1963 Nova Surf Rod

This may be a 1963 Nova Surf Rod owned by Dennis Marshall and Jonna Marshall in Xenia,OH.

I bought the automobile at a swap meet back in Might of 201one, whereas looking I was told that the automobile had been sitting in a old barn for the past 12 years. I ended buying the automotive because I loved the wagon look and thought it would be neat to try to to a wagon in the rat rod vogue.

Once I started tearing into the automotive I had to put in all of the new floor pans. The Nova was originally a 3 speed on the column however I moved it and bought a replacement Mr.Gasket floor shifter. The founded is now 3 on the ground! The motor powering the Nova is the first factory 194 Inline half-dozen that has been overhauled.

When I initial got the wagon there was hardly any interior left in within! Since then I have had all of the seats re-padded and recovered. I am still working on some things in the interior like the door panels and obtaining the carpet but I am getting to them slowly however surely.

For paint I invariably wished to try and do a flat paint job on the automobile to grant the automotive that rat rod look. What I did was use Hot Rod Flats-Aqua with a white shiny high.The automobile was painted by my father Gary Stollings. The wheels are sandblasted and painted to match that automobile. The Nova has thirteen inch tires that are wide white walls.I needed to administer the car a unique surf rod look, so I found a surfboard to set it off,(that I would possibly add surfboards are terribly arduous to find in Ohio).

The Nova has been lowered 3 inches and every one the chrome has been powder coated to a chrome end. All the work has been done by my father Gary Stollings, my son Ty Marshall and myself.  This has been one of many cars i've got restored/engineered. There’s nothing sort of a previous Hot Rod!!!!
