R.P. - Just the fact that you posted a comment makes me feel proud! Your car is amazing!

So you like Z06 Nova huh? Rodger, the fabricator, told me that if I don't like that name we can always turn the plate around and call it AVON 6 OZ.!

I told him he should stick to welding!

Chaz - Thanks for the encouragement! Yes, they are humming along quite nicely! Hopefully my checkbook can keep up with them!

I'll be going up next week to see the car in person so I'll take some photos of the car. We're supposed to have the C6 Torque tube, Transaxle, Diff, Half-Shafts, Rear Control Arms and hubs by Friday. Hopefully the guys will have the rear mocked up and the main chassis further along!

Car is looking good! Keep the pictures coming! Be sure to share your project over at Steve's Nova Site Good group of Nova fans there.

BTW, I'm not sure what wheel size you came up with, but I think 17" front and 18" rears are the perfect combo for Chevy IIs. Anything else doesn't look right...

Keep it up!

Marty - Coming from someone that has one of the most insane truck builds I've ever seen that is a HUGE compliment! Man, I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate the words of encouragement that you all have been giving me!

Cadpro - I posted at stevesnovasite under "Show and Shine"/Did I make the right decision? 17/35/255 front and 18/30/335 rear is the final.
*****Edit***** Rear may change to 295 or 305!

Thanks to all that have posted words of encouragement and advice! Hearing a different point of view, good or bad, helps me in seeing things that I may have not seen or thought of which, in the end, will make the build just that much better!

Thanks Again Guys(and Gal!)
