I lurk around on here alot but do not post much. You guys build some crazy stuff on here. Here are a few pics that did not make the article. I have another Nova a 71 SS me and my son are going to build it will be his first car. I am going to start a thread on it when we begin the build thread. Let me know what you guys think of my Nova.

I am making a few changes to the car over the winter, I am going to add AC and swap the drive set up on the blower over to the cog style.

I would never have thought the color on the wheels would look right..but it looks bada$$. Very nice car!

Are you going to change the body paint? I like the way it is so far. I appreciate what you did. Cheers!!!! :thumbsup:

what size wheel and tire combo are you using ?

I like it. Except the red wheels, :cheers: .

Congrats on the ink! :)

Congrats on the cover, that's awesome. I like the entire car including the red wheels :thumbsup:

Wheels are actually the same color Orange thats on the car, Some like it some don't. I have had mixed reviews on them. I like them cause the are different.

Wheels are actually 18x8 in the front and 18x10 in the rear..

Thanks for all the feed back guys!

Congrats, its a good feeling to be recognized!

Congrats! Very cool hot rod!! :thumbsup:

Maybe they're growing on me. At least they're different. :thumbsup:

What color orange is that? In some of the pics, it looks a redish to me.

I'm not a big Nova fan, but I like yours. Very nice.

The whole car is Chevrolet orange, the same color as the engine color not hugger orange. Its kind or hard to describe. More or less you could just say its Crayola Orange...The pics make it look darker than it actually is.

Congrats. :cheers: That car looks killer man!! Love it!:cheers:
You must be making some killer HP/TQ numbers with that engine.:yes:

Congrats on the magazine spread. I actually thought the car was red from the mag. pics. I like your pics alot better.:thumbsup:

sick nova man!
i really like what you did with the wheels, give it a modern copo twist.:thumbsup:

It's different with the wheels painted but I like it. It sets the car apart from the ordinary. I read the article a few days ago and you guys did a great job. Congrtas on the mag article.

Congrats, and kudos to you for having the brass balls to do something bold and different. Word! :thumbsup:

That's awesome--congrats on the coverage! I just checked your article out last night. Do you plan on using the Procharger bracket setup with the AC?

Man, that car is NICE!:cheers:

I've got a 70 Nova that I painted a wild color, and your car impresses the hell out of me. I love the wheel color matching the car itself. I bet that motor puts out crazy power. Have you dyno'd that motor?

We dynoed it twice. The last time we dynoed it it made 775hp and 750tq on 18psi, It should put out around 21 or 22 but I am having belt slip issues. That was on a Dyno Dynamics load bearing chassis dyno. The 8 rib serpentine setup will not support my power. I am going to have to go to a cog drive to see full boost. I tryed making a pull while we were on the power tour but the wore out belt i had on the car would not make over 10 to 12 psi.

Awesome Nova. I love the wheels, I'm used to seeing everything black centered with colored lips or lip stripes. Looks fantastic! :thumbsup:

Well the set-up looks great and aparently performs just as well. Great Build!

Congrats! Very cool Nova.

Read some of your stuff on LS1 Tech..Very cool to see another Nogo in a mag..Great way to come back from that nasty wreck you had..:thumbsup:

Congrats. I've had my asp handed too me many time by a Nova in high school. They always hooked up well.

I'll bet this car hands out a few spankings also!!

yeah I pretty much love that............but I'm a little biased too. great job.

Welcome, and congratulation's on the ink. Sweet ride!

Nice!:thumbsup: I like what you did to the wheels. D o you plan on doing brushed finish on grille and bumpers?

I have thought about powder coating the bumpers body color and doing all trim in that grey color thats on the wheels or flat black.

Nice project!! I have one like this!! regards

Good lookin' Nova for sure! Surprised nobody's asked, but what'd you do to fit the 18x10's out back?

Good job on the Nova!
