Love the plans on this build. Can’t wait to see it come together ! I grew up working with junk just to say I had something. I own a 1973 nova I’ve been building for my daughter. Man I hope she loves it just as much as I do!
It's good to see you're out and about! The last time I saw you you were in hospital bed! You can never have too many know this! My 70s come along pretty good hopefully when I get the motor and tranny and I can bring the 68 Chevelle home! Love the Channel it's nice to watch normal for a change!
That's very cool your videos have kept me rolling on my 71 had a question though I re skined my nova and new quarters but I think I have a door sag as the bottom towards the quarters stick out and look like they need to go down also I did change out my pins a d bushings any Info would be amazing thanks for the videos. Keep rocking
I am lovin it !! Those damn Maine boys 😳😂. Excited for another project and more on the budget build too ! Bout to get my 70 out from winter hibernation. Take care John
Oh so you did get it! Haha I saw your comment on Facebook about wanting it 😅 looks like a great deal lol awesome Ouch on the 4 doors not looking as good as a 2 door haha even though you're right 😂
@@Shop209haha hey we work with what we got and I've really gotten to love my 4 door, possibly because of how much hate they get even though they take the same parts. BTW "Natural Disaster" is a GREAT NAME 👍
Any idea on what the backspacing is on the wheels? I'm figuring if they have a good bit, leave them on the car, and put wider tires on them since they match up with the paint it has now. So this is frankennova version 2 aka natural disaster. Do you have a big block you can shove in it? Everyone knows that's a good start for the torque. Gotta say I'm slightly envious of you because you always find interesting novas, but they need a bit of work. I WISH I could find even one nova at a decent price where I am. I find barely running roadkill specials, and they want an arm,leg, something private, and your first born it seems.
Love nova's built my first 69 nova from junk yards in 1976. Built my last one a 71 prostreet nova BBC, spent 3 years on that one, finished it last year. Did you get a title with it?
@@Shop209 Booooooo!!!!! Bummer about the rear. There are some production numbers on paint listed at the bottom of the “RPO Codes” page. I looked for 11L for the antique white lower body code and there’s no production number. And nothing for the G green vinyl top. Most production numbers for paint were for 4th gen years. The only production numbers I have are: 1972 Novas built = 349,733 2 door coupes = 260,215 (74% of total production) - 163,475 V8 (63% of 2 door coupes, 47% of total production) 760 Green Vinyl bench interior = 31,182 (9% of total production) C08 Vinyl Roof = 62,411 (18% of total production) [all colors included] JL2 Power Disc Brakes = 42,974 (12% of total production) L14 307 2-bbl V8 = 129,403 (37% of total production)

Hey there! Quick question I’m hoping someone on here or shop209 can help me with. I have a 1973 Nova 2 door I need a front and rear windshield I found a 1973 4 door nova are the windshields the same??? Love the channel btw!
Hey. The 4 door front windshields are taller and won’t work. They’re actually pretty hard to find. Maybe call a local glass shop. They can usually get a nova windshield in a day or two. Mine was in stock and was only $300 installed.
Going to install a new headliner in my 70. The bows weren’t marked in what holes they went in to. Can you help with the location from front to back? Apprec. It

I've got a junk LS engine you can have absolutely free! You could rebuild it and put it in one of these novas! Have you done an LS swap on a nova yet? Can't remember
I paid $500. I don’t know why you think it’s worth only $100. Disc brake subframe, complete rear seat, 10 bolt rear, good glass other than windshield. That’s at least $1000 in parts without even trying.

Can’t save em all but you sure are trying. Good luck brother
That's good stuff no matter what the condition is if someone knows how to fix it it isn't too far gone so it's all good.
This is awesome, your videos have helped me start working on my 72 Nova again. Can't wait to see where this goes!

Cool!! Thanks!
LOL The first step is admitting there is a problem!!! I'll be watching.
Another one saved from being crushed! 👍👍👍
Awesome! I can't wait to see its progress.
Im glad my wife approves of all my projects too. Lol
Nice find, and great price for it. It'll need some work but that is what makes you proud of it when it hits the streets.
Thanks. It’s a little worse than I thought. Lol but still fixable
Thanks for making these videos man, you've inspired me to get working on my 69 again
Looks like good times. Looking forward to the videos. Its already lightened for racing!
Plenty of speed holes!!!
This should be a fun "Pile" to watch you build!!!
Can’t wait to see this go together. I’m ready for the build boss. It can and will get done. Love it
My dad had a nova you got me thinking about it day and night 😂
Get you one!!
@@Shop209 for the right price I will
Nice little video. Have fun with your projects
I get it.. I have owned 10 myself 63 to 67..they are addicting..have fun with the new project...
Love the Nova, had one a long time ago. It looked like crap but would haul ass! Love the channel!
Love it. That’s the kind of project that I used to get. Looking forward to the resurrection of this into a super fast drag car.
Thanks! I have a pile of cool parts to throw at it.
Thank you for saving it👍

Hahaha. Damn that’s good. You’re hired.
And why would you bother saving a Nova?
Thanks for all the great videos! i have extra Nova parts from my 69 that i am fixing up. Love to get them to someone or you that can use them.
What area are you in?
Rock Hill, SC
No idea how to make contact. When I post anything that would make that possible it gets taken down.
Good choice for the name of the car
I need to find some Bolt-On Drip Rail moldings too and can’t find any either
Too bad you werent around when I was a 19 year old, you could have saved my 1970 triple-black SS 396 from the scrap yard. Wish I still had it

Love the new addition how much is something like that cost /worth down there
I paid $500 for it. Probably $1500-$2000 worth of parts. Usually this would sell for $1200-$2000 around here.
I think you may have an addiction sir
Definitely.
Looks like you bought a VIN number, and four Iroc wheels. LMFAO
Those aren’t the IROC wheels. They’re Z28 wheels. Car is worth fixing but has a couple thousand dollars in parts. Pretty good deal at $500

I try to buy any of them I can find. Swap meets, eBay, etc.
Do you think the four door outside drip rails are the same as the two door
Original A/C car too. And it being a ‘72 means the rear is an 8.5” 10- bolt.
Yeah but someone swapped in the 8.2 10 bolt. Forgot to mention that.
