All i can do is drool looks amazing.

Ron in SoCal 02-11-2011 08:20 AM

Blake - you know I dig your Nova in a stalker-ish sorta way. The rear seat delete is prob the nicest version I've seen.

I'll be snappin' more pics at RTTC.....:thumbsup:

Blake Foster 02-11-2011 10:48 AM

Thanks Ron

see you at RTTC

Any details on having the subframe mount up sans body mounts? Were the front/rear subframe mounts the same thickness, and rad support mounts modified? Any pics in progress? I never thought of doing this but want to now after seeing it on yours. Any chance I could come by and see this beauty in person, is it at the SpeedTech showroom?

Cheers,
Joe

I LOVE the Nova! I thought the WC3 Forgeline only came in a step lip design.

How severe were the modifications to the trans and driveshaft tunnel? Were both just cut out right at the floorpan level and fabricated new/higher for the higher motor/trans/driveshaft?

LowchevyII 02-12-2011 12:43 PM

thanks blake! im love with the nova. getting a lot of good ideas from mine. I really like teh back seat matching the front and love the pattern. didnt realize they matched teh front omp seats. I also really like the way you mounted your amps. if you ever come up with more photos on the interor i would love to see them and any you have of the stereo. :thumbsup:

Thanks!

Edit: Nevermind :) This answers my question...

this should tell the story. i ended up cutting it out all the way to the trunk and lifted it up about 4 "

tones2SS 02-13-2011 08:47 AM

facu.ss 02-15-2011 01:00 PM

more pics please !!! these nova makes me crazy !!!

70Nova SS 02-20-2011 05:57 AM

Anybody have any pics of the underside. I believe it has a torque arm setup but haven't seen it yet. Bumpers and fog lights make a big difference, got some new ideas for my body work. Looks great like it should've come that way... :thumbsup: .....:cheers:
