T,

Awesome build man. Love 66 Nova's and regret not buying one after looking at yours. Great car brother. I live in Highlands if you ever want to get together or roll with us on the power tour.

One wicked ass ride Tom! You've definitely raised the bar.
You will definitely surprise some folks :waveflag:

Thanks. I'll be at Royal Purple for the one day HRPT event on June 12th. If you get out that way, PM me and I'll give you my cell number.

Here are the pictures of the reason I did the mini tub....

Rims are 18 x 10 with a 7" backspace. Tires are Sumitomo 295 x 30 x 18. Could have probably done a 35 or 40 AR.....maybe will do that after these wear out...

There is about 1.25 fingers width between the tire and fender lip...

On the way to Discount....

The new tires and wheels look just right.

Stealth from the side and meaty from the rear.

NO they complement it, and I know I'm an Ares man!!

Very Nice Tom.

Like you, I am officially spoiled......It is totally a different car. Even having driven other LS3 powered cars, this one is an animal. The power is instantaneous and the torque literally plants you in the seat even through the 2-3 shift.........me thinks I need more car......LOL

I will really have to watch this thing, it can certainly get away from me with the blink of an eye.....

Would I go supercharged again....yes..
Was it worth the hassle trying to fit everything under the hood of this little Nova....yes..
Would I pick a bigger car next time....yes......probably a 3rd gen Nova......
