We have one project we are wrapping up that has Chris alston suspension front and rear. The front crossmember from their bolt on clip, and the rear has the Billet triangulated 4 bar. Because we built the chassis per each customers needs, we can set your ride height and so on and maximize you interior space. Building the frame out of tube allows us to position the bar so that it maximizes you space. Take Johns 66, the floor is about 2-3 inches lower then stock. It is about .75 of and inch above the shaved pinch weld on the rocker. I have a customer bringing me a 66 later this week for this treatment. I think morrison has bitchin product, but when you have the main rails spliting the floor in each floor panel your bound to lose some interior room. Novas are small cars already. The work involved in the sheetmetal work is the same no matter what you do for a chassis. With the price of install and of a Max G chassis I think we are very competive. NOT cheaper but you get a different product.
If you look on my website you will see 2 of the major nova projects we have going on. I'm getting ready to start on another 66 with alston suspension and a 62 Nova convertible with C6 corvette suspension. We have quite bit of experience with those cars. If you have further questions call me at the shop (661) 399-8999.
The car I posted has no airbags and nothing hangs below 5"'s. It is set up to run 17x8.5" and 18x12" fikses with BFG tires.
here's a 66 with the AME Max G and no cage that we are building right now, it is alot of work but i would say if the money is not an issue the way to go
a little mor finished, but keep in mind if your wanting to do it EVERYTHING needs to be refabricated
Sorry for a small hijack.
Blake,
I see you put the hydraboost under the dash. Have you done this before? I was considering it, but I was worried about noise. Any issues that you know of? Thanks.

Wow I guess I'm not alone is being over taken by the novas. That thing looks awesome. What are you running for wheels? Did you make the rails go out to the rocker in the frame of is that a new Morrison thing? I have never seen that before.
The Hydro boost under the dash was not by choice just no where else to mount it so the noise will have to drowned out by the 850hp 540 All Aluminum Donavan BBC i guess!!!!
the rails do come out to the rockers, we actually ordered a front clip and a rear clip and then joined them in the middle, the owner is really tall so having the Morrison x and exhaust in through the frame would put the seat too high...........
we are runnint 19/20 forgeline mesh wheels painted the same color as the car.
