Sam...I've been driving the car and having a blast with it. I took the tranny out and had it rebuilt. I also did a little scrubbing and cleaning during the down time. Now it screams without slipping between gears.

The car was shot and supposedly slated to be in an upcoming Musclecar book....who knows if it'll make the final cut. What I thought would be an simple process turned out to be a 5 hour shoot. I was the guys B***H but I had a blast helping him. No new pictures of it yet but if what I saw on my laptop makes it into the book, it'll really do the car justice. I was very pleased.

In all my years I have never seen this color combo and its a bucket seat auto car to boot. What a killer survivor car. That is the nicest L78 nova I have ever seen. You are one lucky guy to own it. Wish I could have it. Is it for sale?

was hoping to see if Jeff could measure the lower trans rod that goes from the selector shaft to the lockout. After extended research and talking to the most knowable nova guys in the country no one knows what the rod is. the 805 rod doesn't fit and according to all assembly manuals both camaro and nova that's what it calls for. I have seen 805 rods different lengths . Could Jeff measure the lower rod for me please and even send pict if possible. 708-990-4069

thanks
Bob
