L-78 Nova Progress
I suppose I should start my build thread anytime now... 1970 #'s matching L-78 Bench 4-Spd.
Coming home from paint today... I did all the panels and bodywork at home.

It has been sprayed w/2 coats of clear... de-nibbed, edged and scuffed... air dried.. baked... Then re-cleared and air dried for a week prior to putting the doors back on. Lots of clear for cutting and polishing !

Yes, 1970 Forest Green. A good friend loaned me his 1970 dealer sales album paint chip book (2-1/2" x 10" chips). We did about 10 spray-outs to nail it. They all thought I was crazy sticking to the original style metallics and not going with the new "brilliant" cut flake. Ha! I know what I want ! It's dead on to the sample I have. Gary
