Hey, Everyone, I'm Phil, 156248
I live in Phoenix and a transplant from Boston. I've always been into modifying cars trucks and bikes. Moving to Cali in 2007 I caught the off road bug and forgot about street performance but I stumbled across a 1974 Nova Last year and was hooked back into the muscle car world. This is the most complete build I've ever taken on outside of work and I've had a great time getting it to where it is today but it's still very much a work in progress. I'm a newbie to forums but have trolled for a long time, I'm always super impressed with some build threads people put together. I need to figure out how to use the image sites and all that and how all the communication works... be easy on me. Here's a little about my car. I found it in a storage lot in the desert, it was a bare roller, no interior or electrical system, dash was destroyed and the rear floor were rotted out from the windows being left open for decades.
We are going to be empty nesters this year and we needed a road trip car, I think this will do it. Here's where I'm at up until now, I hope you like it.
