Come on Curt, WTF, you are better than that! I wouldn't sell you a Mustang II.

This is our latest Nova Chassis. The front uses a modified Heidt's Pro-G. The rear is our 4-bar set up with a 9".

That's an interesting frame setup - in a good way. When I looked at your site I didn't realize that the picture you show for the Chevy II frame is one of your Chevelle Frames (right?). I just glanced at it and saw that it used C5/6 spindles/uprights and assumed that would be the case on the Nova frame. Not that there is anything wrong with any other setup, just an observation and assumption that I made that was incorrect.

Very cool build - I'll be following this one!

This may be a little off-topic, but what do you guys do with the VIN plate on the firewall? I see a few Novas being done but the VIN plate never gets put back on the firewall. What happens when it gets registered?

Glad you chimed in.... how about some specs on the front...?

Camber gain per inch?
Caster?
Instant center
Scrub?
RC?

Boy..... I didn't realize I could get in so much trouble on here. One mistake and everyone is on my butt!!!! And the bad thing is that I knew what it was. That is what happens with 14 employee, 10 projects, 3 kids and twins on the way. I finally think I may be loosing my mind. We do have some mustang II spindles on Ebay. I guess I could always say the damn chassis builders didn't give me a clue on what I got from them!!! SORRY it will not happen again.
