Default 66 nova ls2

Figured I'd add my build on here even though it's already done now. It's a 66 nova with ls2 crate motor, tremec 5 speed trans with 9" ford rear end. I have the heidts front end on the car, so much easier to work on. Also the car rides like a brand new car with coil overs up front, I put 325 lb springs up front. Rear end is still leaf sprung with traction bars and air shocks ( I know old school haha) I plan on putting coil overs on the rear end also just haven't had time yet. Car also has 275/40/17 mt sport comps on the back, no tubbing required to fit this big tire under the back. Had a custom gas tank built for the car, fuel system is a1000 fuel pump with matching regulator. Interior is pretty much all stock, I plan on building a custom dash cluster for the car to put all autometer gauges in the dash. I don't like the dashes they sell because the gauges stick out of the cluster, I'm going to make one behind plexiglass just like the factory dash so it looks stock. I have some pictures of the car as I was building it ill post when I find then again.

Thanks for the compliments. Couldn't be more happy with the car, I really need to stop tinkering with it and call it "done" as I have a 1960 corvette to build.
