Thanks fellas.

Agreed, ornate interiors have their place but this is a driver so it will be more simplified, good looking and functional.

The dash insert is custom made from sheet metal.

Can you give some info on the front tire/wheel? Are they the same wheel that was on the car with different tires?

Yep, A/C to the back seat.

Nope, far from what was on there before. The old wheels were TSW 18x9.5"s with 255 35 and 235 40 tires. Now it's Forgeline 18x10.5" GA1R with 315-30s all around. Woohoo! Charles liked the more flush offset and the wheels are such that you can rotate the tires for longer life.

Here's what we did with the trunk, engine bay, and a shot of the car pre-stripes. Simple, functional, and let's get down to business styling.

i think they are a 10.5 with 8.5 bs yes we make the inner fenders not specifically for the nova so the 69 Camaro inner fenders were used and modified to fit,
only mod to the outer fender was to roll the lip a bit.
