Re: 1966 L-79 Nova SS
Marlin, You ever think about the big picture? For the sake of argument lets say all 100 miles were in quarter mile passes, which they wouldnt because most would be in staging and return, but even if it ran the quarter mile 400 times with a skilled driver under controlled conditions, I would think that would not be nearly as hard on the car as some idiot kid running the quarter mile ten times a night on the street, missing gears, over reving, all the while with a car full throwing beer cans at signs, and not for 100 miles but for thousands as most these cars were....No brainer. And yes, the inner fenders had to be cut to install fenderwell headers, but I would think that is a whole lot less choppin then taking a completly rusted out car and cutting everything away to weld on new panels... as many a vintage Nova has had done...and many with taiwan steel. I think I could live with welding in a new set of inner fenders, or would that make it a rebody?
