1967 Nova is On Track!!!

I have started my project again, and I have decided on a new route.

I know this is similar to Project Getaway but I have done almost all of the work. They had some awesome ideas though!!!

Chassisworks front clip- altered the ride height so the car sits 2.5" lower
Chassisworks canted 4-bar
Custom roll cage and sheetmetal
Turnkey Engines LS3
T56 6 speed
Luxury ID wheels and Nitto INVO tires-19x12 with 345/30R19
18x8 with 225/45R18

Some of these pics are hard to see. I am not sure why some of them are clear and some are not.

The next updates will be the stretching of the rear wheel openings (not sure how much I am going yet???) and the roll cage followed by the sheetmetal

You can see where the clip was raised in the car

Rear clip welded into place

This is where the rear clip was tied into the frame

Here is the car at ride height. The front rocker is 5" and the rear is 5.75." I will have a little room to play with the adjustability of the rear shock mounts.

Any suggestions on how much rake?

nice work...i like a 1" rake however...66-67's have funky wheel well openings so a 0- 3/4" would translate better.

I have to ask -- tell me about your frame table... I will be looking to build one at some point and just like to hear the reasoning behind how people built theirs and the pros/cons etc..

Thanks! My I-beam you can see on the frame table is 15inch. There are three, 8inch I-beam running perpindicular to the 15inch you can see in the pic. I had to build some braces to the top plate for strenght. Three pieces was not enough. Then it has a piece of 1/2" plate that covers the entire table.

The table needs to be as solid as possible where there is no deflection. The more braces in the center the better.

If i had to do it again, I would have the 15" on the bottom still, but put the 8" on top of the 15" every couple of feet. Then plate the top. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.

Jeremy,,Dude, You have gone this far with your skills don't be afraid to carry it past the point of no return,!! When I seen Eddie's car in super chevy I went to hunting a candidate, Sold my 66 Vette, paid off the house, and now I'mbuilding it at a snails pace,, "You Can Do It", cut it the way the General should have to begin with !!
