[mi396ss]

This post caught my eye and I figured I would tell my story. When I was growing up a guy down the road from me had a 1972 Nova SS that he would drive by with all the time. I loved that car so when I was old enough I found a 1969 SS 396 and bought it in 1996 for $1,000. I totally restored the car over about an 8 year period and still have it today. I also always wanted a 1969-1972 K10 when I was younger. In 2005 I bought one and over the last 16 years have restored it and I'm almost done with it now. I've tried to hunt down all OEM sheet metal for both projects and was able to do so except for the quarters on the Nova. Both of these projects have been a lot of fun and the way that I did them over a longer period of time kept them affordable to do. You just need a place to work on them and a lot of patience.
