Sean installed this hand build custom cage in the 67 nova for @the67novabuild once it’s all done the only part of the cage that will be seen will be in the headliner area. The reason for removing the roof is to weld out the tops of the tubes that are not accessible. Everything else will be wrapped in sheet metal and tucked away. @seanandhistruck #sylvesterscustoms #metalwork #fabrication #rollcage #carrestoration taken in Sylvester’s Customs by @sylvesterscustoms

When "good enough" isn't in your shop's vocabulary.

Travis Sylvester talks about stripping a full tube chassis back to bare metal and eating the cost to get it right... The kind of decision most shops wouldn't make.

Every shop owner who started building cars on the side eventually hits this wall.

Travis Sylvester has been through it... Late nights either way, but the game changes completely once the shop is all on you.

This 67 Nova is moving along nicely. Sean knocked out the headers and next the roll cage will start being constructed so everything stays nice and strong with that big power plant from @moruzzi_race_motors #nova #67nova #sylvesterscustoms taken in Sylvester’s Customs by @sylvesterscustoms
