This build is inspiring. If I ever finish my FD build a Nova II is hands down next in line. I love it!

Thanks guys! Got a little update, after blasting I hade some rust to chase around. So I spent the week getting that done. Got the rear quarters, just in front of the rear tire, modified for the larger tires. Pushed the car back outside and blasted it again, this time a little more agressively. Then today I finally got some epoxy primer on her. Even though I have a long road ahead it feels like I really got something acomplished by getting the primer on her.



A little grinding and she's all done.






$15 Harbor Freight hvlp gun for shooting the epoxy primer. Got a couple batched mixed up here and giving them some induction time.

Are you a body man by trade or is it just a hobby? Excellent work either way!

Thanks guys! I'm an electrician by trade. Far from a bodyman, but I did work as a bodyman's helper just out of highschool. I can do the work, but I'm considerably slower than a pro. Luckily I have a few friends that are very good at it that give me help and advice.

Thanks Tracy.

I did pick a color out for it. Here's a pic of another car with it. It's one of those color's you either love it or hate it.

I used medium grit crushed glass. It's one of the cleanest media's you can get.
