67 Nova Project "Resurrection"

[Gmachine1911]

A little update...Got the underside bedlined, brake and fuel lines bent, started on the Dynamat in a few areas while it was easier being on the rotisserie. Then got the Quadralink reinstalled, got the the body off the rotisserie, subframe mounted and temporarily hung the front sheet metal to see how it looked in the shape of a car! Here’s some pics...thanks for looking!

Looking good Shane. What transmission are you using? It didn’t appear your tunnel was raised or enlarged.

Thank you! I’m planning on running a 4L65E. I wanted to avoid modding the trans tunnel and therefore having to raise the driveshaft tunnel.

Well, been a minute since I’ve posted any updates on the Nova. I took a break to do some home projects, rewired my Dad’s street rod and bought an enclosed trailer where my OCD kicked in as I was building out the interior. I was a little burned out on the car after getting it to roller status but now I’m fired up again and ready to make some progress. I started by getting the remaining few trim items I needed as well as the bumpers, hood, headlight buckets, bumper brackets, etc. to complete the front end. It’s scheduled to go to the body shop to get the front sheet metal fitted at the end of this month. Lots more to come so stay tuned. In the meantime, here’s a few pics…

GM NOS headlight bezels I scored…




Got the transmission in today as well…4L70E

Glad to see you back in action! I've been wondering what happened to your build as you seem to make a lot of progress quickly. Your build threads are killer!

Car looks killer.

I ended up making a wiring specific tool box and wow does it help. Since all the tools are fairly light you won’t need a heavy duty box.

And yes I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars at wire care.com.

If you have spare time when the car is at the body shop look up Ryan from Rywire as he does some amazing stuff.

Also get yourself a Dymo label printer and printable heat shrink tubing and clear to protect it. It has saved me hours of time as I know what every wire in my car is.
