Roll Bar Install
 
3 Attachment(s)
The install took me about 30 hours. I worked alone and tried to work clean, (spent a lot of time with the vacuum). An extra set of hands and a car that wasn't shiny, or fully assembled would really speed up the process.

You did an excellent job, it came out great. I love the whole car.

The roll bar looks great! I too bought my roll bar from Wild Rides, can't wait to get it installed, the Nova is looking good.

Is this the final revision?

Thanks dude! the Wild Rides stuff is really nice. I am going to add SPC upper and lower control arms to get some more caster/camber and gain some clearance. Then it should be done.

Thanks! the door handles are from the Ring Brothers. The don't fit the Nova doors very well as shipped. You need to make a wedge shaped foam gasket so the handle appears flush. Also the push rods that come with them won't reach, I used some button head bolts instead

Thanks! I picked that hood up out east, not sure of the manufacturer but it was made overseas. A place called BMC Extreme Customs sells them now, but they are out of stock.The hood was gorgeous and great quality, just too narrow.

Awesome build and beautiful car! I'm building a 71' Nova and it's been in paint "prison" for 3 months past the promised date. It's also getting painted black👍

You have me thinking about a 69 Nova I could build with the parts cast off from my 73 Camaro project...
