'72 Nova Build list
 

Hey everyone, my name is brandon and i come from pro-touring.com. Just doing some looking around, and getting some info for my build.

Long and short, bought a fully restored 72 nova, has a new 350 crate motor and t350 trans, all OE sheetmetal car, just a real good solid car top start with.

So Far i have installed the DSE Coilover conversion on the front end, DSE front sway bar. Tubular upper and lowers. DSE 3" Drop leafs out back, upgraded delrin bushings and Koni Rear Shocks.

Competition Engin' Frame connectors
Hotchkis rear sway bar
Waiting for my 6 piston Wilwood dynalites, and 4 piston Rears, drilled and slotted, billet master from prodigy customs.

Dynomatted interior
Magnaflow 3" exhaust off long tubes.
Ordering Bonspeed malibu's once brakes are on so i cna measure for fitment.

Pretty much just wanted to get the brakes and chassis where I want them for this year. After that, this summer Im going to pick up a ls2 and t56 and swap that out next winter with a Head and cam package.

Ill update the build as i go!

Onto the pics

Nice, I have simular mods waiting to go on my Nova. :thumbsup:

What a great lookin Nova. I love these kind of builds. Please keep us posted with all of the modifications.

Very nice looking car. :thumbsup:

did you do them all in one go.. or little by little.. and what yielded the biggest difference?

cool car btw

I have done it all at once. So i cant really say how much of a difference it made. Only thing i did and drove on was the DSE front setup, at factory ride height. It was definetly VERY tight, but rode better then the urethane and new coil springs the previous owner had in.

Yes, more Novas!

Great looking project, and make sure to post some pictures when you get the wheels on. It is going to look sweet.
I dig the color with the black vinyl top.

Yah i wasnt to hot for the vinyl top, defeintly does not lend to the Pro touring feel..but I'll probably be the only vinyl top nova spinning laps around the road course

Cool car! I say keep the top, it looks good there. Nice mods to the car as well. The engine and trans upgrade will be great! Keep posting updates.
:cheers:

Im leaving the crate motor in there this summer, but i really hated the chrome covers, so i bought these and my frame connectors.
