    You did a great job on saving this one Dan. The next guy could just make it a great daily driver or take it to the next level of show car. Awesome job on this one too. I’m really stoked about the nova build too 👍😎✌️

    back in 1985 my girlfriend bought me a 68 camaro, i was i think 17 years old, it had 1973 plates on it, we spent the summer fixin it up best we could on our high school budget, a 68 was always my dream car, i kept it tll 2003 when i sold it, i had many engines, trans tied the frame, 4 link, tilt front end, many mods and changes over the years but nothing made me happy because i was too big for it, plain and simple. i was gonna say that when you first bought yours but i love them cars and wanted to keep my opinion to myself, but i had many memories and still love 1st gen camaros (had well over 20 of all 3 years) and had about every year camaro/firebird for 4 gens and was known as the camaro guy for almost 20 years. dont miss it one bit, i have pics to remind me of all the years of money, time and agony spent on that thing. its nice to be free.

    Dan I can appreciate you putting together what you have,it's nice to physically see what your buying.If I see a add for a car that's all tore apart I pass it by.Another thing that gets me are the guys selling cars without titles and they say should be easy to get,if it was why didn't they?

    • @gregorybarth930
      @gregorybarth930 5 місяців тому +1

    I think your going the right direction with that nova. Its an original SS small block 4spd 12 bolt and ultimately even though it may not numbers match itll be closer to oRIGinal (dan speak lol) trust me i love a big block but im definitely pumped to see how she comes out! And the vinyl top isnt controversial its gonna be MIIIIIINT!

    It doesn't matter what people say about what you're doing and selling it matters. And if you're happy with your cell, it was nice to see you. Restore something that could have really ended up in a wrecking yard or a scrapyard. Instead, you brought it back to life and made it much better for someone else to actually complete it. So don't listen to the critics. Listen to your pocketbook in your heart. I believe that you have a good heart. You do things the way you wanna do things? And you keep up the good work, that's what really matters, dan
