1970 Nova survivor...or NOT the cutdown restoration video series 2

[@timjohn2810]

Once again, no disappointment and totally inspired. Makes me very happy to see the effort to do the job correctly. Thank you for sharing Rick.

[@carthageclassiccars]

You are welcome, thank you for the feedback!

[@mikemattina-qn7cg]

Great video wish it was a year or so earlier but helped me a ton. If possible can you show more of how you fit the new panels that would be very much appreciated the tricks and things to look for that someone with your trade knowledge has will be invaluable to us diy guys. Thanks again looking forward to this series 🍻

[@carthageclassiccars]

I will try to do my best to show some of the details, its balancing act as the more detailed I get the less support and worse the video usually does. Your welcome and thanks a lot for the feedback.

[@BessieMorrison]

Is this a SS or does it have sentimental value to the customer? Just curious given the amount of money he's putting into it. Thanks for posting. Excelent work as usual.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Honestly, it really is neither for the most part. The owner wants a Nova built a certain way to enjoy and it will not be close to stock. So not an SS or anything like that just a plain jane Nova about to be a pretty killer ride when complete.

[@SwiftRIBSAust]

Bo good to see a video about $$$ the cost of doing it right and lasting 50 years compared to cost of patching and good paint job that lasts 10 years

[@PaulKonrath]

Great information as always Rick. Love watching you save another Duece. Have some thoughts but will share privately. Thanks for the video.... every one that shows up is like finding another unopened Christmas present... sheer delight!

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thanks a lot!

[@dynomax7497]

Hi Rick. Awesome content and details once again. Following all of your builds closely, enjoying them all and learning heaps! Steve (New Zealand).

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thanks a lot Steve it means a lot to me.

[@dannydurham5716]

I hope this video gets you a lot more subscribers I think the quality is exceptional Keep up the good work

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it!

[@hardtail-gy8dk]

Not much original Nova left should make for a great build, hopefully the new panels fit ok

[@carthageclassiccars]

Yes, lucky the parts for the GM cars are large pieces. The last one I used turned out nice looking so hopefully this one is similar.

[@tonytavolieri1663]

Im here for the E-bodies but I don't mind watching the professional restoration process on other classics!

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thanks a lot Tony we appreciate the support!

[@scottbelen]

Gotta a 69 ss coming this next weekend looking forward to seeing your knowledge help me to get threw mine.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Awesome and good luck on your build. Hopefully its a little more solid.

[@billtario7630]

Can really see how the frame jig is vital keeping that car straight as a string great job

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you very much!

[@MyBlueZed]

It’s a 1970s axe. It has had 4 new heads and three new handles. 🤣🤣🤣❤️🇦🇺

[@carthageclassiccars]

Nice haha yes I could see that, thanks for the comment!

[@Kracker215]

Never gets old, it's like seeing it the first time, every time.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Awesome thanks a lot. I am kind of the same way every new project I get excited about building.

[@nansiblair1529]

Another great video and content. Looking forward to seeing more. One suggestion, for safety you might want to put a guard on your grinder. Have seen others that had theirs fly off. Just a thought. Cheers.

[@carthageclassiccars]

you are 100% right on the safety tip and I am sure I will eventually learn the hard way on that. I rotate the guard on and off every now and them. Its me being lazy and not wanting to work around it and I am wrong for that thinking.

[@nansiblair1529]

Thanks for your reply. Hubby and I are enjoying your videos and learning a lot. Your work and teaching are awesome. Thanks for sharing. From a couple new fans in Canada. 🇨🇦🙂

[@jeffallen3382]

Someone at KZbin doesn't like your channel Rick... Again I never got the notification for this video. AND I even clicked notify on the premier when it showed earlier on my home page. But it never did and even not showing on my normal notifications list. I do have it set for all notifications as I always have. Not sure why KZbin is doing this to you?

[@jeffallen3382]

Ps... you might want to ask other viewers if they are seeing this as well?

[@carthageclassiccars]

I don't know Jeff, have you checked your Social tab in some emails i think the notification are sent there. I don't ever try to sign up for notifications so I am not exactly sure what might be missing. I am glad you did get to see it better late then never if nothing else. Maybe someone else will see this and have some insight

[@jeffallen3382]

@@carthageclassiccars yeah I don't know either sir. It's not in my emails. I have seen this issue with some of the firearm channels I follow, which knowing how anti gun KZbin is I can understand. But auto body work??? That's an odd one!

[@ty3095]

Great video, Rick. Always a quality job. I look forward. To this build, thanks, and keep the videos coming.👍👍

[@carthageclassiccars]

You are welcome Ty thanks for watching!

[@YootubeUK]

Restorations nor for the faint of heart! Top stuff.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you!

[@motomarcel1]

love watching your videos and you do amazing work!!! KEEP THESE VIDEOS COMING!!

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you very much will do!

[@cjones22p]

Can't live chat for some reason, but just saying hello.. I'd like to see that garage you're building. I'm sure other guys would also.. let's see it Rick ! Lol😂

[@carthageclassiccars]

Sorry you didn't get to chat with us. I will say you will see in the next two videos what state the garage is currently as I was out there with this car and the Cuda I am building blasting. Its been waiting on others at this point which makes things so much harder. I will try and maybe give an update hopefully sooner then later. I like things to be what envisioned in my head before I unveil it.

[@jimdrechsel3611]

When you transport what’s left to be blasted you must a really strong jig so it doesn’t the remaining shape doesn’t twist or distort. Great stuff Rick.

[@carthageclassiccars]

Actually that is a great point I already got most of the next video edited on the Cuda blasting that will come out and I show it being transported to the blast site. Thats a great point that I will mention, thank you for that!

[@SeanJoseph-s2s]

WOW...lots to do on this project...great content and looking forward to seeing more.... thanks..🔧🔧👍

[@carthageclassiccars]

Yes it is quite a bit of work, lucky for me a lot of the Nova pieces are large and they go in quick, but thanks for following along.

[@josephsmolensky2587]

Ricky 🚙I❤️your work inspirational 28:26

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you very much!

[@mrpurcountry]

These novas are complicated and a lot of work Rick, think I am bias I prefer cars that start with the letter C. Lol

[@carthageclassiccars]

Haha yes this one will be a cool car, but yes I understand what you mean, don't worry the next video out hopefully this week will be the one your looking for. Thanks for checking this one out also.

[@randyrussell4331]

Hell you've done one nova you should be able to do that one blind folded or in your sleep keep up the great work❤.

[@carthageclassiccars]

@@randyrussell4331 Haha I wish I was tat way but you are right it is a little easier when you have done a few of the exact same car. I need to make sure I just don't get stuck in that autopilot mode and forget something.

[@lr7633]

Your the best

[@carthageclassiccars]

Thank you
