Here's a shot I dug up of a guy's car that was in a Nova club I used to belong to. Nice ride.

I did one for a friend less than a year ago. It wasn't as involved as Notorious, but I thought it was doable. It basically included tucking the bumpers in way closer, then splitting them, adding a flange to bolt them back together after the bottom gets painted. I also added a tube grill, grafted a hood scoop, hand made spoiler and 67 Camaro tail lights. Hope you can get some ideas.

if this helps i had a 75 light blue metalic, tint, polished alum rims(centerline i think) i blacked out all lights and sunk the bumpers. It made one sharp nova. I have a new drawing for a black and silver one but not sure how to put it on here yet.

don't know if this will help but here is a model I built of a pt nova as well...might give you a good idea..

I had forgotten all about this era of novas...i'm looking for a budget car to build, this might be what I am looking for..

Cool model. Cheap and easy to find in half way decent shape for a real project. Doesn't it have a 2nd gen Camaro suspension? Lots of cool G parts available...

can anyone confirm if it does indeed use a camaro suspension ? i'm currently shopping for a 3rd or 4th gen nova. with all the parts available for the camaros the 4th gen nova will definetly be my pick if i can use g parts on it.

Prolly best to ask that in the suspension thread on the regular forum. 68-74 Novas have a 1st gen Camaro subframe and everything crosses over. In fact I found a 68 Firebird frame in the wrecking yard for my 73 Nova who had a previous owner off road incident and bent it pretty bad. In 75 with the new Nova body style they went to "front steer" like the 70+ Camaro. Everything in the front suspension was different from 74 and earlier. One can only assume that the smart GM thing to do was simply build the new Nova around the Camaro platform. You'll have to verify all that though.
