Hey everyone. I'm Bobby, and this was my 2nd Nova in High School and turned it into my Senior Project. I bought this car in October of 2006. It ran and drove and is rust free. Since then, I have sanded down the whole car, primered it, and have now painted it. I also added Corvette rally wheels. I refinished the interior and have pulled out the 6 banger and dropped in a 350.

In the fall of my senior year (2007), I decided I needed a newer more economy friendly car since I was leaving for the Navy right after I graduated. So sadly, I sold my baby.

**Newest Pics**
Went to my High School today and took some pics.
