Hi everyone thought I would post up some pict and info about a new project we have going at my shop. It is a 69 Nova very rust free cali car, org an inline 6 so were not messing up a BB car or anything like that. The car will get full front tubular control arms upper and lowers, ATS spindles, not sure on springs yet. Rear will be 12 bolt with DSE leafs. No mini tub on this one. Brakes will be ether Wilwood 6 Piston calipers front and 4 piston calipers rear, or 06 ZO6 cailipers front and rear will know for sure this week. As for the eng and trans since our shop is right next door to Speed Inc. we will be using a LS1 and T56 trans. The build time for this car is 10 weeks and were already 2 weeks in, should be ready for paint in 2 weeks.

Not sure of colors yet but will be some kind of two tone any thoughts would be great.

Wheels are going to be the new Budniks Laterals 18X7 in the front and 18X8 in the rear tires will be BF Goodrich. Inside will be stock with bench seat (cut out for shifter). Let us know what you think good and bad.

Thanks Rick

What a great car to start with!

I like the plans you have. Personally, I would mini-tub it and shove some fat rubber under there.

Well the mini tubs are in and done. We are now putting everything together for what we will do for the rest of the car. We had bought DSE Drop leafs and the rest of the kit but now I don't think that is going to be used. Maybe Qlink or G bar?? Any way the front sub frame is going to be AME talked to them friday sould have that worked out next week. Here are some pictures of the finished mini tubs.
