Stop by my Buddies bar Fugs. He just finished remodeling it. Was there last weekend and the inside looks nice. Right across from Legends.

He was partners on it. Covid hit partners went another direction and he took over running it instead of being more of a silent partner. He redid a lot of the inside to make it how he wanted it. Him and His Wife have busted there ass lately on it. Lots of beers on tap 30 or so. I tried a bunch of samples. His Wife which I am good friends with also was making some bomb snacks to munch on.

Stopped in last weekend for the first time in a couple years, definitely big change inside. While there the owner and wife came in from wine tasting in Kingman and started opening bottles of wine to sample. Seemed like good people, and definitely one of the best beer and wine selections in the city.

We had a real good time, was glad I finally remembered to ask about Thursday nights. We walked the strand and enjoyed seeing a lot of amazing looking cars. I need to win the lotto!

I am going to tow my Nova over when its done for this. Who has the info on the Havasu 95 car shows? Racetrack web site mentions nothing ever and i cant seem to find any info on schedule. Maybe someday we can get event schedules on here since we got rid of that damn Schiada section🤦🏻‍♂️

I am used to the beach prices here that are a lot more. $7 a 805 at my favorite spot here in Redondo. GF drinks are like $14. My Friend that drove us up from Parker covered the tab so I didn't see how much prices were.

Little 350 / T400 right now. I think it used to be a blower motor...

Kicking around an LS maybe down the road, or a built SBC / BBC. Can’t fit any more tire under it to have crazy power like yours. Lol. Overall is a great cruiser and start to build on.

It is very nice. It’s amazing how much traction you can get with a 10in tire these days. 15x8 with 5” bs and you can fit a 28 10.00 drag radial

It’s got 295/50/15... and it rubs if I eat too much. Lol.

It’ll get CalTrac leafs/bars/shocks some day too. I’m stoked!

LOVE this look!! Not sure I want to pay the cash to have it mini tubbed. Some day I’ll have a back halved car though. Hehe

That looks sick. You can get all the traction you need with a stickier tire in the factory tubs. Would also look really good with a set of 17"s.

LS swap would be simple.

Have always liked the clean lines of the 69 Nova. In high school a buddy had a black one with a built 427 in it. Whhooeee was that fast!

Is your car a super dark green? Looks awesome.

Was under one of his other hot rods, overfilled the power steering pump on this one and he didn’t want his driveway violated.
