    Was looking for some other information in some old magazines and stumbled across an interesting article about a guy who built a nice little Nova with all old school parts. Thought it would be of interest to the Hamb and present yet another reason why people should subscribe to Hot Rod Magazine.
    Anybody know who this guy is..........

  6. Of course everyone knows that car belongs to fellow HAMBer Jim Forbes unless you have been living under a rock somewhere. HRP

    Yes, it was a "tongue in cheek" narrative. That's why I put "Just kiddin Jim" below the pictures. I joined the Hamb in 2017 and this article appeared in 2016, so when I originally saw it, I didn't know Squirrel, and it had long ago faded from memory. Now though I immediately recognized it as his car when I was going thru some old issues in my magazine stash. I just thought it would be nice to bring it back to the fore and let a lot of other Hambs who might not have seen the article, see what Jim had accomplished.
