Default 72 Nova "Lost in translation"
Ok guys going to start my build thread again. Here is my 72 Chevy Nova had since I was 16. I grew up in EL Paso so "Lost in translation" seemed good since NOVA in Spanish means NO-GO. HA! So what I have so far is Speedtech GT handling package. LS-1, T56, Budnik wheels, MSD Atomic EFI system, and a RICKS tank. I am going to try and do as fab work I feel comfortable with so hopefully I can build a very nice car that I will be proud of. Enough of this, alright just want to get the ball rolling on this so here are some pics of the car.
