The best part of the video that we don’t see,Is this car good for another 50 years!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Hopefully!

[@Spennyman10]

I swear if I hadn't watched you build it I'd think it was a different car. Nice job! Looks great!!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks! Yes, was quite the transformation!

[@johnelliott7375]

I like how the dog is agreeing with you with the yes sir nods, and I hope he wasn't scratching his neck but I don't think he was. Nice looking Shepard.

[@bocat1964]

Love those old station wagons lot of memories riding in the back as a kid

[@clunkersandclassics]

Me too. My dad had a Chrysler wagon though.

[@paulventh7034]

I got to say it really does look sharp as hell

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@zaffinod]

You are a magician! This Nova looks fantastic. I am sure you will get plenty of smiles and thumbs-up when you drive this.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks! Will definitely be a head turner!

[@andymartin4747]

She’s turned into a real beauty. Enjoy the videos, keep them up

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@unchained20000000]

From everything I'm watching you do, I'm really digging your channel. It's amazing how regular run of the mill cars that you scrapped has sacrificed their lives to empower the Nova, like they themselves rebuild the Nova like a transformer. Awesome stuff man! Freegin awesome!

[@clunkersandclassics]

haha..good way to put it.

[@TexHasselhoff]

Love it!
$5k+5 months=Nice Nova

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@JoeBur]

Fantastic! Followed all the videos on this Nova build. Didn't think I would like the orange color, but it's similar to red, so it's works for me. Love the black stripes, black interior and black around the windows and lower part of the car. I would have done the same. I would have put in a V8 since my 1969 Nova was a 6 cylinder. Thank you for the enjoyment of seeing this go from a clunker to a classic. 👍😃

[@mzaccagnini7179]

Love that color combo. Those are my high school colors

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@angelo57a51]

Came out very nice. Good job!

[@tommycook9620]

Just wanted to say thank you u have really inspired me to get all the body work done on my 68 nova thanks man

[@clunkersandclassics]

good deal!

[@johnroe8832]

The car looks fantastic 👌

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@TheyLoveTanner]

Glad I got to watch the process of this fine automobile. Congrats on the Nova!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheyLoveTanner]

@@clunkersandclassics Always🙏🏼 can’t wait to see more builds

[@michaeljankowski8036]

The Nova looks Fantastic, go out and enjoy it.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@CW-user]

Each project seems even better than the last. Love the content !

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@unchained20000000]

Like I said in a past video, your bodywork has such sharp crisp lines that it really make the Nova look sharp when finished. Nice work there fella.

[@unchained20000000]

Oh and BTW she held her shine, so the paint you used is of good quality.

[@clunkersandclassics]

@@unchained20000000 Thanks!

[@jimmymiddleton4895]

Very nice I had a 69 same color back in the day I loved that car

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@randyhoepker5528]

It looks real sharp with the Hugger Orange and black! It turned out nice.
I still think you should have transplanted the 350 in it, but the running Six banger was the down and dirty option to get the car back on the road with the least fuss and expense. Good job!

[@clunkersandclassics]

True. Thanks!

[@jamesruffner4880]

Lee you done a nice job just live it watch you from the start you are a hard working man

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@stharris48]

Damn fine looking Nova. The color combination just screams perfect. Great job Lee.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@llewis7324]

Absolutely eye popping! That color combo looks great with that body style. My neighbor has a 69' Chevelle wagon with a hot 396 in it, a real sleeper.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@wanderingweederspapa7878]

Air flow and overall cleanliness reduces trash . Bugs come from miles away once the smell the paint in the air.. I built a simple paint booth in my shop 25 years ago and helped more than anything

[@kesterhively8773]

Awesome job on that one as usual anybody would be proud to cruise in that little nova 😀

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@shihantemplet]

Great job! We enjoyed it. I’d be interested in some merch.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Cool! Thanks!

[@tracyw8739]

Nice work!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@metalmouse7714]

Love your channel because it reminds me of me. I use to do everything on my cars until a year ago I got into an accident and became paralyzed. Now I watch you to remind me of the good times and watch some still enjoy working on cars like I did. Thank you so much for just doing what you do. By the way I’m interested in one of those stickers if you get a small version of the first one you showed us.

[@clunkersandclassics]

ok, cool!

[@dirtyjersey8562]

Turned out great!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@johnelliott7375]

Sad that people who watch the videos are not able to get a push the like button and leave a productive comment. Great evening to you.

[@jamespn]

Nice result, great color, you’re one of the few persons who actually finish a project completely before moving on. The nomad wagon is a cool project, looking forward to the rebuild.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@richardenright3170]

Sweet!! Your vision turns into reality.😊

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@kennethsonier1766]

You did a fantastic job on a budget. And yes 68 did have a Chevy Nomad. Keep up the great work in this New Year 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks 👍

[@toddselph5992]

Nova turned out nice,looks great in orange. Looking forward to your next build!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@baldhead7705]

Man yeah one of my favorites classics the Nova love it

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@jerrydillon7820]

I like the way the car came out I watch every episode and looks real good can't wait till you do that station wagon

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@youngestson6537]

Looks good. The black stripes really sets it out.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@Richard4616]

It looks pretty good and cool. Another car saved from being scraped.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@lanctcossin8601]

Awesome man. This series reminded me of my dad & uncle workin on buckets in our backyard, while I got to be their helper. True shade tree mechanics. Thanks for sharing your build & bringing back some great memories.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@adamhoward2748]

Turned out nice!
Excited for the wagon up here in Canada they basically don’t exist anymore

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@mmediaaudio]

The nova turned out good, psyched to see the Nomad build. On the other hand, might want to get some better sticker designs made...

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@ezelk1337]

It turned out great! I really like your channel. This is something that the average motorhead could do and have a nice driver car that will turn heads. Not a trailer queen that costs 50 grand to build and that you're scared to drive because you might get a rock chip on it. I have a 66 Chevelle that I will be doing the same kind of build on.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@TexHasselhoff]

I’d definitely like to see you work on that third gen camaro. I have an 87 Camaro I just bought and I’m doing like you say fixing it a few hours a week at a time, can’t wait to get it painted.

[@clunkersandclassics]

good deal!

[@GMCTIM]

Love those hood luvers on the nova & cameros ! 👍🏻

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

I can’t believe how nice that car looks dude considering what you spent on the paint it’s really lovely and I’d be very proud of it nice job . I also find your videos very inspiring and they give me a nudge and a kick up the back side to get on with so thanks for that to 🙏👍

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks 👍

[@williamdunifon6162]

Is this for sale

[@chrisfuller4057]

I have just binge watched all 32 videos on the Nova over the weekend. Feeling inspired, excellent content and advice on the different processes. Can't wait for the Nomad

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks for watching!

[@zaphoidbeeblebrox1809]

This guy has Determination. Great Channel. Im in Australia, That car would be Big Bucks down here. Orange is my Fav Color !

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks! It's worth big bucks here too.

[@johnelliott7375]

Looking like a winner 🏆🙂, I would love to own and have it in my garage!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@toddmeltsch3797]

Hugger orange turned out nice against black. Love the black along bottom. nice touch.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@kennyguillotte1881]

Great looking job! Like the color combination.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Great job. I hope you paint your trunk hinges. Looking forward to seeing your wagon build.

Thanks!

Damn Lee!! That came out beautiful!! Great job!! 💪🏼👊🏼🤘🏼

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@dannycasler4959]

I think the wagon would look good done up as a ''twin'' to your SS! A lot of people would believe it was the real deal! Or even as a Sedan Delivery! There are a lot of possibilities on that one! I'm anxious to see what you plan to do with it!

[@clunkersandclassics]

coming soon I'll share my vision for it

[@Tx_Jay]

I just found you’re channel a few weeks ago and im already loving the content you’re making man, love the American classics🤩, keep up the great work👍🏼

Amazing how nice it turned out.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@wilenelson1810]

That turned out excellent! Nice work man!!!

[@jpalberthoward9]

It really is great to see a guy do not only a great job of fixing and restoring a car like this, but its also nice to see that you have respect for these cars, snd it's a relief to see that you haven't turned it into a hideous monstrosity by making it scrape the ground, or putting on those horrible tires and wheels they have nowadays. (wagon wheel rims and tires with no sidewalls...Yeccch!) You left the hood, body and roof alone, the paint and stripes fit the period, and in short, you have allowed this car to be excactly what it is.... a 1972 Chevy Nova. Unchopped, unlowered, unpimped. It looks great. Very nicely done! Hats off and thumbs up!!!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@wilenelson1810]

That was a good build. I cant compliment you enough i like the built not bought motto

[@clunkersandclassics]

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@pauls4002]

Yeah, I’d buy one to stick in my back window, seeing as your videos are going to help me put mine back together.

[@bobbyfarmer5044]

Looks awesome great job but I think you should have used a v8 instead of a 6 banger but all in all great car I love the moves from the chevy 2 to 1972 awesome card great job can't wait to see you r next project thanks for all the videos great work

Nova turned out pretty cool good job

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@unchained20000000]

I really didn't think the orange was going to do the Nova justice. But I was wrong, when you break it up with black and chrome, it does it justice. Sweet lil machine. Repair the rear driver's side rim you damaged and polish em up and you'll be sitting pretty.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@tommyb.7977]

Very Nice work, it's a Sweet looking car. Great Job

Great job on the nova and i can't wait to see the wagon project start.
Your final words gave me the extra push I needed to finally start back on my 72 chevelle ht....I welded all the body repairs 7yrs ago but got sidetracked (i run a cat rescue) but I got all the parts ordered for the interior & new wiring, have all the parts to rebuild the th 400 trans...I'll get the 400 sb rebuilt next then get the body off frame to clean and seal it all and paint it then put everything back together with the 373 posi rear gears..hopefully getting this all done this yr...again thanks for the inspiration/motivation to start on mine finally.

[@clunkersandclassics]

No problem. Sounds like a nice project!

[@douglaseconomy7238]

Looks great you put a major effort into that one what is comming next?

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks! 68 Nomad is next

[@codyblack4598]

Amazing job buddy 👏🏼 love it

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@stoveboltlvr3798]

Car looks really good. Those wheels are perfect for that car. I have seen those with the most outer ring (the part that needs repair) painted in a matte black. The gun metal gray in the center is perfect. That wagon is a boat with a lot of area to block sand but I have to admit that I haven't seen one like it. It's gotta be rare. I have seen a Chevelle wagon but never a Chevelle Nomad.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

Just found your channel a few weeks ago and have started watching all the videos in order. I love your thought process on these. I also love how you aren't sticking so much into them that you are afraid of driving them. They all look awesome and something you can jump into and drive and have a good time. I also would be interested in a smaller sticker.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks! I have bumper stickers for $5. You can pay to my email address [e-mail] through Paypal.com.

Man you do great work!...just found your channel!...I own a 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale as you can see in my picture...I don't trust myself to paint my car I wish I could have you take on the job for me but I'm all the way in Michigan...the car is 98% rust free with only surface freckles in the paint so it will be a easy job for someone to tackle!...but absolutely love the channel and I think I found my favorite channel to watch!...my wife passed away January 7th of this year so I've been doing all I can to get the car right and I'm down to ordering emblems and such off ebay so after its done with the paint job it will look like it rolled off the showroom floor!...but anyways keep up the good work and God bless!

Looks good I hope the paint last. Enjoyed the videos. I got an 90 model chevy truck I would like to do .I don't know if I want to tackle it myself I really don't have a good air compressor for painting.

Thanks! Cheap compressors at Harbor Freight!

[@markmoats5702]

The nova turned out great and I'm looking forward to the wagon I like the old heavy Chevy's like your chevelle and now having the wagon it's going to look badass when it's finished I watched the nova from beginning to end and what I seen you do to this car I can just imagine how the nomad is going to turn out keep up the great work
