Well I don't know where to post this(Since it is a completed or semi completed car)
But i currently own a 1970 chevy nova as of 9/5/13.
Was a gift to me by my father(Best gift ever) and i just wanna know general tips for this classical beast. Its a very nice car, Drum brakes front and back.nt
Its pretty much been made brand new, When it was bought, NO RUST ANYWHERE (Talk about luck!) Only a small amount of rust on the front left side around the headlights but that was an easy fix
Here are some pictures:

As luck would have it, This car was bought new in 1974 and only had one owner(Two really, but the 2nd guy sold it right away) Only has 388k miles(If i remember correctly) Custom made seats with my name on it :wink: :grinno: Semi-New engine(Old one would not start, What a shame too, They already had it plated with nickel[i think] New engine needs to be raised a bit more since it crashes with the wheel if i turn all the way) V6 4.5.
The shift stick isnt the real one since the color wouldnt match the color theme (It was red, Car was red before it was painted) so a quick trip to the junk yard solved that.
My question is, Does it really only bring only one rear view mirror on the drivers side?
Can i get any care tips to make it shine on the streets and interior? (Keep in mind i dont own a vacuum sadly)
And any other general tip that would come in handy
Any comments on this car? Going to start driving to school soon (I can finally ditch the bus! yay!!)
