![]() ![]() Back in '96, I was working at a Gas Station as a Petrolium Transfer Engineer (Gas Jockey) and I had a few regulars who always came by to visit and chat abit. I came across the first comic on my own back in 1995, and in '96, this one gentlemen Mr. Taplin ... dropped off a comic relating to my car when I was working one day. Took my fair share of teasing over the car ... LOL. |
![]() I got an idea from how Eric 'SuperNova' Harvey painted his grill red to match his car. I figured I'd try something different and painted the inner part of the bowtie a light green, same color as my car. I think it turned out rather well, and even did up a set of 350 symbols in Late Fall 2000. |
![]() So guess what I did ?? seeing how I'm known for having Smiley Faces everywhere.... kind of a trademark one might say. Picked up another air cleaner lid at the wreckers and painted it up. I used the 'Smiley Face' lid for most of the summer of '96, then later replacing it with a chrome air cleaner setup. Now it sits in the garage, added a clock piece in it and VOILA ... My 'Smiley Face' Clock! |
![]() I was known at work of being a car guy and abit Nova-Crazy. Someone having quite the sense of humour posted up a picture of my NOVA behind this tow-truck calendar. Boy, did I have a good laugh, as did ALOT of people who've come by my cubical. HA - HA !! :) You guys got me, and here's the picture ....

![]() Proudly sporting this sticker till Summer 2019 ... which has since been removed. |
![]() I also have another one which reads: 'CAUTION: I swerve and Hit People At Random' & 'Don't Annoy The Crazy Person'. I alternated between them all for awhile. |

![]() I also came across an ad in the Buy & Sell one time and bought some dealer brochures for $25. I got the one for 72, 73, 74. I sold the 72 one to my friend Trevor and kept the 73 & 74, since I had a 73 & 74 at that time. (2000) |
![]() ![]() To this day, the collection of diecast Novas is still growing ... |
![]() Her grandparents have a little craft company they run out of their basement, and made mirror art of all kinds to sell at various Craft Sales & Flea Markets. This mirror is BEAUTIFUL !!, I love it... and a ONE of a kind piece of Art too. |
![]() Jen asked him if he could make a clock of my Nova. The clock was put together in time for Christmas in 2001. What an AWESOME gift, I LOVE IT!!.... VERY NICELY DONE!!!, another ONE of a kind piece of Art too, of my baby... |
![]() ![]() With the help and permission of Ben Meissner, she had the picture of PROJECT MEAN GREEN!, stitched into a jacket for me. This jacket is BEAUTIFUL!! Thank You Jen! & Ben! .... I'm afraid to wear this jacket when I'm out at a car show or out cruising, as it is just beautiful and I'm afraid to get it dirty or ruinning it. |
