Nice car WarWagon! Almost bought one instead of my second 68 Nova. Those cars have great potential.

I have a few projects for this summer.
1968 Nova SS - the 383 gets a new cam, small NOS shot, Centerforce dual friction clutch
1968 Nova - 402 big block will need minor things, like ditching the damn evil Q Jet carb, little stuff though, mostly just driving and having fun in it, low 14's for a total investment of $1800 is a blast with a big block
1972 Nova - the g/f's car - new 355, rebuild a TH350 to go in it, rebuild the rearend +install a Powertrax locker (she loves to race her cute little Nova)

Those are "my" real projects, but I'll have my hands in a bunch of others. Friend of mine is restoring his 66 Monaco- at least it is a 383 big block. We still have headers to put in and the new exhaust. We put a new timing chain, Edelbrock intake, MSD 6AL, 600 Holley and new tires. Drives like a new car. My brother is freshening his 383 in his 68 Camaro SS so I will get to help with that. My dad's 65 Chevelle SS will be on the road for the first time in 22 years. I love that car, he has owned it since 1970, he's drug it from one end of the country to the other. I'm so glad my mom wouldn't let him sell it. My cousin has a 66 Mustang coupe we are throwing a 351W roller motor into. His 87 LX is in pieces already awaiting the new 347+ATI Procharger. Lots of money, but lots of fast. In reality its probably more than I will be able to get done, but i'm gonna try.

Great thread idea!
