Unfortunately the selection timer has run out on you - and the default color is hot pink. I don't think we saw a hot pink Nova did we ? (might be a reason for that - not sure )

Good luck !

I've been searching for a picture of that Hot Pink Nova since yesterday!!!!!!!

I know i saw one in (i think) Super Chevy a COUPLE years ago...(it had black tinted windows and was on the cover if i remember correctly) Pink, but still nice. Anyone?

4 you can see them in the pic. 1 top back, 1 top tapered front section, 2 sides. We did lot of work on the pullmax and eckold and english wheel. It is pretty complex

ya your right now i see it. I was going to guess four or five. Very nicve work did brycen(spelling) do that?

I know everyone sometimes makes too much of a big deal about weight. I remember a recent thread where someone was asking how much the lead filler weighed on a subframe

However I can't help but wonder how much all that steel weighs? Is it comparable to the stock stamped sheetmetal and frame? Or are we talking an extra few hundred pounds? Don't get me wrong, most of us add an extra 100 pounds in dynamat alone. All that steel though must add up?

BTW Awesome car of course, league of its own

[FaBrycation]

all the steel does add more if you look at just that. but when you consider the all aluminum LS7 and drivetrain compared to the stock cast iron. and the fact that we cut off about 5 inches from the sides and 2 1/2inches from the middle of the firewall. if i had to guess i would say it probably evens out or close to it.
