On the ground today, took it outside to turn it around, just can't get the door open enough against the wall to get the belts in and a couple wiring bits. Making fuel lines and getting mounting holes drilled for the fuel tank. Also wrapping some fuel lines so no chafing.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

are you going to dimple die the holes on the fuel cell mount?

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

No, I don't have a set of dies.

I don't know if NHRA is enforcing it,but a few years back they wanted straps to mount the fuel cell not brackets.I tried to get one with brackets (RCI,JAZ,Summit,etc.) 2 yrs.ago,no luck.Got a RCI with straps. Nice build btw,should be a contender for "Best Appearing". gsa612

These are some wonderful life memories you are making with your daughter.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

Thank you. I'm sure I missed some of the rules and we may get dinged on a few. I'm learning a lot as we go though. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

Thank you, it's been awesome.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

Todd, I want to quote this and say the same thing! I have followed your build since you started and it has been a great honor to see you and Autumn putting this car together. Your attention to detail, and the fact that you've incorporated her so much in the process makes it even more special.

Now to my questions: Is this a race car? Or a show car? (just kidding)

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

Thank you, I can't even hardly believe she has been here every minute she's hasn't been in school or sick. And I promise you... we are going to race the paint right off this thing! :D

As the father of a daughter, I can't begin to tell you how valuable, and how fleeting, this time is. Keep up the good work.
