waz next?


Still trudging along with the body work issues and when i finish that phase I'll get the last coats of primer done .Then i will start the under side of the car.Most of it has been sand blasted and now needs all the welding ground down and i will wipe some of those areas with "kitty hair ",a fiberglass product with small hairs of glass in side .This stuff sands like bondo,but will not absorb water ,just in case it gets it gets exposed in the future.This should not happen because I'll be using POR-15 and their chassis black paint which is very tough, i like this stuff but it gets all over me I'm a bit of a pig ! Albert hates it cause hes a pig also!You must clean it off quick because if it dries on your skin you can't get it off.We're gonna put 2 coats of POR-15 and one coat of chassis black ,semi gloss .But first the front end is going to be taken apart and painted before reassembling with new parts then Mikes Nova will start looking good !Next on to the rear end , which now has a mini spool and steep gears,we want a posi -unit and more street able cogs.For the axle rebuild we turn to KENNY GAINES ,of TWO BOBS RACING ,he's da main!and a great drag racer who just needs a bit more funds to better his racing program,don"t we all!!So any one out there who would like to sponsor us in a" Dixie Door slammer"come on down.Kenny has a great start on a tube chassis 55 Chevy that will be a bad tubbed drag /street ride with most of the slant to the drag side as it will be stuffed with a big cubed Chevy by Glenn Martin at "Custom Engines ", but i digress! Back to the Nova, we got some tubular sub frame connectors from Chassis Engineering that we hope to weld in before we POR-15 the bottom side of this pig.These will help keep the body from flexing when the right foot gets heavy!
