      If the car isn't salvagable, you should be able to find a decent Nova for a decent price. There are out there, it just might take some time. Good luck with with whichever direction it takes you.

      So sorry to hear about this, I hope it turns out to not be as bad as you think.
      Like said before, roof panels can be fixed.

      Someone in Houston actually bought and fixed my Dad's truck! I don't think I would want to own it but this just shows that just about anything can be fixed.

      Sorry to here about the damage. As for repairable it should be doable. Last year we had a Lexus LS430 come in the a city worker backed into with a backhoe. It took out the 1/4, decklid, sail area and all the reinforcments and the roof. Once done looked just like any other LS430 on the lot.

      Rebuilding your Nova is a lot simpler car to work on. In right hands it will be fine.

      no, no pictures yet, apparently my brother was able to pop the big ding out of the roof so it looks good mostly, but at the front windshield there is a ding that is pretty significant, so luckily it was not as bad as it initially appeared but there is some damage that cant be popped out...
      my dad an I will be talking to some shops at Chicagoland good guys...but I dont want to say more on that until I have a definitive answer

      Sounds like it can be fixed. I think I saw roof skins in a repop catalog recently.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
