Awesome build! I'll be looking for it this weekend, hope I can find it. I'm more of a Cummins man myself, but this obviously works a little easier in this application.

quick question? Why so stern on the color staying the same? I understand the rarity trust me! BUT, the entire motor and trans as well as suspension and rear wont be original or even close to being original. So of ALL things, the BRONZE paint your gonna keep?

Just my opinion. Either way bro, siiiiiick car and I am jealous to no end. I been dying for a nova since I was a teen ager. But for such a sick build, I would think you would either go with a stand out color or primer black or grey for "toughness".

Best wishes though!!!

Here are few pics from my phone, @ the Car Craft show...We had a blast cruising it this weekend. There was a crowd around it every time the hood was opened. The # of questions asked about how the paint was made to look that way reinforces the fact that there is no reason to mess with a good thing. Look for the upcoming article in Car Craft magazine!!!




In the rain, right after the photoshoot w/ C.C.

Do you have any closer pictures of those air cleaners and how they're held on and routed to the compressors? I really like that look.
