I'm another new guy here. I have been working on a '63 Nova SS for about seven months. I started out with a shell and I am still cutting out rust and replacing metal.

I have replaced the stock suspension both front and back with TCI components.
I used TCI's basic Mustang II front clip up front and their torque arm rear suspension.
Motivation will come from an '04 Corvette LS1 fed through a T56 six speed. I am going to retain the EFI and DBW on my motor. Originally I was going to build a 383 from my old 4 bolt 350 when I bought the T56 so now it needs to find a new home as the old style does not work with LSx motors. Once it is gone I will get the LSx version and be good to go!!

I have a build thread on Steve's Nova Site http://www.stevesnovasite.com/forums...d.php?t=175407

During my building process I happened upon the "Watts Link" and decided that it looks like a good idea in place of the pan hard bar. I have done a lot of research on the "Watts Link" and mentioned to another member that I was concerned about the length of the links on his setup. He mentioned that the next best thing would be a "Mumford Link". This has me even more interested than the Watts but I have been unable to find very much good information.

So here I am on

hoping to make some new friends and make my car handle better at the same time.

I used to live in Milwaukie/Gladstone area about 11 years ago. Miss all the stuff to do. Don't miss the traffic.

Currently in the Medford area.
Travel to the Couv often to visit family.
Hopefully I can start making the trip in the Nova soon.
