Keep it that color with the side mouldings! Giving me some motivation to work on my nova! Looks killer with the prostars. What size rear tires?

thanks guys! i will definitely lose the air cleaner! thanks for the heads up 
I'm going to keep it the original color, i looked at the color code and its autumn gold. the rear tires are mickey thompson ET streets they are 275 60 15's with a tiny spacer to bump them out a little bit. the backspacing is 5.5 on the back. I'm still unsure of the molding but i kind of like it.

Yes, key was on the dash.
I'd trade that any day of the week for the ability to get a good custom gauge cluster and fit a 5" speedo and tach.

That's true. I forgot about that. I always wanted to do a custom gauge set up but didn't want to spend the money lol

WBT: Hey, I hear you guys make custom gauge panels?
Vendor: Yeah, for all 68-74 GM Muscle cars and Corvettes.
WBT: Awesome. What's your pricing on a speedo/tach/4 gauge setup for a '68 Nova SS?
Vendor: We don't make panels for that car.
WBT:
I think Covan's does now though, but they probably fit like **** seeing as how John Covan bailed on his own business.
