On The Ground...........
 

My Nova had been on the frame table for a while for all the frame and sheet metal fabrication...... Rodger recently took it off the table and now its on the ground!

Here are a few recent pics of the Nova:

Can't wait to see this little Nova done Eric!! The rear spoiler looks awesome :thumbsup:

Lookin good. You going to make Columbus? :unibrow:

Nice!

Always was one of my favorite body styles. And the top going down makes it even better. Nice spoiler. Very subtle and tasteful. :hail:

Looking good so far Eric!:thumbsup:

Hey guys, you know how sometimes there's a certain thread that has several pages and is a very interesting one at that and you wonder how in the hell you missed it? :wow: Well, this is that thread. I guess I've been overlooking it and don't see how. This is one sick build. :hail: Which I wouldn't expect anything less from Ironworks. This is an insane Nova!!! Subscribing now. Late, but subscribing. LOL!!:lol:

I must be a slow day for camaro stuff that you would actually look at nova stuff. :D :D

Easy now.......


--Eric

Just be glad you don't have a mustang.....

.....ouch.


--Eric

Just hurry up and finish the D-I-Y 72 Chevelle frames and ship my shop guy one so I can be one of the test fitters. LOL!!!!:woot:

I thought this was a camaro forum! Boy it most be a slow day after all.





Kidding aside, car is looking good ERIC

The car looks great I like the back end. Very nice work.

Where are the updates?

Eric has been kind enough and busy enough at work to allow us to work on some of the other pressing projects we have going on. Things are busier in the the shop then they might have ever been in the past. I have hired some new guys in the past few months and I'm working to get them up to speed. I have some guy from Northern California and another from North Carolina that are looking to try out for a job here, we shall see how these new guys work out.

I do have a few pics to post! Hopefully I can post them tonight.


--Eric

I have heard those word before, right before you get side tracked and your post sink 4 pages down. HAHAHA

Hay aren't you supposed to be working on a chassis? I have never fired a volunteer before but I will do it......:D

I heard the car was already finished and out cruzing the PCH. Better get those pics up here soon !

;)

Catch you guys at Columbus for a long over due beer and BBQ !!

Jim

No.... the car is not done..... too many other "projects" to work on.

Looking forward to seeing you in Columbus (.... and I still owe you some brackets!)!!!


--Eric

What an amazing build. Thanks for sharing.

Love the pictures.

can't wait to see the control arms:D ,I know another guy that could use a set,signed top secret/inNOVAtion

Thanks! I'm having a blast with this project.

You must be thrilled with the progress on your project as well!!!!!

Hey, Darrell. I need to get back on the control arm designs. I have been totally swamped with other (little) projects...... like a Tri-Five chassis, and a Chevelle chassis, and........ the rest is a secret.


--Eric

Any new updates?

YOU'VE BEEN BUSY...... asking for all these updates!!

I will be posting an update soon. We had the top on for the first time in a few years. Stay tuned.

Next week: SEMA!


--Eric

LOL!! Winters coming and I'm just looking for some inspiration. My Novas been in storage too long and I've got the itch to do something with it.

that nova has came along very cool, will we see any ironworks projects at sema?:thumbsup:

Is this still on hold?

Thanks for asking..... There is some slow progress. I'll post more soon.


--Eric

You know you've been driving it for months! Always keeping secrets! :_paranoid

I WISH!!!!!!!!!!

Just been doing some research on tranaxles and come accross your car.I was blown away with the the detail of your project.
Iam an engineering student from Perth, Western Australia.
Iam learning solid works (2010) and was looking for some models of transaxles so I could do some design work to fit one to my 1957 Holden Panel van as a solidworks project for uni.
If you have some models of the rear end that I could go over and look at in detail to give me some ideas on how to mount that would be very helpful. Size and dementions of the transaxle.
Hopefully once I finsh uni (2 years ) I can start to build it
cheers

You have to be a member of SEMA to get the files. When you get the files from SEMA they mandate that you don't share the files. Sorry I'm of no help. But Maybe SEMA can help.

Tim,

Rodger (Ironworks) located a transaxle, transmission, and a torque tube for me early on in the build, so I could actually take measurements from the components.


--Eric

Is there any updates for this car? it's been almost 2 years without an update....????

There has been some recent progress. Ironworks is finishing up the front and rear control arms. Once these are done, and I borrow some shop wheels and tires (rumor has it there are some Intros available), I could put the car on the ground. Its been awhile since rubber touched the ground.

I have a couple of weddings to get through this year (Kids!).


--Eric

Yeah !!!!! Congrats Dad !

Maybe finish it and let them drive it from the church dragging tin cans !

The best man would love driving it for them too !!

:lol:

Jim

AWESOME! I love INTROS!


:D

They're going to look great on the toterhome! :D

Any updates?

No updates right now....... Hopefully soon though.
