cars a real SS with front disks,12 bolt 3:55 posi, with Cal-tracs

its got some rust, but I have all the new panels, trunk, trunk floor, tail pan, fenders, doors, full quarters, etc

bought the car with a build 327, Muncie M-21, after a Edelbrock cam swap, and aT400 with a converter, car ran right at 12.99 108, and got 16 MPG!! fun to drive,

the cars run 12.20@108 shifting around 5800, but it pulls to 6500 easily, havent really hit it with a full pass, this is with the BBC,

For drag wheels I have Weld Aluma Stars 2.0 and MT drag radials, but run the rallys every where else,

These are some parts going in:

sub is from the camaro and has cut out for air, and DSE coil over conversion, and 12" Wilwoods for the front,

I've got the same seats!
They are super comfy and look GREAT in the car.

next week I'm thinking of taking the back to a friend and get the same design, I did upholstery work for years,

Yes, they are comfortable, cant wait to get them in!!!

What kind of seats are they? I am trying to figure out what would work well in my 70', those look like they would fit the bill.

Scat Pro-car Rally 1000, Summitt sells them,

Picked up my POR 15 on Thurs. may get to weld some of the trans tunnel up later today,

Steve,

Those are the seats I'm looking at for my '68 'vert! I haven't been able to see a pic of them in a Camaro (unless someone has the link)... Are they as comfortable as everyone says??

TC

Yes they are, I bought the first one, wife asked why I bought it, then she sat in it, was like oh hell ya, there good for the money, I can let you sit in one,

Not much this week, had to work on a friends Nissan, and other stuff, And I have tech school all next week,

Certification obtained!!! more this week!!

Welded up the floor yesterday, smoothed out the welds a little, now for POR15, and some Dynamat, the carpet, and seats......

POR painted on front half of the floor,


Anybody know where to find a roller for squishing down the dynamat??? Eastwoods is a piece of junk,

man, the 68 is my favorite nova. after a 71, of course. good luck and have fun with the build.

I heard the rallies sat too high, so I shied away from those when I sold my pro 90s. the 90s certainly did, even after fabbing up lower brackets for 'em. I'm a huge fan of my corbeaus now.

I got a real deal on one seat brand new, and for the other and the mounts, Summitt had a promo code and a rebate, so for everything, I dont have a bunch of cash tied up into them, and I sold the seats that were in there,

I'm 5'9" so I think I'll be OK on the height, and I set everything on the lowest settings,

Funny thing is I didnt want a Nova, a engineer at work owned it and it was wrecked, told him I'd give him 2K for it if he fixed the suspension, he reciepts totalling $8500, that was long ago,
