Thanks Bowie The color is PPG Orange-Glo and it's a 3 stage paint. This is with a silver metallic base.

You have a very nice nova! What suspension upgrades/goodies do you have in the rear?

Thanks for the info, i'm sure i'll have more questions for you when I get around to that part of the build on my 71. Not sure exactly what direction I want to take. I'm leaning towards mini tubs

Love that color BTW it really pops in the sunlight keep the pictures coming

nice looking car, I always liked the nova and you did a great job with that color. Did you do any mods to the rear steer or is that not a concern with a drag car? We don't use them in circle track with the rear steer...
