1972 Nova Restored by Glory Days

Description for Chevrolet Nova 1971

This Street Resto-Mod is a custom built 1971 Chevy Nova SS Tribute built by Glory Days Auto Restoration in Vancouver. WA. The restoration was completed 11-1-14 and has about 650 miles on it since rebuild. so all the quirks of a build are dialed in. It's a full sub-frame off rotisserie restoration. It took 1 year to complete and over 920 hours. There is over $27K in parts alone not including paint/labor that runs $65 per hour (that’s 60k in labor). So 27K + 60K in labor 91K total. You're getting a fully documented build with full excel sheet on build. documented hours with dates and job completed. a thumb drive of over 100 photos. and ALL RECIEPTS. The body was stripped down to bare metal and it had very minimal metal/rust issues which is why we selected this car. The body was treated with Epoxy Sealer before bodywork began. The bodywork was completed and primed then blocked 4 times to get the lines perfect with high build Sherwin Williams primer. We then sealed it and applied 3-4 coats of Sherwin Williams Ultra 7000 Nissan Daytona Blue basecoat and 3 coats of Sherwin Williams 950 Premium Clear coat. This is the most beautiful blue paint jobs I’ve ever seen! The pearl is amazing and the paint job is show quality. The car was wet-sanded with 1500/2000 grit and polished to a pristine shine. All new chrome. lights/lenses. original wiring great condition. all lights electrical works perfect. No expense was spared on this build as you can see.
