After I got the Nova home I took a good look at the paint and body,everything looked nice a good shine and no scratches or dings looked like the car had been painted some what recently or very well taken care of.But I did find a few minor blemishes that the previous body man either overlooked or these spots came back through and the drivers door was not quite lined up correctly and someone had welded the door hinges.I already knew I wanted to add some type of graphics to the car but I did,nt want it to look like everyone elses car.So I asked around and looked online for a custom graphics shop.That is when It was highly recomended to me to check out Alan Pastrana from "Pastrana unlimited.com" A custom Airbrush Graphics Artist.So I contacted Alan and sat down with him several times and went over what I was looking to have done to the car he was a great person to work with.

Alan set me up with Jessie Morton Sr. from "Academy classic automobiles.com" (See my link section) Jessie corrected all the spots I was concerned with and applied a new base coat (PPG paint matching the original color)and Cleared the car when the graphics were done

After my few visits with Alan and my poor ass drawings I brought to him (and I,m no artist) Alan put together an amazing graphics scheme on Photo shop and after a couple of changes I agreed on what I believe to be A very different and unique custom paint job to A pro street car on the road that I have seen In new england
