Wow,

Guess I fell behind...all my posts disappeared on my progress!! Suppose I better get going and get something done worthy of pics Ron and I think Aaron sent a ZAP to the server to delete all of the comments about his "Hollywood or Bust" tramp stamp

What frame are you using?? SRIII Kidnapping Billy would not be an invite....more like a motivated escort LOL

Thought I would re-post some of the pics that were lost in the big server shift. I have been slowly making progress on the Nova. Installed Rear 1/4 glass and regulators, weatherstripping, tail lamps, fuel fill door, removed front fenders and hood, bell housing dial indicated, clutch installed, trans assembled to engine and finally, I installed the engine/trans combo yesterday!!! Just have a few odds and ends and it will be secured in place and I can start laying everything else out. Hope to make some more progress today .

Damn that thing is dusty!!!, that's what I get for having the doors open all day!! Weather was too nice not to enjoy the fresh air, we have had so much rain I was considering planting a rice patty on the rear acreage

Wow that's great progress Jeff.

If you do put a crop in, 'Thug Rice' might be very popular with a certain segment of motorsports...


lol

I would be interested in hearing about where to source the parts for the rear end. You have a c6 style unit bearing right?

Pfff, I wish it was SRIII. We went with at new stock replacement from Vette Products. It's at powdercoat now, so hopefully have an update soon.

Hey, Billy, Bill, and I will come down and bring fold up chairs and an easy-up, supervise your build to make sure you do everything right. All you have to do is keep us hydrated with drink of choice. I have a kegerator I could fit two kinds in Oh, and Billy likes Cheez-its on hand. We should have a few weeks in June open in the schedule...

Looking good Jeff. 81 days
