hey james, i havent seen you in a while, and i needed to ask you a question. did you fiberglass your floor pans in your nova? because my driverside, and passenger floor pan needs replaced and i dont want to buy them, so i was just going to cut out the rust and fiberglass in new ones. What do you think? oh and you need to check out my hood, my mom told me that you asked about it. it looks a lot better now then when you last saw it. anyway ill see you around.
