Project Prostreet Nova

Well I said I wasn't going to pick up another project car until my 67 Camaro was completely done, but it's fairly close and this car was too good of deal to pass up. The only problem is, this car needs de-rainbowed in a bad way. This is a very 70s styled car...hell I don't even know if it was in style then...or ever. First order of business is going to be pull the motor and paint the subframe and engine bay, and give the engine a freshen up. From what I was told it's a 355 with all forged bottom end, 11.5:1, dart iron eagle heads, victor jr intake, holley 650 carb, but I have no idea what's really inside. It doesn't sound that radical to me. The trans is a TH400 with a brake, 3" aluminum driveshaft, narrowed 12 bolt with 33 spline axles, 5.13 gear, and 33" tires. The car is complete and running and driving which is nice. After I address the engine bay, I'm going to paint the car. Still haven't decided on a color yet, probably some shade of a dark pearl blue. Anyways, I'm always open to suggestions so toss some out! Be nice lol!

Man I keep expecting to see at least one junker but I never do. Sweet car. Congrats! Novas were def way cool when I was in school in the 70s. They were very fast with small blocks because they were light. I'm sure any color you choose will look great. I have always been a sucker for red on fun cars.
