This is going to be one bad ass Nova! Great fab work so far.
Are you mid mounting the engine? I wasn't sure on that answer!
Also on post #16 that red flared Mustang is my buddy Filip who owns Cortex Racing. My engine builder did the LS7 in it

It sports a new paint job (still red) but it is truly beeeeeautiful now with steel flares.
