Took home Best Hot Rod

Nova is a 10 at 10 feet. It is a 73 with a 69 front clip. Was a 307 by the radiator panel, anyway. Now has a 327 from his father's junk pile. The carb is sloppy. The trans is a barely holding TH350. Plus it is a small open diff rear. The chrome rims, also bought / stole them from his dad for 200.

PS: the red 60 corvette is his dad's. Not to mention Grand dad is a motor head too. So, it is helpful to trade parts in the family. Dad was smart to make the kid work for the parts. I talked with his dad, the kid got fair prices from his oldman. He still needs odds and ends, but drives that Nova to school every day. I've got a similar plan for my kid's cars. My oldest is 13 and she has already eyed up a few blue cheap F body coupes. My rule: anything mopar. Her request: as long as it is blue and her sister cannot get the same car. So 1 Aspen and 1 Volare is in the future.

I hope noone thought I was giving my cars to my kids. They get to build their very own

blue you say ? hmmmm

Nope, Too nice! I would go for a car with more open canvass. As in basket case material. I'm thinking a 4 door F body. I'm thinking taking a 4 door and making it into a 2 door sedan delivery / panel wagon. The idea is my kid want's an air brush kit- so, I figure a Volare panel wagon would be a large canvass for her to put her art on her car.

Plus she needs to learn to take the car apart and put it back together. It will be a good learning process for her. An exercise in patience, experience in things going wrong, Do overs, and re-dos.
