67 Nova - SEMA 2013 Build

[Code510]

Hey Everyone,

I've been kind of lurking around here and posting, but I figured I should contribute something and show what I've been working on.

1967 Nova that I've owned for 15 years or so. This car was originally restored in about 2000-2001. With some mechanical issues and other randomness, I never really finished this car. Now I'm pulling it out, dusting it off and finally fixing it up. I had it out on Sunday and its a dog! Stock suspension left a ton to be desired. I'm planning on doing a Church Boys Racing front end on it and a bunch of other upgrades to bring this thing to current.

The car will be at this years SEMA, so yes, in almost 2 months. I'll be at the Lat-G dinner as well!

Here's a quick rendering of the car, I'm trying to get it to this level:


The car is already painted, so that's a huge help. I'll post up some more pictures soon showing what I'm up to and progress.

Won't be in a booth unfortunately. It will be outside as a featured vehicle. I'll be sure to post up where its at!

I have been a little bit lol.

This has been a bit of a last minute decision to take the car. We decided it would be a cool way to help promote and such. Now time to do burn the midnight oil getting it ready!

I'll have lots of time to work on it between my full time job, part time job, a 20 month old son, 1 month old son, and everything else!

Here's a picture of how it sits right now....and this picture was taken about 8 years ago! You can see my Chevelle in the background, back when it was blue!

looking forward to the build, It looks like a really solid start and what I keep telling my customers. START with a solid car and do the transformations to that. Looking forward to checking it out!

Made a tiny bit of progress on the car last night.

Back story:
About 10 years ago a Tuned Port Injected 350 was installed into the car because those motors were all the rage. Its runs good, but has always had some weird fuel starvation issues. After messing with it time and and time again, I decided it was ready for an upgrade. I noticed that Tanks Inc now makes a 66/67 Nova fuel injection tank, so that's what I ordered up. I'm hoping that this fixes the fuel starvation issues.

Here's some pictures of assembly. I have to say I'm really impressed right off the bat. Nice powder coated tank, Made in the USA fuel pump, and really nice directions. From the time I opened the box to the time everything was installed in the tank was about an hour. Tonight I'll work on bolting it up.

Out of the box:



The baffled area inside the tank:


And final assembly:



I'm anxious to see if this fixes my problems, but I'm sure it will. The old set up consisted of a hacked up stock tank.

Where are you located? I'm just curious if the "C510" has anything to do with area codes in California (Bay area?)

The rendering looks great. good luck!
