Don,
If you talk to Ron Badiu, can you ask if that was done over the original paint on the car? Except for the hood it would appear to have mostly original paint with some checking in a few places. I'm thinking the ghosting was done over lacquer and at some point it was clear coated? Just curious what he may remember about the car and if it was ever repainted?

Killer car and the Cragars will look right at home. Love the '70s theme myself....

Playing around with some wheels and tires today. I like the Torque Thrust rims myself and mounted these up with Firestone 5.60.15 front runners on 4" fronts, and a set of NOS Mickey Thompson H50/15's on 8.5" TT's. Thinking I'll drop the front springs and add an inch to the rear for some added clearance via Hurst Air Shocks. Then comes the vintage line loc, Lakewood roll bar and a few other goodies.
Just the start of things to come before the 383 Crossram and M22 go into this puppy.

Do you know what the original Cragar SS rim and tire sizes were?

And another picture that Gary shared with me this week. The Magnum wheels were on the car for a while back in the late 90's to early 2000's. I think these wheels make Nova's look like a quintessential factory muscle car. Classy yet meaningful. I'll probably mount a set of these when I'm finished playing with this car.

Graeme, I recognize that photo. That is at a local show here. I believe that is the rear parking lot of the Chevrolet Parma, Ohio plant where the employees park across the street from the actual plant. Every May a local car club here in the Cleveland area host a show there. Great picture!! I was probably at that show.
