Pretty simple actually. The front is stock with the addition of air-bags, in the rear i de-arched the mono leaf springs and added solid aluminum 2'' lowering blocks and simple Monroe gas-matic shocks. No rubbing issues in the rear, even when the rearend articulates. I have 18x8 torg-thrust's with a 5.25 back space. No mods to the wheel wells or fender lips.

Oddly enough, i found it on e-bay. Company stated they only made a few of them (10). They were on the eastcoast but cant remember the name. Cerious performance did all the other custom carbon fiber pieces and they said they could reproduce and part ...for a price:( For example, i paid 450.00 for the custom tail panel piece... but its gorgeous.

YENKO/SS 01-04-2009 04:15 PM

98ssnova, if i come across the company, i'll fire you off a message.

tones2SS 01-04-2009 05:39 PM

Nice car Yenko!!!:thumbsup:
Nice stance. What engine are you running?

YENKO/SS 01-04-2009 08:52 PM

Its a 383 Stroker. Got it from a guy that had it built to run on the track. He had some $$$ problems so i grapped it. Its a little over-kill on the street but i made a few changes. It had a high rise Victor II with a 850 Holley. I put a dual plane Air-Gap with a 600 Elelbrock and it seems to work alot better.

Wow! Thats high praise. Look, im not gonna b.s. ya, I own 3 Novas. A 70,71,and 72 so im partial to this body style but the 66 & 67 Chevy II's are still top dog in worth and popularity.
That being said, the third generation bodystyle is gaining momentum and is a perfect car for the '' pro-touring" builder. They are still plentiful and affordable.

Did you ever find the name of the company that did the hood? I am looking for the l-88 hood for a 71 chevelle. I currently have a steel/fiberglass but want a c/f

Thanks
