I appreciate that you are saving these cars that 90% of people would write off.

Your videos are funny and informative. Some of them should have a disclaimer "Not to try this at home". Keep the videos coming and also the laughter.

I had a 69 Nova in high school in 72. I bought it from my mother she replaced it with a 67 Chevelle Anyway it had a 307 Small blocks spin up quick. It had a two speed transmission I never got beat by 350 Camaros with 4 speeds while they were double clutching and shifting my Powerglide was in full motion it shifted at 70 mph so all the time it took for them to shift I was pulling away. When I got it I put cragars on it 6” in the front 10” deep dish in the rear I cut the exhaust off as soon as the y turned straight and I put short THRUSH MUFFLERS on it. It sounded bad and it was. Everyone told me 307 2 barrels were junk but when we raced all they saw were tailights HAVE FUN WITH YOUR NOVAS. Mine was gold with black interior. The only other time General Motors used 69 Nova gold was in 1964 Cadillac’s it was a unique color and I loved it ENJOY !!!!!!!

My hat goes off to you for doing what you wanted and how you pictured it would be and didn't look back and worrying about what others would do or think! I've been working on vehicles in shops, lean tos Whatever to get the job done since 1978. Cudos 👍😎

That is My dream car! Since i was a boy with older brothers who had them. One who's now deceased. It went from dreaming of having one for 42 years of my life, loving that body style, to desperately wanting one and hopefully getting one before i die for more than just sentimental reasons.

New motor in a can. I like it. 🏆. 🛠🇺🇸🛠

Fantastic job! Your Dad taught you well! It's nice to see that your kids are involved and enthusiastic about it!

I'm always amazed by guys like you and the guys over at Shop209 and DD Speed Shop, putting cars back on the road that I wouldn't bring home if they were given to me. I know I lack the skills you guys have but I also lack the ambition. I like working on old cars but some of these are just overwhelming to me. Two thumbs up!

What an entertaining channel, with the fast forwards , music, the sheer guts and joyful outlook. Well done , just when I given up on you tube you came along. Me like

Awesome. I'm so glad your saving this car 👍💯

Cool gasser! Hello from France 🇫🇷

Good video...people need to know that budget builds still exist...as long as the builder has a supply of elbow grease, ambition...and empty pockets.

Love the car, nothing crazy just a good ole garage build.

I LOVE NOVAS THEY ARE SIMPLE AND NOW EXPENSIVE THEY WERE DESIGNED TO DRAG RACE. They were cheap, simple, not to many parts. Hardly any options. They were made to go fast in a straight line!!!!!!!!

Awesome build an such a satisfying video from start to finish I was in I have to say the part with your buddy pounding the windshield I cringed with each blow my heart dropped when you said it actually had the Crack, but you did a fantastic job saving this hot rod 💯✌️

You are the wire wheel wizard, nicely done!

I'd be tickled shitless just to have it the way it is in the beginning

Brother, I'm kind of proud of you've been there done that. It all worked out in the end good luck

Very nice job on the panel replacement. I did a full floor pan replacement on my 85 Mustang and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Man, if a feller can't be happy about that, he can't be happy!! Y'all did a great job and the fab work was absolutely flawless!!! CONGRATS!! I'm getting ready to tackle a 72 Grand Prix, and hopefully I won't have to dig as deep as you did, wish me luck!!! New Sub by the way.

Bad to the 🍗 American muscle 💪💪💪💪💪 top 10 old school

My '69 Swinger had rubber floor covering. Came out of Central Texas, but had spotted the front footwells being rotten from water getting trapped under the mat. We cut out the entire floor, replaced it. Even put in the 4-speed hump. Now it has subframe connectors, torque boxes, mini tubs (just to the rear rails), the thicker, reinforced core support. I really can ID with you saying "I'm into this a lot more than I thought I'd be..." lol

AMERICA AT IT'S BEST. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.

Ooo man i got some flash backs when i was building my 71 nova❤

Super cool! This showed up on my feed today and I was curious. Glad to say you didn't disappoint. I'm a Mopar guy but appreciate all automotive content, keep up the good work!!!

I subscribed to your channel when I saw the video on the Jenko nova. I have a 72 Nova myself that I lost ambition on but after watching you I really need to get back to the garage. I want to get back into racing at my local track this year.

Absolutely great content man, I like that your family is included also. 👍🏼

“ it looks nice does it work ? It better , not buying anything else “ 😂

I think this was for sure a save over a revival ,when they are found like this they are for sure a save . I like the saves over revivals for sure . But at the end of the day it's just good to see them get back on the road.

Nice job Bud! New subscriber here from southwest Tennessee. Ive been a 68-69 Chevelle nut my entire life, and never cared much for the Nova's. However, over the last 5 or so years, they have been growing on me. They're my second favorite muscle car now. Hopefully one day, I will have the means to own, if not a Chevelle, maybe a Nova. They are still alot more affordable and easy to find, than a Chevelle. Mainly because they kept the same body style from 68-74. Much more plentiful. My dream car is and will always be a 69 COPO Chevelle L71/M22, in Hugger Orange, black vinyl top, painted steel wheels and dog dish caps. My plans have been to find a 69 Malibu or 300 and make the closest COPO clone as possible out of it.

Awesome build! This is giving me some motivation to get back to my twin Turbo Cutlass build!

There's definetly a lot of work that went on this car. Props to you for turning more of these cars into driveable vehicles.

Teamwork makes the dream work, love the video

For what you're trying to accomplish with this project you're doing a fine job. Keep grooming those skills!

Looks like hell, doing a great job bringing it back 😮

Nothing like a Nova

Love the stance !!!

my ass puckered when he started beating the sh** outta the windshield

Gosh, ur soo lucky to have an understanding wife that not only helps you working on them, but allows you the liberty to find and buy these kool rides !!

Awesome content Great build series Love all the hard work

That Impala in basically the same color but more bluish a bad ass looking car I love that for64/ 65

I gave it a like as soon as I saw you thawing the diff.😂

Just found your channel. I'm subbed after watching this, but I am highly disappointed that you didn't include a burnout!

Working with your little girl must be so terrific!

Just found this channel. Absolutely amazing!!! Can’t wait to follow along

Cool video and I love the call from your grandma ❤

Watching in the UK 🇬🇧 fair play its something i wouldn't have done hats off to you

Very true car is very beautiful love to see more

This was an absolutely amazing build in 9 months..awesome job by you, Mike and your whole family..very proud of you

Nice job! I'm excited to see where this goes.

Awesome work. Give you a lot of credit for your time and dedication. Was definitely a salvage car when you got it. But I personally can’t say it’s a savage. But amazing work none the less. Just get it out and drive it and enjoy it and make it worth while

Absolutely love what you do brother!

You're doing a great job buddy Just Keep On Keepin On

That’s awesome you got your little partner! She’ll remember that forever working with Dad! Great job bud! You got a New Subscriber with this one!!!

Your channel just popped up in my list today, great video , the Nova is sweet , the kids are adorable, , i also subscribed. I have owned my 1972 Nova since 1993 was my daily driver for years, unfortunately its been sitting for way too long but im going to be working on it when i can because i miss driving it . God Bless and look forward to your other videos

Looks great already, I'm a Ford guy but I really like what you're doing.

I would like to see this nova get a new lease on life! Hope to see more of it.

Only 6.6K subs? C'mon world, wake up to this awesome channel!

👍 I love what you did. I am located right in North tip of Delaware . Let me know if you are ever selling a 68-72 Nova that you have put some love into to. I had a '72 as my 1st car, my grandma's original Nova. Pee green 2 dr, power glide, only options were power steering and green tinted glass. Wish I would have been able and capable to keep it and do what I wanted to it. I did a lot of work to it with little time and money while in Highschool. Barely any rust. I took it to highschool body shop class for metal work. I have only had a single car garage with zero width to do any kind of body work indoors. Most importantly, my county won't allow a non inspected vehicle outside on your property with zero parking anywhere except driveways and street but must be kept in a garage if not inspected and registered. So you can only pull the car out of garage for like a day or 2 then it has to go back in garage. Why I'm looking to move. I want to take welding classes and do what you're doing. I can tell you access to so many parts cars you can strip as needed is a HUGE help. There was a junkyard down the street that specialized in pre 1990 vehicles. But they have since switched to vehicles from 1980 - 2000. So I lost my parts department. You do great work. I enjoy your builds. I just came across this video so I got many vids to go back through. Keep bringing 68-72 Novas back from the dead. I woulda wrote off this 72 for putting back on the road and stripped the front clip and other salvageable components and let it sink, lol. Great work man. Oh, you'll learn who to trust working on what. Some people are great at doing suspension, brakes, engine, metal work but can't do interior, glass, or trim work. And vice versa. Finesse vs brute force. Many can't do both. Some can do it all. Usually comes down to patience.

that's my DREAM car

I’m glad I found your video. I subscribed

It going to be a very great car love your work very cool 😎

I think what your doing looks great! Keep up the great work !

MY 71 CAMARO HAD SOME RUST.....IT WAS SCARRY....NOT AS BAD AS YOUR NOVA.....I SCREWED UP MY COURAGE....AND CUT AND WELDED.. AND DAWM... I GOT TO ENJOYING THE WORK...CAME OUT SO NICE.....DAILY PEOPLE WANT THE CAR.......WHICH.. . IS ANNOYING...

Ok the baby commentary and of course the baby BURN was the best part lol. But I prefer cars that get done right. Best of luck.

It can be a very great car I love old school American Nova ti is a builder very cool 😎

Exactly what I want too. Nice job.

Well done sir!

awesome video!! when you have a carb fire, just turn the motor over. that is the best way to put it out.

Hell my friend you just keep on doing what you are doing great videos I try not to miss a one

Totally enjoying your 70 Nova revival. I'm currently doing a similar ( in several ways) of my 71 Nova ,after a fire from engine bay wiring harness to in and under dash to everything in the interior. I took all of the front frame off and rebuilt everything including the frame mount holes. We all know how they tend to dissolve in time! New dashtop, dash front, wiring,windshield ,headliner.Front and rear seat upolstory(coming) Once I got into it I decided on a total "everything" front suspension rebuild,front brake all new rebuild. I've had 5 two door Novas (69to71 year units.) Alwaysss scrounging for parts:) The quest goes on. Keep up the cool Nova stuff and vids, nice low budget work! :)

Dan, Awesome you made the cut in amazing time, well done!!! I guess you will just have to rip her on the streets for now....

Absolutely love the vision you have

Nice Score! Love the Novas!

Brother your so Awesome!!! Keep up the good work I am a nova lover as well God bless!!!

You are a brave soul for what you were able to achieve. Bravo!

grew up in the neighborhood across the street from that scrapyard. theres a 71 firebird with a tree thru the center. my dad tried to buy it 25 years ago and they wouldnt sell it. it never moved and eventually got a sapling thru the floor and sits there to this day

If your wife ever says all you do is collect junk!! Tell her I've got you too...

Wow u did a hell o a job my friend , quite talented....✌️

Crazy good job man, great video. I’m a first timer to your Chanel, this video deserves lots of views. Hope KZfaq picks it up. Subscribed I’d personally like so see it be more of a street/strip car than a race car, but you what makes you happy.

This thing is freaking cool! I helped a buddy do the exact same thing with a 68 Camaro he stumbled upon in one of his neighbors barns after the guy passed away. it was a low mile 6 cylinder car that was missing a drivetrain and was other wise in pieces. I borrowed a trailer from work and hauled the thing to his house with my 81 Chevy K20. He found a 305 and a th350C from an 80's ElCamino, we went to swap meets for random parts and got the thing driving in like 6 months.

Go Ravens, Go Orioles! Pure accent made me homesick. Great work I'm hooked. I had a 72 Nova.

Nice save, the floor really made it viable, well done.

What an awesome job

Awesome job!!! I used to take my cars to island dragway. It’s really cool to see island dragway in a video!!!

My buddy Corey had at least a dozen of these novas. Some that he pulled from junk yards looked way beyond repair but he'd get the work done. That was forty years ago.

Dude you got a gang of those out there and they look awesome man you're f****** Nova genius ain't you

That is amazing how good a shape than floor pans are all that rust that was hidden everywhere else then floor pans are amazing that at least that makes your job a little bit easier

I'm diggin it bro 🤝

Great job !!!

Very cool, brother. I approve. Awesome built start to finish. Enjoy the build.

Honestly I’m impressed how he properly coated the underside of the car. Most KZfaqrs don’t take the time to do things the right way. I wasn’t going to watch this channel but now I’m glad I did 👍 but bro we gotta talk for a second man. Change your hairstyle or forever wear your hat. That haircut got you looking like the kidnapper on the movie Ted 😂 I just can’t unsee it

Awesome work boys I love it

Very cool, you did a pretty good job (except for the roof repair lol). Keep up the good work

Great job man...

After I looked at a 68 Nova I like it better than the 69 because the key is in the dash not the steering column. That’s the only way I could tell them apart the interior. Key on the dash is more old school. Maybe get a dash for a 68 and put it in your 70 !!!!!!!! 😮 just a thought

the rims and tires are the nicest part of this car

Reminds me of the nova Eddie Murphy drove in Beverly Hills cop, pretty cool revival as well!

Great job honestly , live the car and the look , btw take a p100 3m mask next time to protection your lungs buddy, paper mask are not doing anything

Sooo cool. Awsome to see one from the grave to back to the streets. The whole build in one video. Can’t watch to see it in the strip. I just picked up a 72 nova and about to start the build!! Keep up the good videos
