Fesler Built 1970 NOVA SS Project Build
 
OK so the 1970 Chevy NOVA is starting to be a popular car so I thougth I would share one of our latest builds. We are building this car for everyday driving and some track time so its mild but will sit very cool.

I will post pics of the build as we go but here are some of the products we are using

GM Performance LS7 engine
GM Perfromance 4L65E tranny
Chris Alston's Chassie works full sub frame set up
Currie 9-inch rear end
Wilwood 6 Piston brakes
Air Ride Technologies air system
Fesler Billet Hood Hinges
Fesler Billet Tail Lights
Fesler Billet aluminum washer kit
Fesler FS 905 wheels 19X9.5 front & 19X12 rear
Michelin 285/35ZR19s front & 345/30ZR19 rear

Still deciding on other parts, I will try to update as we move along.

OK so we tear the car down to nothing and send it out to be meda blasted and sealed so it cant rust while we do the work on it.

Cut out any rust and remove the frame rails as we are going to build a custom tubs

Looks like another nice project you guys have going together.

You have mentioned your Bolt kits numerous times but I can't find any pics on your site. Do you have any pics. Interested in the style and material. Are they alum or stainless?

chrismoe 08-10-2008 07:17 PM

Awsome
 
Chris,

Looks like another top-notch build. Keep us posted.

They are aluminum and they are on our store. I will post them up on the web as well. But if you look at the Black 69 "Draco" you can see it all over the engine bay.
