Looks great. Nice work. I like the seats in the car a lot for some reason.

car should be cool but not if you don't work on it you lazy inbred ----. So get off your hillbilly *** and put it together. The seats look like mazda seats. This place has gotten soft and it makes me kind of sad. You would likely pass the noob screening but the same can't be said about so many of the others.

Well, you followed 95% of my advice on the intro post, which is 90% more than 95% of the new folks do, so welcome to HMT. Looks like you got yourself one hell of a project, should be interesting to see the progress pics.

Thanks man. I imagine the street racing scene in B'ham is scarce since that guy got killed last year. I like Steele but haven't been in a couple of years. I've been going to Huntsville and Holiday Beach. I'm going to check out Bama Dragway (bamadragway.com) this year since that guy that ran L.A. County Raceway (shut down last year after over 30 years) bought it. I hope he can make something out of that track. He has at least 3 Pro Mod events scheduled this year and some Nostalgia racing events.

From first impressions there seems to be some decent people here. Then there's the usual snot-nosed punks that have to show there childish ignorance with their attempts to degrade someone else so they'll feel like they're better than them. Sometimes these ******** can even contribute to a board if they really do like cars more than showing their immaturity. BTW, where are you from?

Yeah MMP is a nice track- they had some great NMCA racing down there a couple of years ago. If George Howard has to close Huntsville Dragway down he'll put all his focus on MMP and have some hella good events there. George is a primo track owner/ promoter. He had a $101,000 payout event at Huntsville in 2006 for Top Fuel dragsters. Imagine TF dragsters running on a 1/8 mile track...it was awesome (Clay Millican won the money and set a new 1/8 mile e.t. and m.p.h. record- last 1/8 mile record was from 197.

Yeah, I think I know by now that the intro was too long and didn't have any paragraphs. I got used to posting that way from being on the junkyard turbos and carbureted blowers Yahoo message boards. I was just making an observation when I made the Hondas and imports comment- I see now that there are some muscle-car fans too. You'll have to read the "way to long" intro post to see what the plans are for the Nova. If I go through that ---- again I'll get my nuts cut out for posting a novel.

I see you have a pretty shweet looking nova though, my dad had a nice SS which he sold soon before I was driving and before I got an interest in cars, unfortunately.

Good to see another Alabama member too, there aren't too many here I'm in Madison, up north by Huntsvegas.
I get it about the long post and paragraphs ----, OK? Thanks for the comment on the Nova, I think they're sweet rides myself (wish mine was an SS). Duh-huh for another Alabama member.

welcome.

try fewer pictures of the seats. people want to see mechanical stuff on here and naked women. bonus points if they are pics of women you actually know.
Old school muscle heads can be cool. I learned from some of the really old school gear heads. One of my first cars (1950 Ford) had a flat head inline 6 cylinder. That was when cars were made to be worked on. Us old heads know a lot of the shortcuts, know how to make oddball fixes, and know a lot of things that won't work since we've tried most of it already. We might be able to help some of the young-uns just by telling them why something they want to try will or won't work.

I wasn't trying to get a lot of shots of the seats- it was the console I was trying to show off. My "home- made, padded and twill-covered, aluminum-frame console with hinged lid over storage compartment" console didn't get a single damn compliment. And I guess nobody saw the raised Bowtie emblems on the sides and on the hinged lid either. Now that pisses me off. ----!

Hey, I resent that ---- you said about me, calling me a "lazy inbred ----" and a "hillbilly". I want you to know that I ain't lazy, dammit. If you call me lazy again I'll have to kick yer ****!

Not Mazda seats, '93 Ford Probe. It's a damn shame to put Ford parts on a Chevy. I used a Ford 9 inch rear end and a Ford starter solenoid too. Ford makes a few good parts, but not many.

Thanks for all the compliments on the Nova guys.

Yeah they looked a lot like mazda mx-6 seats and they basically are since they build the ---- probes.
