PPG base clear was sprayed on the body then wet sanded smooth and buffed. The subframe was blasted and painted. A lot of new chrome was added. Today the Nova only comes out on nice days. Nerissa attends many cruises and car shows each year.

Years ago they went through Camaros, Chevelles and Corvettes but never had a Nova. That changed in the fall of 1996. The Nova had a frame off restoration several years ago, with a rebuilt 327, mild cam 650 Holley and a lot of go. The Nova has been the recipient of several awards at local and regional shows. The car is black on black, and with the orange engine for contrast it is a real looker.
