Lars,

The car is beautiful, and a piece of rolling art! Very nice.

Have you considered a "Tuning for Beer Tour" to Anchorage???

I worked at a body shop for a year or so and they did the same lars. With a nice down draft booth you can't even smell the paint unless you try.

Do you have anymore pics of the front suspension??

Looks Great, nice work... don't stop drinking anytime soon!

Great project Lars, perfection is what I expected and that's what you got. To bad I didn't live closer cause I'd luv to take a look at the Nova in person.

AFTER SEEING THAT CAR YOU BUILT, I have some things to say.....We have pretty farmer girls here in Iowa. And they arent all that smart, if you know what I mean!! Beer is free in Iowa (at least in my neighborhood!!) and taxes are way low. I will even set up a shop for you!! We are in the steel building fabrication business. Lots of great corn fed beef too!!! ALL of this for being my personal go to guy for car problems...Deal or what???
