I also like the Nova idea. But in a wagon. Lot's of room, popular body, good looking too. Different, but not too different. ??

I LOVE that idea Eric!!

There's a guy in Bainbridge - did a Nova wagon - made it a 2 door.... did the B pillars like a Nomad I think... LS motor -- chopped top - drove it to Power Tour and back...

Bet he's ready to move on to a different project and might give up the body... it has a lot of work in it already. It would be killer! Good idea.

But what do I know -- it's ROGERS project.

I saw that car in person. It does have a ton of work in it and it would be a great platform for the transaxle swap.

Hey Rodger?? How about a wagon?

Well first off I have no intention in copying anybody. The ferambo is an awesome car, but not quite me cup of tea great way to display your work. I have a truck that does this.

The trans should be able to be paddle shifted since a 4L80 can be paddle shifted.

The distance from the rear axle center line has to be pretty long, so that will leave some cars out. I doubt it would fit a camaro, it might fit a 66-67 nova. If we did this to Johns nova he could have that back seat he always dreamed of.

I have been thinking of using it in a street rod, something with a short interior section and a 2 seater. I have a 36 ford 3 window and think it would be cool in that, but maybe to long. But what engine do you hook it up to?

Maybe this http://www.falconerengines.com/bio/bio_l6.php

I was also thinking an almost flat floored 4 seat bubble top impala.

Pantera or GTM super car would be cool also.

like the Impala idea. Sure would be a "one of one" build no matter what you do.

Hey Rodger, uh....did you notice the number at the bottom right corner of the opening page?

Great morning humor Greg!

Rodger pull all my **** out and jamb it in the camaro. You would have to do this free of charge considering youd be FAMOUS. I'll buy the blazer jacket and you can name it FERRARMO. Which translates to very expensive so forget it.

No Camaros, Novas or Chevelles. A 61 Impala Bubbletop would be cool. I like the idea of stuffing it into Rushforths Buick. Its got to be something outside the box but will still get you your money come time to sell. An old Pontiac, Buick or Olds would be different. Maybe a Ford but not another Camaro, Nova or Chevelle.

I like the idea of putting it in the 36 3 window. With all the crazy body mods youve dreamed up for her why not put a totally unique drivetrain, and that motor would be SIK & fit so well
