Great post, anyone with experience doing either of those 2 things will realize the value of those tools. The coping patterns are great if you don't have access to bridgeport and the pie cut calculator is certainly something I will use.

I wonder how much paper for patterns would this have taken??? Coping tubes is very time consuming!!!

Nice. Good lookin ride you got there. Honestly I hated novas before starting this project. It grew on me though. The stretched quarters and enlarged wheel openings give it a lil flavor, novas are kind of a bland car.
