Great seeing the additional pictures Joe. Awesome project. Great job on all the custom mods. Like the dash too. That's one area where aftermarket support for the Nova is lacking (DSE are you listening )

I think you might have just convinced me to take a cutoff wheel to my shock crossmember . Something I've been considering anyway. Not as much for the extra drop as it is to get the cross member out of the way so I can get exhaust tubing through there.

Nova's can only go up to 315 if I avoid cutting into the framerails. 305 for the R888 to start, but if traction is still limited I'll go full 315 with the 555R2.. they seem to be working well for Mark.

They're Axis Penta wheels (can't get them in 18" any more, only 19"+), 18x8 with 4.875" BS all round, with 235 up front and 275 in the back. Going to 9.5" with 275 in the front and 11" in the back with 305/315.

With your excellent fab skills you should be able to notch those frame rails for a 315 or 335 no?
