We had to move the sway bar and radiator up a little to make room for the blower elbow but it all fits snug as a bug in a rug! :D

Gauge pod looks awsome!!!!!:wow:

Very nice! This is an amazing build! You could go through the whole thread about 4 times and still not see everything! Great job!

Well it will be in Pleasanton this weekend in the CHASSISWORKS booth if you would like to inspect further. Then it will be in Del Mar the following weekend as we are having our own booth down there.

Look forward to meeting more lat-g folks, Did you sell you C10 project? that truck was cool.

Rodger

Looks sweet. :thumbsup:

If I can get last minute insurance on my car, Ill be there, and I will check that out. Looks killer.

I wasn't able to sell it yet. Its one of things, out of sight out of mind, its been sitting at a friends house in socal for almost a year now while I have his truck doing work to it.

I would love to come to pleasanton but a stupid lady ran a red light the other night and whiped out the front end of my car so now I have to fix that this weekend. I'll have a friend take pictures of it! Great build, I love it! My first car was a '67 Chevy II that I still have.

Pictures don't do John's car justice - you really do need to see them in person to appreciate the work that went into it. I was fortunate to have been able to see the gauge pod come together while I was down there. Excellent work - Rodger has a great crew working in the shop and their craftsmanship shows.

The car is amazing. It was great to see it in person at the Goodguys show.

Can never get enough of looking at this build..Awesome work guys:hail:

Here is a quick walk around of John's car at the Del mar GG show

It looks great ....So close to being done...but so far .
Looks like another 1000 hrs to finish...LOL

LOVE the car BUD!!!!!

Thanks Guys, the video is pretty cool, for even a guy like me that sees this beast everyday. The 66 is coming along nicely, There is still a long way to go, but a project of this magnitude can seem like a never ending deal if you keep up the level that has been maintained so far..... SOMEDAY...

Rodger

what are the boxes bolted to each side of the rear tubs in the trunk?

Those are John's 'fuse boxes/wiring system' boxes by Isis....... Really fancy stuff! John will explain.


--Eric

It is for the ISIS power system. It is pretty high tech stuff. It is basically the controller for the main body harness for the car.

Just search for ISIS power system. It does some really cool things.

WOW!!!:wow:

The filler neck that AirRide sent me that they're making worked out PERFECT!!! It feels so nice when it's in your hands and is really a quality piece!!! The neck extension is perfect for whatever you want to do and worked out great for us!!!

John

Insane build, obviously ;) Great detail

Is that dimpled trunk piece easy to remove?

That's got to be the worlds biggest cheese greater.:lolhit:

Looks crazy Roger.

Just unbolt the fuel cap bolts and the 4 perimeter bolts and she comes right out. It sure gives it that different look. We have few more ideas coming along with it but you guys probably get the point.

Rodger

Wholly nova :omg:

:hail: sooooo nice! Building that car is a dream come true for any tool guy.... with tools.

Mine proof show car with an oven on the trunck? :lol: JK

Actually we're going to wrap the gas tank with a cooling blanket for a colder charge into the engine.....

We figured while it was cold back there we could fit some Coors beers with the "blue mountain" indicators in the holes and keep them cool at the same time when we're on the power tour....

Not really....:lol:

John

Just like your screen name say's. You are a Novanutcase !!!! Awesome!!

It's great to have people like you for customers I have few my self. It enables people like Roger and I to release are artistic abilities and bang out some metal and alittle tube bendding.

Mark

John,

Looking great. It's come a long way. I think Rodger paid for the dimpling dies on your car alone. :rofl: See you in Columbus.

Later,

It was pretty easy, We waterjet the panel, or I would have used up like 10 hole saws. Then Brycen and I dimple died the whole panel in like 45 minutes on an air over hydraulic press. Nothing too difficult.

This has got to be one of my favorite projects on here, looks sick man! :thumbsup:

You do realize this is just a nova, and not a camaro? You could get kicked off the site for comments like this.....

FYI, Johns Nova will be in Columbus this summer in the OPTIMA BATTERIES booth. FYI

What the heck are you talking about!!???!!.... "just" a Nova......... geez!


--Eric

That's coming from the guy with a Pickup, a few steps down from even a Nova. Let alone a "CAMARO".

Love the false floor -

reminded me of this...

Hey now, us pick-up guys have to stand up! Of course is it really a pick up without a bed floor? Things that make you go Hmmmmmmm! I say it's one of the baddest pick-ups there is.:cool:

Later,

:rofl:
Sorry, I'll keep to myself :cheers:

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread - but what kind of car is this anyways TJ? Looks killer!

Its a highly modified Shadow '27. It was at SEMA two years ago.


--Eric

At Columbus last year....

Eak !!! I have a pick & a Camaro :unibrow:

Jon,
I will say so far its art in progress. First time I was able to see it in person this weekend.

Ditto, great talking this weekend. Hope you made it home with no excitement.

Christmas came early this year!!!
 

I want to thank Tyler Beauregard and Anvilauto for setting up the project with this and the hood piece that's coming! I can't WAIT to see that! In fact, I can't wait to see them both on the car!!

Thanks Again Anvil!
