we're still alive....street legal nova

they do have nice front ends i guess

the artist himself....with a vision of raw power

inner beauty

like son; like father?

the 396 changed bodies, something a little lighter "less junk in the trunk"

there she is.

69' nova

rest in peace belair. oh how we had fun with you

so after a few years of fun with the heavy chevy....dad made a decision to park this bad girl and add to the nova collection. this one is aimed to be street legal. growing up, dad always had a simple car, that sometimes wasn't always glammed up on the outside, but had lots of goods under the hood. we left young kids in their fancy sports cars in the WEEDS. as a kid that is pretty much as cool as it gets!!! family car (all members present) vs. camaro (2 people present) and the family car takes it. can't wait to see what this little gem has to offer.

seems like the pictures kind of all get looking the same, but for these racers every race is new and every bit of a rush....maybe if i was strapped to the hood it would make for some interesting photos and even a rush pour moi.?
