I know they are Acadian, but what year(s)? Oh, and they will be in the "Pay it forward" section for the cost of shipping.

On the advice of my paint and body man, we are treating the underside of my 63 Acadian Beaumont SD with a product called "lizzard skin". Don't know a whole lot about it other than most of the rod guys around here are using it on the bottom side of the rods they are building. It looks kind of like...

I'm going out on a limb here, so tell me if this is not appropriate. There is an excellent thread on Steve's Nova Site about replacing floor pans. I'm not saying this because I posted some of my project in there either! A guy on there, who says he is a rookie at this, did his floor pans at home, and documented...

Is there a source for new turn signal lens in the bumper? If not, looking for a pair of good ones. My driver side must have melted or cracked and someone cut it out and inserted an 1-1/2" piece of a different color. Thanks

I figured out where the trim for the 64 Canso came from. Out of the left over bin from 62, 1962 Nova to be exact. A fellow member on Steve's pointed it out to me. After I had time to look closely, it does look like the exact molding just upside down and backwards.(But i guess the lengths would be different...

I always thought the Canso started in 62 but my 62 gm parts catalogue only list 2 series, invader and beaumont. After searching the net i've found many 63 canso's listed but no 62's. So if this correct the 62 line had 2 series. the 63 line had 3 series, invader, canso and beaumont. then in 64 they split th...
