My new 1968 Nova L79 project.

A place called Dyno Port, but another member had pointed me to a place called Swain Tech Coatings in NY. I got the email a little too late and jad sent them to Dyno Port instead. Both are in NY.

Email sent.

Yes that is correct Bill.
I wanted to have it as close to original but with a little day 2 look. So I decided go with headers,accel wires, electronic distributor and a flow master exhaust. Leaving the smog pump on the car as if someone just unhooked the tubes but never removed the air pump. I have the correct exhaust manifolds & tubes incase I ever want to go for the stock look.

I have been picking at the l79 little by little. I finally got the doors buffed out; the bright trim installed and put the doors back on the car. It is so close but so far away. My son made all stars for little league then pop warner football so my summer is shot. I am in no rush to get the car done but I really want to drive this L79. I can’t wait for that!



One detail I have seen most people over look is the inner door frames are painted interior color. It’s hard to make out in the picture but my interior is black so I painted them black the same color as the dash. I know this is a done on 68 nova’s not real sure if it is done on other years or other GM models.


The kids got me a perfect gift for father’s day. I love it!
