Speaking of the hood, wasn't that in a magazine or somewhere on how they fabricated it? I seem to think I saw it somewhere else before. Nice Nova BTW. :thumbsup:

Welcome aboard. Awesome project. :cheers:

Wow Awesome Project. I looked at all 81 pics last night. I can't wait to see more.
|
Great looking Nova and I really like the hood. :thumbsup:
|
Thanks for all the positive feedback! As you know it helps with keeping the process moving forward.
Like to see all the Nova builds/supporters comming out of the wood work! Street3285, can't wait to see more photos of how yours turns out. I wrestled with what subframe to go with. I noticed Fesler posted on how to stuff in 335's, whish I would have seen that a bit earlier. More photos added to PhotoBucket of subframe connectors, and more hood build photos. Yes, hood build was in Chevy Rumble Mag. Boost piping, inner coolers, core support photos to come! |

Yeah, 335's would have been nice, but the 305's still look good. |
Good looking build, :cool:
|
Very nice. :thumbsup:
I remember seeing this awhile back, maybe it was on pt.com . |
Great looking Nova.

That's a lot of work for subframe connectors. Gotta be the nicest I think I've ever seen.

Here's my idea of a good night...
BJ auction on Speed HD.... and a Photobucket slide show of this build on the Mac on my lap... I L O V E the intake on this! And the Rushforth hood design... Killer - just killer! :thumbsup: |
You should make those intakes for resale. Looks great!

Sorry it's been a while. Updates are a bit hard when you mix in SEMA...the inspiration show!
Here are the lower four link mounts to handle the ~800hp. Quadra Link lower arms from DSE, mounts replace the factory front leaf spring mounts. Attachment 20983 Attachment 20984 Photos are a tease, all others are on Photobook due to size limitations. http://s479.photobucket.com/albums/r...isat/?newest=1 Inner coolers on the way. This will start the piping and cooling up front. Should be fun! :_paranoid |
Nice build, very well done, nice and subtle. Rocker height at ride height?
