I have been told that there is a company making full body METAL shells of 66-67 chevy 2's. Does anybody know who these people are and how I can get ahold of them?

Check with Year One.I believe they sell them.

I don't think so yet. I would bet they confused them with the Promax Nova.

Promax? Who are they and how can I see what they have?

I can't seem to find a '66 Nova nova no post. I am looking at a '66 post but I was wondering if the post can be cut out. I would imagine that the rear(and maybe the front)windows will need to be replaced and maybe even the regulators. Can this be done?

There are a lot of differences between a post car and a hardtop, not the least of which is the post. The front and rear glass are way steeper and the roof is taller as a result. It would look goofy and out of proportion as well as being a lot of work. Now if you laid the windshield back about 6-8 inches and lopped off the rest of the top, you'd have a sweet Nova Speedster.
Just let me know if you need it drawn up!

been there, done it, scrapped it, it sounds cool in theory, and i had a 66 parts car with a monster moon roof installed, and thought about a carson style removable hard top on a speedster nova would be super trick, problem was the car just plain looks "goofy" without the lid.

however the raked and chopped windsheild just might make it work...... if you draw it, they will build it

Thanks Bud. Trust me, that windshield angle will make or break it. Then clean up that open package tray area and you've got a winner. I've got the pens if you got the cut off wheels! I even do full scale blow ups to hang on the wall and measure from while you're working!

Any way I can see it on paper?
