Default 65 Chevy II







Starting another 65' Nova project

I will be building this one with my 11 year old son helping me out and teaching him some of my skills and away around the car. We had a few ideas in our heads and decided to get a rendering done. Ride height will be about 3.5" even.


We will be using a supercharged Ls2 for now.- things could change-
Roadstershop Fast Track IRS chassis
Recaro seats
RideTech triple adjustable shocks
Brakes- undecided yet-
Full cage
Paddle shifted 4l80e
Holley Dominator EFI
Infinity Box wiring
Wheels- Rushforth Rated X's for now-
18"x10"in front and 18"x12" rear

Body mods will be front and rear spoiler/ splitter
Remove vent windows
Flush mount front and back windows
Shave and smooth things as they come up.

The engine was saved seats, 1/2 of the electronics and 2 rims.

Glad to be building another one I glad I have a solid foundation that lets me do what I enjoy!

Wow, I would have thought more was usable. Glad you're doing well and I can't wait to see what's in store for 2.0!

It's an awesome build.

Excellent choice on all your components.

Seems like you have everything planned out.
