While waiting for some other parts to arrive for the Nova, I did receive a cool little care package from Rich (Mr. Chevy) earlier today. A complete set of dealership issued docs from Ed Stinn Chevrolet which will stay with the car now.

Thank you for all of this Rich.

By chance...would anyone have any pictures of a Lakewood roll bar (Mounting Kit #54050) to fit 68-72 Nova. I have feet for a 69 Camaro #54010 and I'm wondering what difference there is between the 2 as they are likely similar? Hoping I can modify the mounts but curious as to how different the originals are to each other?

Best case scenario would be to find the mounting kit if anyone has one stashed away?

As of tonight the lift is moved back into my work shop and the Nova is now on it. Time to start tearing this one down and fix a few of the issues I found with it, then drop in the new drive line into it. It's gonna be a fun one for sure.

Finally took a day off and decided to start working on the Nova with my 14 year old son Devon. First up was to remove the hood before we started to tear down the front clip. He soon got a good lesson in bumper bolts as we removed the originals after 48 years in use. The first 2 snapped off while he was learning all about leverage and protecting the hands when twisting on 48 year old bolts. I eventually pulled out a persuader and some heat to get the last of couple out. He thought they'd be simple to remove until he saw what it can take. (bahaha) There was a couple *#%&^@'s involved in his first couple bumper bolts. One straggler will need to be cut to remove the bumper since it decided to spin out. (grrr)

At least they snapped off and didn't round out the holes.

Except the very last upper left side bolt Freddie. That one allowed the nut to come 80% back off the threads before it packed it in and rounded off the front stops on the carriage bolt head. I'll cut it off tomorrow.
