i finally had some time off from work so i wanted to slap the front end together and see what shims and what not i needed, its not a final alignment but everything is somewhat close to perfect, just needs to tweaks here and there
Enjoy!

Looks nice with the metal on there!

Be careful with the lower part of your fenders though. Rocker area/door lines don't seem to match 100% which is typical for some brands of repro nova fenders.

Black Novas don't do much for me. Someone in my high school had a 2nd Gen Nova in blue with dual white stripes that looked hands-down amazing.

Something like this shade of blue:

You should get some 17s - that whole frontend is a major upgrade to make the car handle better. Why waste it with some crappy skinny 15's?
