Well I have made some progress, after alot of research I realized that my fondest memories of hot rods started around 10, I remember cutting out pictures and hanging them on my closet door and I had two uncles that really built some great cars when I was young. So my infuential time period starts in 1980 and with research I rediscovered the Car Craft street machine nations of that era. So I am not doing a period correct day 2 replication but instead a street machine nationals car, pre tubbed era. I am no where near done or is it perfect but some work is complete so I thought I would share some pics.

Something cool about the work done is some of the parts are true family original that were donated to the project.

The boot and Hurst shifter handle came from my uncles 71 Chevelle circa 1982, can you figure out the boot I made some custom modifications to it.

I have had my actual 1989 graduation tassel hanging in my '65 Nova (also white-on-red, BTW) ever since the summer of 1989. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Car looks great! I love what you are doing with it.

Very nice! My 70 Chevelle had a CC Nationals West decal from 1980. I wish I had kept the decal!
