Bud of mine had a '76 PONTIAC "Nova" 4 door. It has the 200 & some six cylinder & auto in it. He worked-And now owns-a company that rebuilds/services gravure printing presses. Their specialty was working on printing register devices, which is a black art. But Elmore was pretty smart on this stuff, he rigged a few of the register control motor up & made himself an impromptu bottle rocket launcher, mounted under the front bumper. Damthing actually worked pretty well for awhile. That "Nova" had had a hard life-His mom or dad, I can't remember had wrecked it in '77 or '78, & they cut the bad parts off, & mated another Nova up w/it. They kinda pushed the limit on how far you could "Revamp" a unibody car. Drank many a Co'Beer in that car, though..
