Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Been a rough week at work so far and I haven't gotten anything done. Autumn has been running parts around after school and I finally got in the shop for a couple hours today. Made the last ground strap, the starter cable, and it actually turned over for a second so that works. Started working on the brake pressure gauge so I can get the last flex hose made this week to button up the brake system.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
How does a 20 minute job take 3 hours! My wife simply calls it... car time.
 Made a thread chase to work on the wheel stud threads, got them all straightened out. Put a new set of studs in and finally got the rear back together. Brakes are on, brake lines are on, pressure gauge is mounted and plumbed too. We started to run the fuel lines for the final time too. Autumn worked on the tank brackets and of coarse drilling and tapping the radiator for no other reason than why not change EVERYTHING since that is our current theme. Back at it tomorrow!

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
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.
