Starting another 65' Nova project

I will be building this one with my 11 year old son helping me out and teaching him some of my skills and away around the car. We had a few ideas in our heads and decided to get a rendering done. Ride height will be about 3.5" even.


We will be using a supercharged Ls2 for now.- things could change-
Roadstershop Fast Track IRS chassis
Recaro seats
RideTech triple adjustable shocks
Brakes- undecided yet-
Full cage
Paddle shifted 4l80e
Holley Dominator EFI
Infinity Box wiring
Wheels- Rushforth Rated X's for now-
18"x10"in front and 18"x12" rear

Body mods will be front and rear spoiler/ splitter
Remove vent windows
Flush mount front and back windows
Shave and smooth things as they come up.

Donner car
 

Picked up the doner car last December

Nice project ! Looks like you know what you are doing.

Glad to see you back on the horse! Was there much salvageable from the wreck?

The engine was saved seats, 1/2 of the electronics and 2 rims.

Glad to be building another one I glad I have a solid foundation that lets me do what I enjoy!

Wow, I would have thought more was usable. Glad you're doing well and I can't wait to see what's in store for 2.0!

Glad to see you doing another one, and glad you were alright after that ride.

I love the rendering. Subscribed !

It's an awesome build.

Excellent choice on all your components.

Seems like you have everything planned out.

Some awesome work your doing over there Tim and the biggest reward is doing it with your son👍. My kids are 5 and 2 , five year old wants to paint my car blue with flames on it. Told him I would think about it.

Nothing wrong with Flames, My daughter(when she was 4) wanted to put rainbows and trees on mine. lol Kids such dreamers.

Setting up to measure for driveshaft. Then headers should be here next week to start on the exhaust.

Not bad on weight either around 68 lbs!

IRS Pinion angle
 

Ok guys, Im trying to figure out what the pinion angle should be with my IRS... any thoughts??

The rain is making me a useless link dumper today. Try the following link for IRS baselines: http://fulltiltboogieracing.com/pinionangle.htm.

On a side note, do you know what the thickness of metal is in those frame rails you have? All I can imagine when looking at them is the process of making them, piece by piece by piece . . .

a cool video of them cutting out some rails I think? Not sure on the size on the thickness I can measure tonight.

Thanks for the link!

3d Drawing of Roadster Shop 1965 Nova Chassis
 

Trying something new. Thought I would try making a scale 3D model of my chassis to help laying things out, plumbing wise. The floor and roll cage is next!

That's a handy tool.

Awesome work and idea on plumbing 👍
