope for the younger generation
I have the up most respect for you all.
Keep up the good work and Gods Blessings be with you always
Awesome! My Carmine Red interior on my 79 Stepside looked the same. A trip to TJ, and the sarape blanket transformation was amazing!
Love that to you are teaching your daughter some basics and comradery! Good job
My nova was the 1976, 4 door concourse model,for our large family. It was lemon yellow on the outside,crime scene red on the inside. We got it driving up to 160 mph. Rear wheel drive,is the best! Ours had side pipes,it was sweet!!
the best part is when your lil girl smile she enjoy been by your side whit this proyect
How great for you to include Carle with you work. A very lovely young lady and thanks for saving another piece of history,
Car brings back a lot of child hood memories. My cousin had a nova like that but it was a luxury model lol black with black vinyl roof red pinstripe red interior and fully loaded in the inside. It was a nice car back then
Nice job you two, car looks great!! Should be a very nice daily once you get it tuned up.
Taking me back to years past fooling with discarded cars with my Daughter. Our Nova was a 64 four door. Towed it home, drove it for 10 years, it saw 14 states and climbed Mt. Washington. She named it Rusty Whitesteed.
Her first grade class had to do a presentation describing a process. Amanda described plastigaging bearings, torqueing fasteners and the importance of clearances and oil film. Her teacher was flabbergasted.
That's not a hanging caliper, it's a rare factory optional line lock.
A lot of the 70s early 80s cars had similar headliners. I remember the "hypnotizing headliner" in plymouth volares.
You are the co star. We all know who's starring in this here.
The old Nova cleaned up, nice to see your daughter involved with it.
Watched for the Nova (I have one too) and subbed for the young lady who knows about hypnotizing headliner. Great videos, sir, and wonderful family interaction. Please keep them coming!
Not a bad end result for $500 and just the elbow grease and time invested so far. I like it and find no fault in it as it is. Good bonding project for you and the eager to learn daughter.
Keep it,it's a classic that slot of people would love to have. Also a collectors car.
It's a great seeing a kid to jump in and help. Good job parenting.
Friend of mine had a Nova just like it when we was teenagers. Brings back some good memories 👍
White, red combo hard to beat on those classics
Awsome job will keep follow see what proyect will come out 🤜🏾🤛🏻💪🏾🙏🏾bless
Wow seeing that spare tire reminded me of when mom and dad had a Red four door NovA back in the early eighties.
Tommy Lee you're as bad ass my friends when we bring
home project car.......No Gloves!!! 🙈🙈🙈
I bothers me seeing anyone dump the trash of an old car
with out using gloves. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Overhaul drivetrain, new interior, exhaust with a couple of flowmaster 50s and a paint job! Keep going excited to see you transform it
Old Nova looks really nice.
Watching you and your daughter is awesome. Thanks for sharing
Awesome....you better keep us up to date on this build!!!
Take the seats out and clean under them. My best friend from elementary school his Dad gave him a 1976 Move 2dr blue I'm not sure if it had the 305 like yours or a 289. That was a good old car. I love watching you and your daughter work on it together. Reminds me of when my daughter was that age.
Keep up the good work Dad.
Those wheels DID make a huge difference. I don't normally love that body style Nova, but with those wheels I actually like it.
A good start on a Late Model Rat Rod!
I love this Nova my father had a 76 in this orange/red color that looked perfect on it we put swivel seats from a olds custom and it looked amazing. You should really fix it up
My town police dept in the late 70's ran police package Novas, 305's dual exhaust. With the suspension upgrade they handled like go carts. Real quick too.
Dude I am so impressed with how you brought this old "Jewel" back to life kudo's to you
My advice... get it mechanically right and safe. Put a windshield in it. Maybe try to get the ac working. It looks great with it’s scars. Keep it stock and drive it. That actually would have been a great car when new . Great video
Stance on that thing is perfect right off the bat!
You bought this from my sister. Good to see you getting it back on the road. Unfortunately, my dad's health wouldn't allow him to restore it. Good job!
I can't believe how good it runs. Pretty amazing!
Love that car, one of the best videos so far
Cleaned up nice! Like the tires and wheels!
Best part of this, is your time with your daughter...Well done...
Fantastic car hope you keep her, great to see your daughter so interested in cars. Keep the videos coming.
Loved the burnout!
To save some money on cleaning supplies, a bleach and water solution sprayed on the lichen and mold will work better than the spray foam. I use a pump up garden sprayer and mix 50-50. Spray it on, let it sit a couple minutes, the mold starts turning red. Spray again, then rinse completely.
She's a keeper for sure! Nice!
The little black box you found after the golf balls is the seat belt buzzer.
Glad you picked this gen of Nova to work on. I would have jumped on that deal myself, maybe I'll find one that complete. Never seen anyone pressure wash a complete interior before. All that oak tree and smog on outside is a slick gummy mess to remove for sure.
Build sheets were left, under the seat Springs, they usually are shot because the spring rusts right through the paper, usually can find a really nice one, between the trunk floor and the gas tank. Those are usually the ones you want, because they're in the best condition. I actually found one under the front passenger side carpet where the floor pitches up, right by the blower assembly, and I've actually also found one under the middle speaker, underneath the dashboard.
Great videos and the best time lapse music on TH-cam!!!
I really like this car! Please make more episodes on it
Cool car. My parents owned in the mid 80's, a brown '76 Nova Hatchback. Had the 6 cylinder, and well over 200,000 miles. Base model, no options. It had the full hubcaps and vynal seats. AM radio. The door frames would always break and had to constantly be welded back. It was retired and sold, without the battery in summer 1988 for $75. Getting rusty. Parents got rid of the old Nova for a new 1988 Mercury Sable. Recently found that old Nova in a junkyard that didn't ever crush anything.
That’s cool you got a good car very happy for you
You could put Torque Thrust rims on a Yugo and they'd look great. That car is coming along fantastic. My son went to kindergarten with a girl named Carly who could be her exact twin. Same great personality. Keep up the good work on this great Nova.
Car is so cool love this type of content love how it looks best channel of youtube!!!!!
Really enjoyed your video, you’ve got a great little helper there
Hey there HRH....love that Nova! I once bought a 78 model. Would love to see you restore this treasure
I like this Nova it runs pretty good !
I bet that interior smelled funky the day after you pressure washed those seats
EXCELLENT JOB SO FAR
We call that the one wheel peel , Lol My Dad had his own auto shop when i was growing up & had me out there doing the same that you are doing with your kids at about 7 or 8 years old , Look like you power washed every ware but not the trunk , Also you might wanna take out the back seat & let it dry out real good or you could have mold & mildew grow under there , It takes so long to dry in that spot with water running down under in all the cracks , Plus who knows what kind of goodies you might find under there , I think it will run real good once you change all the fluids with a full tune up , Keep up all the great work with the kids & cars.
Front subframe rot was the end of my beloved '74. Still miss that car.
I'm hoping you will do some more work to it. I am working on a 1978 Nova Rally that has been sitting for years. I hope to get the engine back in it soon. I have alot of work ahead of me. Great video!!
🇬🇧 checking in 👍
Those are HD jumper cables!! Friends Dad had a pair like that about twelve feet long, asked where he got them? Said he made them. This was in the early seventies when I was wrenching on those types of cars.
Mad you threw the camel sticker away. I quit years ago but old merch is always cool to rock!
Ah, the memories!!!
That little black box was the door and key buzzer.
And for the seat belts, very annoying little rascals.
Nice vehicle! Lots of potential. Suggestion: Check the emergency brake.
Los aros y neumáticos quedaron de lo mejor. Creo q de ahí puedes darle una reconstrucción a los asientos, para luego hacerle mejoras al motor... Felicitaciones por el proyecto. Saludos desde Lima-Perú.
I'd say make it a sleeper, a wolf in sheep's clothing. fix the body up but keep the patina. The mid to late 70's Novas are great starter cars with lots of potential with plenty motor and trans options to put in them along with big blocks for future performance upgrades!
$495 dollars worth of fun.
The Snova is already paying you back.
Great job
If you're in a region that carries it, use Greased Lightning degreaser. White and yellow bottle. Cleans everything.
Yea i watch the video with you and sleeper dude i love watching car videos im a chavy man to i lived in calhoun about15 year's ago i live in Florida now anyway just wanted to let you no that so keep up the good work and keep on keeping on
I think I would have completely removed all the seats, especially the rear (best place for mouse nests) but it cleaned up pretty good considering.👍
