Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
Not as rare as I thought.... I guess 7,508 novas in 1968 got the RPO U28 ash tray lamp option according to the nova resources page. It had to be part of a package I would think. My car has custom interior also. Still kind of neat. They offered this option in 1969 also.....

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
I pulled a couple of those sockets out of various year GMs over the years. It provides just enough light in the ashtray.

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
I finally got my driver side fender bolted onto the car today. I have been real busy with all the small parts like the heater box assembly, steering column, dash, wiring harness etc. These things take a lot of time to detail out. I will have my AC suit case assembly Monday night from Vintage Air. Once I get my AC box installed I am going to install the passenger side fender and finish the front end assembly, the grill, headlight bezels etc. Then onto getting it running, I only have a couple things left to do. The exhaust, install the radiator and distributor then add coolant. I hope to have it running in a couple of weeks.
Pictures from today.

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
The AC suit case assembly came yesterday. I installed it last night; man this engine compartment is tight. Not enough room to do anything. LOL! I hope I never have to change that Number 6 spark plug…..

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
Yesterday I was like a kid on Christmas morning. My NOS 68-69 grill showed up. The box shows its age but the only thing that matters is what’s inside! All the trim on the front of the L79 will all be NOS. This was the last piece I needed. I didn’t think that would be possible 40+ years later.
