- Patching the rusty trunk floor in the $5000 Chevy Nova Build
Sure it needs a whole trunk floor but I'm just trying to get it much better than it was. This took another $95 out of my budget. This 1969 Nova is starting to come together. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Can’t wait till the next video
great stuff man, I'm doing the same to mine,tks for the information, I'll be checking out how to hang quarters next,,all the best
Making progress
Great video, keep up the work on the Nova. I wish I had one like it and could still work on them. That is the problem with being disabled and on a very fixed income...LOL... I just sold my last attempt to have an old classic car because the engine blew up and I wasn't able to swap in the replacement engine ('66 Buick Lesabre 4 door, only rust was in the package tray...). Well, good luck getting this great old Nova going in time. I am enjoying watching you work on my dream car. I had two of these old cars when I was just a kid back in the 80s. and they are a blast to drive. This one is going to be so fun when you get it going.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I own a '73 Nova and getting it ready to take to the streets. Cheers from the Golden State.
Thanks!
When it comes to stuff like this , my motto is usually this.
Not looking for perfection, I just want to see an improvement.
Definitely seeing an improvement here. Keep up the good work.
Big improvement buddy!
Almost seems like wire speed was too low or a little more heat was needed. I have my son mess with it as i am welding to get the right setup. Great job thanks for taking the time on these vids keep them coming..
Nice! Always progress. Looks good!
Yeah, I do similar buy just drill a hole at each corner of whatever section to leave or like along the frame or bracket.
My daddy always said a poor man has poor ways he loved novas and so do i good job .
Pretty cool shop man can wait to see your nova on the road 🤙.
Thanks dude!
"Hopefully I'll be done before midnight." Now that's a proper garage session!
Lol. Yeah. Sometimes I get started late.
Your videos have been so helpful with fixing up my 73 GMC 350 ! It belonged to my brother who passed on and has sat for ten years in storage due to hard times and funding but I finally have both to get it back on the road! It still runs great just needs odds and ends and some patching, along with np205 front slip yoke and seal in transfer case but putty and paint will make it what it Ain't! Thanks so much for your informative and digestible videos that make things understandable for the Layman!
That’s awesome! Post some pics of your project on my Shop209 Facebook page.
@@Shop209 I don't have a Facebook but my buddy does. I'll see if he can help me post some pics👍
Thanks so much
Thanks for sharing your videos,they help everyone of them good information .
Thanks for watching them.
Thanks for the great Videos, I always check your videos out before I work on my Nova. I have a 70 Nova and the dash around the glove box is very rusty, would you have one you could sell me off one of your parts cars. Thanks again.
I’ll have to check and see what condition the parts I cut out are in.
It's an AC car.
Crazy idea…. the next one that’s rusted beyond repair you could raised the floor or put a fuel cell in its place and stuff twin turbos under there and have a secret twin turbo sleeper
I have wanted to do a rear mount twin turbo. Hmm. Good idea.
I have to replace the same section on my nova.
It wasn’t too bad. If you take your time and make careful cuts it’ll turn out nicer than what I did.
Great video.
Thanks Kaleb.
That worked out well......
Watched every video you have posted, learned a ton. I have a 73 that needs a floor and tail panel swap. The previous owner converted the bumper to a 72 and patched in the license plate on the current tail panel. Wondering if you have ever done a full pan and tail swap on a 73 or 74? It seems like it can be done...
Thanks!!! Yes. It can be done. To do it correctly you need to change trunk floor, rear cross panel, tail light panel and bumper. There’s a little fabrication involved where the 73/74 quarters meet the tail panel but it’s not bad.
Great video, planning on doing mine when I get round to putting the new quarters on. I was wondering how many times have you almost flipped the chair over in your intros to your videos?
Almost? Lol.
Lol that answers my question 👍
Should always have protection glasses on I got rust in my eye once & I had to go to the doctor to get it out.
That is true. Honestly I need to wear them all the time.
@@Shop209 Yes sir!!
Nice
I hope you put Cor15 to protect the new metal pieces you patch in.
I paint and epoxy prime. POR15 is just an encapsulating paint with a very hard finish. It works good for certain areas but I don’t use it often.
Any way you can explain how to prevent rust in cars that are pretty rust free but have some surface rust .?
When you removed the gas tank did you find a build sheet? Great videos thanks much
No. I didn’t.
What kind of welder is that? I'd like to learn how to do that type of work. Auto body is all new to me..
That’s a Lincoln 180pro mig. Make sure whichever welder you are using that you use shielding gas with it. The flux core wire can leave impurities in metal and cause paint problems
What blade do you use on the cut off tool. I have 1/16" 60 grit cut off wheel and its not cutting through like yours.
I’m using a dewalt 1/16 wheel. They’re more expensive but cut really well.
@@Shop209 Thank you.
Did you seam seal it on the bottom?
On that car I didn’t. Usually I do.
Is there a VIN number on the firewall of a 74 Nova
Yes. Partial vin beside heater/ac hole.
Bought a original ss someone stripped all the tags off probably to makes a clone. Didnt know how i was going to get it registered. Thanks buddy
Is there a way to do this and keep the trunk pan? My trunk is rusted out on a 65 Fleetwood, but I have a donor car with a good trunk. How did you get yours out without damaging it? Actually I need the “whole” trunk pan. You think it’s possible to cut out without damaging it?😂😂😂
You could cut one out without damaging the part you need. It’s a lot of work and you’ll most likely have to damage all the other areas around it. You could cut around the part you need and then be careful to remove the parts you don’t.
@@Shop209 ok thank you!! I’ll try it like that!!!
New subscriber!!
why can't my neighbor have a shop full of novas
Lol
