COOL!
I'm an old dude whe drove a 70 Nova in H.S. I had it for almost 15 years and drove it all over.
I even made a hitch for it when I was in the Army to pull a Uhaul LOL. That got a lot of looks.
How did you attach it? To the frame rails? I think it would be awesome to haul a small trailer with

These pics range from aprox 1983-1998. the bottom shows my BUBBA GUMP hitch. It was a heavy pipe with tabs that connected to bumper bolt at the brackets and dropped down and also used the gas tank strap bolts IIRC. Not a heavy duty setup, but I pulled an enclosed uhaul from Muncie, IN to Ft Gordon, GA and Later From Ft Gordon to Ft Devens, MA with no problems at all. BTW, these pics represent 6 engines and 4 transmissions starting with I-6 powerglide to 400 sbc st-10 4 speed :)

LOL that;s what happens when a 16 Y.O. tries "drifting" in the snow for the first time.

It must be Nova week. I have been working on my 70 Nova the last two days.

Quarter panel is now on, set the big block in just to get it out of the way. Been buying parts and working on both cars slowly but surely. Little less time with the job change.
