Matt, my vision is for there to be a new owner so I won't spend a huge amount of hours on it. ") I have to remind myself that the whole idea for this was to have less stuff around. LOL

Thats what I was thinking, that you didn't plan to sweat it. If you did, that would be a good place to play with photo edits. :)

enjenjo nailed it ! the 4 door roof line seals the deal . KB when can you get started ? you may have to push Bobs model A to the back of the line but he will understand . You are on a roll with the trucks .

And metalflake for sure !

Quote from: "idrivejunk"I have a few pics of a Fairmont one from a swap meet years ago. Lots of smog era rides could work. I think Novas since they are leaf spring to begin with could be bed floored and easy full framed. For if you gotta carry two Pontiac V8s or an ATV. Or all your tools. I have pics of all that in my old one. Here is Frank's suggestion rendered. The drip rail would fall a few inches short at bottom. I extended it. Wonder if this concept applies to any Grand Prixs...


Now chop it by the amount you lengthened the drip rail.
Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.

If I were to try a Nova sedan delivery, what do I grab the roof off of? :?:  :idea:  Monza? Later Malibu? Chevy II?

Here is the Eeyore Camino I had. :lol:  It never could hold it's oil but it was very comfortable, smooth riding and quite versatile. I miss it.

Almost missed your post when we went to page 2. I'll try that.

Could someone make squishing sounds please  :lol:  Thank you  :)  Looks a bit much if I keep the sedan drip rail end. I like a good rifle slot as much as the next guy but no stoplight viewer required please.

If it was me, I'd still be working with the Camino glass frame, I like the raked look. This green one needs cute tiny wing windows. Wonder what happens if I plug on a metric Camino lid from the dash up all the way around. Or a smog Camino um, hat.. or whatever that is...going for no glass frame. Gee, I should have just been using hardtops for these maybe eh?

Go for it. I think that will be the best look

The sedan window shape is less Corvair and more 70 Impala looking. Colors might be influencing me. Or am I influencing them? :)  Doing this in black and white could help. Thanks for the nudge, it ain't over. Maybe I should chop that chop in half.

Got a couple pics from a fellow Junk fan here to show you. Nice el Wrongo spotting, John. I think thats a Riv front end but can't make the tail. :?  I am down with the diving board trunk lid approach somewhat.





I thought I would give my Grape GP a shot after seeing these... and ran screaming nopenopenopenope delete delete. It wasn't pretty at all.

The back end is Eldorado.

That was my only guess, I promise.

Nova Nomad has stuck in my mind but I still can't think of a roof line to grab. Possibly the shape of a 73-7 A body wagon? Vega? Hey... :idea:  :-}

It is for sale and it could be yours to finish.  It has been in that same spot for a long time.
