Hey guys, figured I would make a build thread. Ive owned this car for 16 years, paid $50 for it, rescued it from a creek bottom. Previous owner gutted the entire car to build a 34` coupe out of the parts. Dumbass.
Current looks^, the car spent the last few years as a 362CI small block chevy, t56 and nittos. Ran a best of 12.7@108 in this way. Very mild motor, but the car hooked well and beat a lot of cars on the street it "Shouldn't have" I spent about every dime I made on my gto and this car sat patiently in the garage waiting for me to come to me senses haha. Well I sold the gto and now its time the car got some Love!

I love Nova's I have a 70 sitting in the garage with a pile of parts I need to put on. I have caltrac split mono's and tubular upper and lower controls arms just sitting in boxes waiting for me to put them on.
looks like it's going to be an awesome build. Please tell me you are leaving the outside looking the way it is even with all that going on underneath it. That would be awesome.

normally i would agree with this but not on this build. i would do all the bodywork and paint the "Old Man River" nova. just because of where it came from and he has the pics to back it up

Currently my prioritys are racing lol, so yes at a minimum this year it will stay like this. But I do plan to finish restoring the car. My plans are matte white, with the black SS accents.
