now that is pretty awesome, has the front fender pushed out like I was mentioning. I am not a fan of the latest, really choppy rear shaping on the cars - I am sure the aero is important but at the same time, loses a little form for the sake of function. You are killing me Payton - I really want the Nova to look like a sleeper and have stock body form but now I am starting to think I should pull the fenders out front and rear :D Running the exhaust down behind the rockers and dumping out like a sidepipe would be fricken cool tho'

Payton,
Can't wait for this car to make some progress. Very cool.

I have been out on Spring Break with my kids
 
Will get frame photos posted up soon.

There will be a lot of mock up before I settle on any body mods, those renderings were just giving me idea. Tim, it would be tough not to have a wide body something after the 914.

Next time, I had more than $20 dollars and I was poppin' tags.

Lots of used NASCAR and circle track re-sellers in the area. He is just one of many. Next time I go up to Roush /Yates I will get some photos. Imagine a Home Depot, but with race parts filling the shelves. Motors on pallets stack in the shelves, entire car on one isle. It is crazy.

As soon as I figure out how to do the questions in quotes it will be easier to answer specific questions. Before I started the build, I was going to get a Howe road race front clip and run the 5x5 hubs and all the circle stuff.

Tough to be creative with a name for a project when I am not creative enough to do something other than a Camaro. It is a little goofy to name you car or project anyway, but how else do you keep your seperate from the others? "I am the guy doing the 1st gen Camaro on the site." Yea, that narrows me down to about 1000 projects. LOL

Somebody asked about NASCAR brakes. Kind of...using an AP calliper used in circle track with a lug mount on a floater with a Grand National hub in the rear. I will post up some pics later on that one.

The yellow car was on the Cover of Camaro Performers and had an 8 page spread. April of 2009 (Thank you Mr. Rupp!)

As far as paint, you may be looking at it. Going to replace the roof so it will be in primer, may leave the rest of the car as is until I get it sorted. It will be a wide body, but may cut out the fenders and quarter dirt track style for a season.

This is my inspiration photo/drawing

Is it a Swedish flag on the car?

Best regards from Sweden... :-)

Yes it is a swiss flag.
 
The guy that did the drawing is from there I believe. I think his name is Zonder?
