Thanks guys!

Here is the DSE mini tubs going in. They look awesome in. I'm pretty impressed with anything with the DSE stamp of approval.

Setting up the ring and pinion. It's a Ford 9". Strange aluminum center section, Detroit tru trac LSD, Richmond gear (3.70) and a chrome moly yoke.

Rear end sitting under the car.

295-35R18. I went with a standard width 54.5" rear axle housing. I didn't go with the 52.25" because I didn't want a bunch of rear lip. I kinda feel that the real deep lips look more pro street than pro touring. Not sure sure if too many people will agree, but that's my thought.

Cool project cant wait to see more of it.

Stock sub frame finally removed. I did some sanding and new seam sealer. I used aircraft stripper on the vin tag to remove the layers of paint. It looks new now and can easily be read.

Granada Gold was the original color. Surprise to me until I removed the fenders. I had never ran the vin to that point. The VIN checks out.

This was the only surprise I found on the whole car. Someone must have got out the blue tip wrench and made some access holes to pull the transmission. No problem. I filled the upper ones and the bottom ones went away with the stock tunnel.

Looks great!! I really love the 66-67 Novas!!

GregWeld 07-20-2014 08:38 PM

One of my favorite cars.. I just love the 66/67 Novas.



Are you trying to save the paint? We did this on my brother in laws Camaro -- and went out of our way to save the paint -- then ended up painting the whole thing anyway. LOL

Going to be a nice little ride thats for sure!
