thanks man, a lot of time and effort have gone into it. it seems as though everytime we do soemthing else to it and get it running, we take it to a few shows then it goes under the knife again. it's a never ending thing!
Ya no kiddding, no matter what a car enthusiast will find some project to do to his car, especially an old muscle car. Looks nice, whats it make for power?

as for power, we haven't taken it to the dyno yet, bc it literally rolls for a month then is torn apart again. haha. we were "done" working on it for a while, then he wanted the alston ladder bars, so the rear is torn apart. we are hoping to be somewhere around thr 600-650 hp range tho
as for e.t.- we ran is N/A for a while, and the best time we ever got was a 12.47 with a shitty 1.89 60'....those mickeys aren't too good for traction.
hopefully within the next couple of months I can make it out to the track and dyno to see what it can really do.

Whenyou have it apart the next time you migh think about sending the headers off to Jet hot for coating. It was the only thing that really caught my eye as everything else is really nice.

In the $150-$200 range here in NorCal, probably cheaper everywhere else.

Nova Your deuce looks good. I am bit with the early Nova bug also, I sold the Outlaw car in 2002, but bought another 66 'street' car in the winter of 2002 and raced it/ street drove it for a few years and now it is under the knife for a roll cage, Alston front clip and a pump gas 555 BBC in place of the SBC 400, I have had thoughts about doing an LS engine in it.....but it would have to be Procharge and I can't figure out a suitable location for the intercooler.
Front CLip Out of the TCI, Heidts (clip) and Alston, the Alston is the best for racing IMO. It also seems to be better engineered. You won't be disappointed with it. Although it did eat up alot of coin. These aren't Outlaw legal either, but those days are over for me - too rich for my blood. I was single back then, now I got a wife with a shopping habit and two kids. If I can't get in and drive it on the weekends I don't want nothing to do with it.
