Ok, the Nova has arrived from Tennessee to New Jersey shipping terminal!
Will be shipped to the house in the next day or so.

I think it is time I tell my wife!

UPDATE:::::::::::::::

I have completed the decking that the car will be worked on. It is on the side of my garage. The land has a down-grade so I needed to build a "platform" for it to sit on where it is nice and level. This way I can work on it outside when the weather is nice. I will move it into the garage in the Winter months but for now, I want to be outside!

Over the past 2 months I have bought a few thousand dollars worth of parts. Most of it is interior parts along with many exterior parts! The car has been parked in my parents driveway since it was shipped up from Tennessee and they are getting a little "tired" of it being there. I plan on bringing it back to my house within the next week or so. Once it is at my house, I will keep everybody updated with the progress! It should be fun!

Looks like you have too much spare time Dave

LOL Harold! I wish!!!!
I am just good at multi-tasking!  

The reason I got this I think was because for the past 5 years, I have had no free time. Every weekend was spent building my house.
It has been a real undertaking. Almost every weekend has been spent rebuilding this 1934 house. It has been well worth it though.

Here are the before & after pictures.


BEFORE...



AFTER...



The interior was totally gutted also.
Hard wood floors, all custom moldings, new paint, new kitchen, full A-V multi-media system throughout the house, cultured stone walls....
It has been a rough road.
Add to the mix my wife having 2 children and it has been a real test! All is good now and like I said, I have just completed the basement for the girls.

For any of you that know me, that closet houses my 2 computers. All the cabling goes up through the floor into my office where my simulator is. The PC's were too loud upstairs with all the fan noise and it drove my wife crazy! So I came up with the idea to move them underneath me. I had to incorporate allot of ventilation as you can see!
