one more of the underside on trunk plug. the did not put the plugs in until after the car was painted. the orange is the paint overspray from the body and the plug and sealer are clean. neat! mark

Here is a pic of Justin Bakers 19K 71 Nova. The weatherstrip sean is offset. I found this on the web in 2001.

Excellent pics!! Thanks lowmile.
I now have some proof on the trunk latch marking, and will put it on. I'm surprised that the HO car doesn't have the spatter runs on it, what is the build date of the car? I would suspect that it is sometime in June or later. Cool stuff, very helpful.

the car was built the first of august and the splatter on the quarters did get a little "heavy" looking in places but no real runs.take a look at this firewall pic talk about not wasting black paint!Thats not engine orange overspray its body overspray not covered up with black firewall paint. mark

That's a cool pic, I took the exact same one when I was over at Wayne's. It is amazing how they skimped on the black paint, it seems very prevelant on the Huggar Orange cars - just ask Belk about his orange overspray!

Your August date sounds about right, as long as it wasn't something like March - which would have really surprised me. the trunk plug not being painted is also correct, every orig. car I've seen has the non-painted sealer and trunk plug.

Great pictures guys, keep them coming!!

Because I have lots of experience with Chevelles but limited on the Nova, I have a couple of questions. On Chevelles I have noticed that the lid was painted on the car and the hinges always show lack of full spray penetration. The lid is also bare steel under the mount. I have also seen that the upper horizontal part of the inner quarter panel, the bottom side of the package tray and the upper part of the seat divider is completely void of paint. Are these similar on the Novas?
