You ride is looking pretty tough, but for some reason the 74's always do... I am currently working on 74 project nova hatchback like yours, and was wondering if you might be able to help me with a few pictures. You see mine was cut up inside around the area where the rear seat (back) bolts to the interior floor. I was wondering if you could take a few pics of that area and email to me. I would totally appreciate this from one nova guy to the next. Again the area I need to see so I can fab mine back together is... where the rear seat back cushion hinge bolts to the car floor. Any help would be great. wjcrigler@hotmail.com
