That is so cool. I like the small amount of rust on the lower fender even. Don't touch anything. Really nice job.

Look Ma no wiring! Nice job. I always think of an old 6 banger in those cars when I see them. Maybe some bigger tires but hidden and your good to go!

Default muflers
Mufflers are dynomax 3in. Thanks for all the compliments this is my favorite nova I have done to date. Plans are to leave as is and add a fab 9 rear(and yes i have drag radials for it). Car is a riot to drive.
