I Now Pronounce You...
Danny & Christina Simala, of Riverside, California submitted this great photo of their 1973 Chevy Nova. The car is powered by a 408 small-block, 1000 CFM holly HP with a 350 Turbo tranny, 5000 stall converter, 175 shot of N2O (nitrous oxide) and 8.5 10-bolt rear end with 4:10 gears. The Nova runs a 6.35 @ 106.7 mph in the 1/8 mile with a 1.36 60 foot. 100% hand-built (and painted, too!) by Danny Simala.Originally, this was Christina's car. She purchased it in 1995 and was her first car. She drove the Nova until it died in 2002, the year she met her now husband, Danny, whose passion and hobby is drag racing and fixing up old muscle cars. Christina tells us, "This car is now only what I Dreamed it would be. It's my — and my husband's — pride & joy, and that's why she just had to be part of our wedding."
Bill Long of Peyton, Colorado, sent us this great black & white photo of his three collector cars. His wife's restored 1966 Pontiac GTO, a 1956 Olds 88, and his 1936 Chevy Master Deluxe, the last two wait for warmer weather when the Olds will be restored and the '36 Chevy will become a hot rod with shaved door handles, maybe an airbag and who knows what else. The possibilites are endless.

Raymond Mears of Birmingham, Alabama, sent photos of his 1965 (or thereabouts) Chevy Chevelle hardtop-to-convertible project car.
Reymond writes, "My trade school teacher sent me to work with his teacher, and former employer. I knew he was good but this is the most dramatic example of his ability I have seen. He can literally build a car from scraps. This is only about a week's work."
Above: a picture of the Chevelle as it currently sits after the top (sitting in the background) was chopped off.Margaret Slaugh found this 1950s old International step-side in an oilfield outside of Rangely, Colorado, and it is obvious the truck needs restoration. Margaret asks, "Any takers?"
