Jason,
I must say, under the conditions it looks like you restored the car under you did one h&ll of a job! It takes a lot of patience and perseverance to stay at something like this and those are under ideal conditions. Hats off to you and the job you did. Congrats on the show finishes. That and the comments are what make it all worth the effort.

I really wish we would see more Novas like this.
Very Nice!

Glad you left it the original color schemes. A little different venue.

Jason: Nice car and nice job. You should be very proud of you work. I notice that the picture of your motor on the stand has roller rockers. I see that with the motor in the car you have stock valve covers. Are the roller rockers running under the stock valve covers?

I have seen this car in person and it is fantastic. It is impressive in this day to see a young guy who really has what it takes! They only made 667 1968 L78 Novas and Jason's resto is a fitting tribute to the car. I know the future of the hobby is safe when we have guys like this who are part of it. Congratultions on a great job!

Jason, that was a great price. YearOne wanted $1,332.00 to do the four piston brakes on my '68 SS Chevelle. Year One called me and advised me of this after I sent my calipers to them. The misprint price in the catalog is supposedly per piston hole!! I had my mechanic do mine. Also, which parts store did you go through? Thanks, Tim

Tim
It was just a mom @ pop store that I buy all my auto parts from. They go that extra mile to take care of the customer. He has a local guy that rebuilds all his master cylinders and calipers I think it only cost me 29.00 to have my master cylinder rebuild the one with the correct bleeders on it. I think even your local napa or auto zone can have them sent out to get rebuilt. I tried year one to have my tach and speedometer face re-silk screened. They wanted 1200 dollars to do that. I got it done at auto instruments for 375 and they came out great.This is the link I would highly recommend them for silk screening.
