1972 Nova Restored by Glory Days

Vin#1X27D2L168242 This Street Resto-Mod is a custom built 1972 Chevy Nova SS Tribute built by Glory Days Auto Restoration in Vancouver. WA. The restoration was completed 7-1-14 and has about 500 miles on it since rebuild. so all the quirks of a build are dialed in. It's a full sub-frame off restoration. It took 1 year to complete and over 850 hours. There is over $22K in parts alone not including paint/labor that runs $65 per hour (you do the math). 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. We then applied 3-4 coats of Sherwin Williams Ultra 7000 basecoat and 3 coats of Sherwin Williams 931 Premium Clearcoat. 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.
