Carpet is laid in the Nova. Just gotta do the finishing cuts and tucks before tackling the seat.

This thing is a game changer! Quickjack 7000…I love it!
If I have to spend any time in purgatory when I die, I’m fairly sure that there will be a soundtrack playing at high volume and on repeat. Track 1 will be titled
The Droning Sounds of a Lawn Crew, with an Hour Long Solo by Leaf Blower Man, Performed While You Are Under Your Project Car and Oil Is Dripping Down Your Arm.

I hate gremlins. I've been chasing this short for weeks. Hopefully this is the last one, but you never know.
The big reveal on the restored dash panel. Emma did all of the paint restoration and it turned out great!

Two steps forward, one step back. Lots of rust cut out but I keep finding more. lol!

Alright, y’all…I need some help. This is the plastic piece that sits in front of the speedometer. It’s all cloudy. I’ve cleaned it thoroughly and polished it with toothpaste, and it still looks really cloudy. What can I do to make this clear again?

Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference. Rebuilding the original switch is probably unnecessary but much more satisfying.

LOTS of body work on this old girl, but it’s coming along. Most of the work is just taking off the old bondo that a previous owner used to smooth out the lines.

Woohoo!! I’ve been struggling with this for 2 days now, but I finally got it out without breaking any of the plastic. This car is all original and the plastics are in really great shape so I’m trying to preserve them.
Now, I just have to get the headlight switch working correctly, change all the bulbs to led, clean the heck out of everything and evaluate everything under the dash.

I know that it’s not much, but one of the past owners had used body filler on this whole area. Look how beautiful that body line is! Why would anyone want to fill that in?
I went for a test run today around the hood. That little 307 has some pep now! She’ll never be a rocket but she can burn some rubber!
