I don't know how I missed this Thread ... my daily driver '63 with Buick hubcaps. Also, I just installed a mini sub frame kit from CPP. Wow, what an improvement! I highly recommend it for anyone planning to actually drive one of these little gems.
Thought I'd share a couple of pics taken by my buddy Greg last year, That's his Red '66 4th from the left. 12 cars got together for a cruise around Edmonton - all '66 or '67 Novas, Chevy II's Or Acadians. Wouldn't that be cool to see roll past
I agree. My car just got the following: CPP mini subframe kit 1 inch drop coils upper tubular control arms idler bearing arm conversion spring perches leaf spring bushings disc brakes w/ power booster 5 lug rear end 1 inch lowering blocks 5 lug wheels and new tires detailed pics of the install can be seen here - CPP Mini Subframe Install
Not the same as seeing a bunch of them roll by in person, but here's some Chevy II video for you... SoCal Novas vid
Sweet Video! Got snow on the ground here so crusin' days are over But on the bright side... I get 6 months of uninterrupted wrenching time. new windshield, paint dash, lower the rear .
That's one of my favorite Chevy II's I snapped a couple pics of that car when we toured CPP: CPP TOUR PICS Most of those cars are over on SNS. Thanks! Good luck with the upgrades. How's the T5?
Putting a T5 behind the 194ci is the best thing I ever did for the car. Very drivable now. Like I've said before - If my 15 year old and I can do this swap in an unheated garage during an Alberta winter with no hoist or power tools then any idiot can do it! Any one needing info on this I made a tech page on my Car Domain site (pg12)
Heres the latest on mine , rebuilding the rear end of my 63 ss. You can check out some of what has been done here http://members.cardomain.com/sixty3ss
It's stock Chevy II front suspension with a brace from lower frame rail to lower frame rail. The drive train currently is a 327, a milder version of the old Super Stock engine.... also has a 'glide behind it. I'm in the process of turning it back into a street car so we can enjoy it more.
Wow - Anyone give you a hardtime for runnin' Buick caps? I had a guy yell at me - called me a F'n Moron ( in front of kids ) for having '66 SS caps on a 4 door Like who cares Pal!
Over the past 40 years, I've had 46 Nova's. Mostly, 62-67 year cars. Street cars, Drag Car, and show cars. Working on #47 for the wife. 66 SS w/factory vinyl top. Have a shop dedicated to 62-67 Nova's. (B&B Chevy II Performance) Started the shop in 1968. Run it part time now. Still have lottsa' parts and NOS stuff. Just built a new shop behind the house on our property. Still putting it together yet.... Steve in NJ
Nice Duece StraightAxleNova! Brings back memories! Must be a handful down the track. Nice axles on the lady standing next to it also... LOL! Steve in NJ
Scott,I remember your '64. Forget what year it was.. Saw it getting gas near DuQuoin... Did it have a V-6?
