Did you get the pics of the moldings that I sent? If so did you recognize the hood? I've got a 64 ChevyII I've had for 20 years that I'm doing body work on. Mine has a 400hp 350. They are fun cars. CPP makes a front subframe kit that gets rid of the strut rods and improves handling and alignment. Church boys racing also makes a very nice kit that costs a bit more.

Honestly, from someone who's going to put stripes on his Spider, I like a solid color on this car, and also like the white. Clean, simple, and understated, just like the body style.

Looks like you jumped right into that one! I can see in the pics it sill has the crummy factory lower control arm/strut rod setup. If you have any front end problems, ( I could never get mine to hold an alignment and it handled like a pig), check into the CPP kit that replaces it with a tubular a-arm. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-67-NOVA-CP ... 31&vxp=mtr
The bearing kit for the idler arm also works wonders:
