Chevy II Gasser/ AFX pic request!

Mine is getting so close to completion,Motor going to be finished up on wednesday and hopefully running and driving by saturday night. Poorboys midnite mass car show is Sat. down the street from my shop. really trying to make it.

 

The car is coming along nicely, Jay.S.

 

Thanks guys glad you like it! Her is a better progress shot, and also an acadian i bought a couple weeks ago.

 

Here is another pic. I finished painting the chassis and the firewall too, i will see if i can get some better pics. Here is another rear pic.

 

nice looking project you got there. I'm working towards a bit of the same goal with mine.

 

Her's ours in a crappy pic! Jay.S, you sir have alot of neat shit!!!

 

Cool ride. Keep at it. I love early Nova's. If I ever get to build another gasser it will be a Nova or a 33 Willys 4 door sedan. Any chance you could help out with finding a pair of Acadian 6 cylinger fender emblems, the ones that look like compass points with a 6 in the middle? Looking for a pair for my Nova wagon. They don't need to be perfect either. just good driver quality.

 

Jay, nice post. I love what you are doing with the deuce. Stick an axle under the Acadian and it will be done too! Always liked the Acadians, my cousin had a '67.

My dad was born and grew up not too far from you, beautiful country!

Keep the progress pics coming!

Later,

Mike

 

Thanks guys for the comments, I can't wait to get it on the road! And cgaswillys i will keep an eye out for some fender tags.

 

smokinbill, please keep those picts comin, love it!

 

Alright here's the latest, motor is here and in. Battery is in the trunk now.

 

Here's a few that race with the east Coast Gassers.

 

Very nice car Bill. How about some bias plies on the front and some white VHT on those headers?

Wow!! I take it Magnante put a new motor in that car? Does he frequent this board?

 

Great thread. This brings up memories of a Nova I use to see in Bell, Ca. (ya the city in the news) in the 70's as a kid. It was metalic blue 62-65 body, had the name Lil Thumber on it. I always wonder about this car and what became of it.

 

Same motor, just hooking hard! No, I don't think he is a member here.

 

Still working on it!!!!

 

Was this car up in Redding CA? It looks like the rear was moved years ago.

 

you forgot to put in your subframe connectors...

 

I'm so tempted to put an axle and a big block in this but common sense is telling me to leave it alone and have fun driving it the way it is. Then again common sense isn't all that much fun.

 

I just found this thred it's great.
Anyone have a 68-74 Gasser Nova?
