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!

Hey Todd,

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.

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