Way to go Joe!

['69Novajoe]

Thanks to all for the kind words. There is a little more to the story than what you're reading in Hemmings though. You see, the photo shoot had to be done on two occasions. The reason being, a real bone-headed move on my part!! In my defense, I guess I was a little excited and distracted by this whole process. So, there we were in the middle of photo shoot "part one", when I had to get something out of the trunk. I don't know about you guys, but everytime I go to close my truck lid, I always check my pockets for the keys. Do you see where this is going?? I've never not found my keys in my pocket when I've done this and I've never locked my keys in the trunk. Well, I can't say that anymore!! Doesn't sound like too big a deal, right? Well, it turned out to be because my extra keys were in a safe-deposit box in the bank. These are the original keys from Harry Mann Chevrolet on a key ring with a little plastic tag. I never had a spare set made. Anyway, to make a long story a little longer, it was 10 minutes until 6:00. The bank closed at 6:00 and I couldn't make it there it time anyway, so I had to call AAA and have the car flat-bedded home. And now you know the rest of the story!!

It takes a brave man to spill those beans. Good one!

LOL...Or you could have pulled the back seat and opened the trunk.

He talked about this when I was out in Ca. I think that was a no go

Glad it all worked out for the best, Joe! That way he had two chaces to get the pics he needed!

It took me exactly 18 minutes to remove the back seat and re-install it. That included retrieving my coat with the keys in the pocket. It helps knowing where all the screws and bolts are.

Having just sat in the back of Joe's car,i can tell you there isn't another 69 Nova on the planet that has nicer all original interior. I mean it's almost hard to believe the carpet isn't aftermarket. It shows you how a well these keep if you take care of them.

It's a WR plant build,when I asked him if he ever found an interior sheet his response was "I never have taken the seats or carpet out to look for one"- which might allude to why he had it flatbedded home!
