Here try the link, mine is a full frame.

Lateral-g.net :: Doug Sinjem's 66 Nova

I don't think the link worked. Go under members and you can see pics of my 66 Nova. Wayne Due built the frame and it has C5 suspension front and rear.

A few questions if you don't mind:

How hard was it to cut out the firewall, floor pan, and trunk?
How hard was it to reseat on the chassis in terms of fitment?
Is this possible without the assistance of a garage?
What kind of rear end are you putting on this?
I was told by Kevin Kosir at Art Morrison that to drop the body back on to the frame with a C-5 front end would limit the ride height and the wheels would not tuck under the wells but it looks like they tuck under just fine on your ride. Was there something you did to modify this? He suggested their IFS front end.

Sinco,

Since your project is pretty much what I am looking for another round of questions:

Was your full frame an Art Morrison frame?
Are you building a G-Machine or a straight line dragger?
It looks like the rear end is an IRS. Is this correct and which did you finally choose?

Wayne Due built the chassis. I believe he had morrison bend the rails. Due to the narrow front end on Novas we had to bring the front hub to hub measurement in to fit the front tires in the wheel wells.

Wayne probably used a plasma cutter to cut the firewall and floor out. He did have the car while he did the work. Putting everything back is going to be the hard part, fitting the wheel tubs, floor and trunk. It's all got to be custom.

I'm building a g-machine not really a drag car. The front is all C5 and so is the rear. The rear end is out of a cobra R and should be able to handle about 700 hp. We are still going to put down bars from the firewall to the frame.

We are going to cut the firewall back and shave it smooth. I'm going to run the new LS7 and either a 4l65e or the new 6 speed automatic. It will have stand alone egine management either BS3 or the Haltech and probably a stand alone computer for the trans.

Novanutcase you might want to call and talk to Wayne Due. He does subframes for the novas either c5 or c4 suspension or build a custom frame. He's easy to talk to and deal with. Depending on your budget he should be able to help you.

The reason I wanted a frame was so I could get the car low. It's all running on traditonal shocks and springs no air bags. The cars ride height should be about 4 inches behind the front tire and about 5 behind the rear.
