How about just painting it black?

----Yah know,,, Usually, I go to the end of a fairly long thread that I have already been thru, but I find myself going over and over what you have achieved and just love what I see! Can't help but parallel it to Arrowsmiths Nova. There are similarities, but both bare very very COOL!....Bill S

It might be kind of neat to get a factory T.I. bracket that mounts the box on the hood latch support in the air flow and pant the MSD box black.

I so appreciate your comments. I'm really just trying to document what I've done over the last two years. I can't even believe that I didn't give up a few times and let someone else finish the job!! But, I kept telling myself, only I really know what I want.

I've heard it said before, "it's built, not bought", and it could apply to some of what I've been able to do. For that I'm grateful for the "talents" that God has given me!!

Oh, and my son, who'll end up with the car when I'm gone, said, just do what you'd like. So, I did!!!

And your comparing my Nova to Wayne's (Arrowsmith) Nova, is such an undeserved honor. I don't think mine even comes close to "Plain Jane", but, again, it's what we both wanted.

So, now that I have a running driving car again.....what’s next? Well, since I can’t drive it uncorked (or I can if I’d like a big fat ticket!!) I needed a way to get it to the muffler shop and an alignment shop (because of the new tubular a-arms). I was hoping to get the hood installed before all of that but try as we might, my son and I couldn’t figure it out!! Here the hood gets to see the light of day after 2 years under a blanket in the garage!! And I still can't believe it's the best panel on the whole car, which is amazing because it's the original paint she was born with!!! (It took another friend a few days later, who had helped me in the past, to do his “magic” getting it installed!!)

I borrowed my son’s truck (which is amazing to say the least!!), rented a U-Haul trailer and off I went. The muffler guy recommended a shop that was a couple doors down from him to do the alignment so it was a no-brainer to have both of those done there. I had to leave the car at the muffler shop over night because the alignment guys couldn’t do it the same day. I really dislike leaving my car anywhere but had no other choice.
