Very neat ....I love the longroofs .. I have 65 chevelle 2dr wagon myself, has a bumper to bumper chassiworks eliminator chassi with a 4-link, fab-9, and aftermarket front suspension with rack and pinion. I also have a 66 chevyII wagon converted to 2-door with long 2-door sedan doors on it.

Any plans for the interior or exterior yet ....?

Thanks for comments!

Got the body back on the frame over the weekend, need to set the engine/trans in next and start building mounts, crossmembers and x-members in frame. Hopefully have that done by the weekend, or at least close!

I think I have seen your nova wagon before, nice cars!!

I am going to shave the drip rails, fill the cowl louvers, remove door handles, trim/emblems, I countersunk the tail lights, putting a 67 nova rear bumper on it, move the gas fill. And am planning on painting it brown... yes... brown lol.

Engine mocked up, I made 3 different style adapter plates, the set in the pic is what I went with. And than my buddy made up some frame mounts for me. Also bolted up the accessory drive system from Black Mountain Precision.

Hey Gary, nice project. Looks like we're almost neighbors...Davison area here.
Who's headers are you using? I just picked up a very solid 65 HT to do a LS swap in. Been shopping for headers that have good clearance as I want a pretty low ride height too.
Thanks, we'll have to meet up someday!

Well been cutting up the nova dash some more and made the panels and have it fit pretty good now, got the vintage air unit mounted, havent finished the dash yet cuz I have some more stuff to do under it, make mounts for the coils and fuse panel, etc.

Also finished up my tail lights today, turned out nice, I love em flush, nobody will probably ever notice LOL!

I stuck a set of 17x8 smoothies I had on my daily driver on it to get an idea of fitment.

Anyways, time for some pics!

Here are all the different engine adapter plates I made, I went with the one all the way on the left, then my buddy (SteveMarsa on here) made some mount for the chassis, placed them right in the middle of the front crossmember.
