Man, you are one heck of a brother! There are a couple of Nova forums I've stumbled onto, but nothing with the membership/organization that this one has. This one http://www.stevesnovasite.com/forums/index.php is probably the one I like the most. Jeremy

Hey Jeremy, Me and my brother lost a very close friend last year, he was also my best Tech in one of my shops. I ended up with his tools and his project Nova. I wanted see the car finished as he was going to do it and I had a garage full at home, so I gave it to my brother to work on. Body and interior is whats left to do and it will be pretty sweet. Thanks for the link, I'll pass it on to my brother right now..

btw.. heres my 66 I finished a couple years ago.
now I'm about a year into my first Vette..

Sorry to hear about your friend. I'm sure he would be glad to know his car is in good hands and will be finished. I have owned the orange 72 in my avatar for 13 years and also bought my first vette last year and have been really enjoying working on it and driving it. Jeremy

oh the 66 is a beauty, love the color, I always had an affinity for the 66/67, it has become really hard to come by a nice one

Steve's Nova site, as linked above, is the best one out there that I've found and been a part of.

Try the National Nostalgic Nova Club out of York, PA, their site might have a forum.

Never bothered to put them on. I liked the look without them.

68-74 Novas are identical to 67-69 Camaros if you're looking up at one on that's on a rack. Same subframe, suspension, brakes, steering, drivetrain, etc.

We have quite a few Nova guys that visit us first gen Camaro guys here: www.camaros.net
