New Leafs, shackles, and brackets on their way for the rear.

I've made some slight changes to the front that will help it steer straight down the track. Should be able to turn in good numbers, but I'm going with the new Speedway Nova subframe eventually.

Nice build thread! You have the username that I should've snagged way back when, hehe.

Not a Camaro. That car is pretty awesome. I went for something much more terrifying.

I would have never thought then that I would have my dad's old Nova and making around 1000 flywheel HP with it lol. You never really know....

LOL.

One more teaser shot, then you have to wait until February for the next one.
I don't want to ruin the other surprises involved in this one.

Can't give out any details on the setup, but I did spill the beans on the chassis setup a while back in another post.

Hopefully all of the fabrication is finished in the next few weeks, but I just haven't had time since Christmas and haven't worked on it. Next I can prep for paint. After that its fire, tune, and post it up. To say its a budget build is an understatement. I even impressed myself with how much money I don't have in this one.

I don't want to go through the hassle of a project log and posting constant updates, and there are a couple of local guys that pretty much pushed me over the edge when it comes to sharing what I'm working on (long story).

I'd rather just post up all of the pics/info/details when its done in another topic. I might toss out a picture here and there.

I'd say a GN or G body of the kind.... looking at the t-top and square of the windshield? Seat headrest is trowing me off....

Sad to see some guys made you not wanting to share, great project so i guess the other one could/would be as informative.

Sad.

Nice work still!!

LOL. What it's going in is certainly not ordinary in any way. I'm not going for subtle. Shock and Awe on a $6000 total budget.
