Matter of fact, I just cut the back half off of one today to replace the swiss cheese trunk! It hurt so bad to cut up a great body! But one car has a title, and the other is toast. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do! Capiche?

It looks like you have a little more work to do on yours than I did on my 74.
I noticed in the last set of pictures you have not put in the hatchfloor supports. I replaced a little bit less of the hatchfloor in mine and when I was trial fitting the hatch floor I had to section one of the brackets that hold the one floor side panel plates. If you look at some of the pictures in my webshot albums you can see what I had to do.
Looks like you are on your way to getting another hatchback back out on the road. Good luck with your project.

Hey Jed-I, Better reinforce everything real good cause that 600 inch BB is going to twist that old nova like a pretzel. Jerry Ehly told me to tell ya!

Hey, Sammy, Steve didn't want to put the hatch floor back in because he wants to put in a cage. I think that should reinforce it a bit!
