Looking at the rendering?? It is a 66 front end,, Yours is a 67 ?? Are you going to change ?? Are you going with vent window delete ??

The rendering is a 66, ours is a 67. We just used an image that we had, not one of the actual car. Sharp eye though!

SEMA is getting close!!! And I'm still waiting on parts to show up. I did make some progress yesterday though.

I opted for a set of Spyder headlights. I felt this will help tone down all the chrome on the front end.

Before:

After:


I got the rear disc brakes installed as well:


Here's the car as it sits! Still have to do the front end, gauges, and vinyl wrap. I guess its not SEMA unless you're crunching to finish!


Here is a teaser photo from the wheel company as well. These should be completed from the powder coaters this week:

Slowly but surely! Can't wait to see the 67 Nova you are building. It will blow this one out of the water!

Here's some updates! SEMA is only a few days away. Getting very close!

Had some boxes show up on Friday:


Unpackaged goodness:


This a complete Church Boys Racing Rack and Pinion front end. Talking with Church Boys he said this will make this sloppy Nova handle better than my Chevelle.

Rear arm and front brace installed:


Upper control arm:


Look at how nice and thick the upper control arm cross shaft is, a quality piece indeed:


We went with Viking Performance Dual Adjustable coil-overs. These are amazingly nice pieces. The ones on my Chevelle work incredible, I can't imagine a car without them:


I got the rack and pinion bolted up, but I have to make some modifications to make it fit:

These Nova's are front sump, rear steer. Now its going to be front steer with the R&P. Well the engine has an aftermarket deep front sump oil pan for the engine which didn't work with the R&P, but a factory pan would. So I'm in the process of notching it to fit.

Very nice so far. this looks like a great way to take an older restoration/hot rod to the next level and bring it up to current car culture.

Getting close to SEMA!
