Clyde

This is Clyde and Dell's '62 Nova convertible. I stumbled across this car through my dad's barber. I had always wanted a 1st generation Nova and a convertible was great! The car had been sitting in a garage for 10 years and had dust 1/4 thick. The transmission was in the trunk along with a couple of bad throw-out bearings and a damaged clutch fork. The interior had been used for storage in a packed garage. Found a few snake eggs and bird nest on the inside as well. The 10 year old gas had turned to goo, so I replaced or rebuilt everything from the tank to the intake. The engine is a stock 230 from a 67 Camaro and the transmission is the original 3 speed manual. I have been working on it for about 9 months now working on looks and mechanical all at once. The body needs some work but Della's has been polishing it so it looks the best for now. I plan to add headers and 4 barrel intake later after I get a few more bugs out of it. My post (62Clyde) on the board show some of my issues along the way. Thanks to all that has provided advice along the way.
