1970 L-78 Nova Restoration; Saga of The Green Bastard
RH Trunk Drop
So the trunk drop looks terrible before cleaning up but really only the bottom flange was really rusted. I had an NOS piece to use but I was quite certain I could save this with some creative fitting and grinding. At worst I would waste some time trying. The NOS drops were dear $$... and I do have other Novas. To save the beads, my plan was to weld in a replacement piece and grind out the backside where it overlapped the beads Replacement flanges were made, copied from the NOS originals
