Chevy II's

I think I've seen wheels like this being made now... Would this style be correct for a 60's Chevy II/Nova or would they have only been used for FED's and floppers?

 

Those would relly "give you the look"
Id vote to use them, 100 %

 

Altereds in the early 70's too.

 

Here is my 64 that was a Modified Production racer back in the day.

 

And a couple pics of the new Hilborn injected small block.

 

I am looking for a clean 4 door for my wife. We actually prefer a 4dr . . .but all the nice ones I come across . . . the owners look at the coupe prices out there and think they really have something special. . . patience will turn one up eventually.

 

You will find one.

 

Here is mine, 10:74 through the mufflers

 

Here's another one I bought on Ebay Took the 12 bolt put it in my 1966 Super Sport Wound up selling them both Had too many cars

 

My 1964 Nova Bought it at the Super Chevy event at Maple Grove Had it awhile but again too many cars. Sold it to a friend who still has it

 

Chevy II

 

Very cool to see this thread !!!!

 

He put a L88 Big Block in it?
He had to have cut it up good in the shock tower area to make it fit.

I'd love to have it today!

 

Shock towers were notched, but not hacked

 

My 65 Nova SS, in progress! Can't wait, will be driving it in prime soon. 454, 30 over, M22 with a 9" 3:73 locker rear.

 

Love it. When I was 15 I would say wouldn't it be crazy if someone put a bigblock in one of these light cars.

 

355 blown small block. 350 trans with Ford 3.90 rear gear. Street car that has run a best of 10.40 on street tires and pump gas. My winter project will be to do the body over and fresh paint.

Nice job on both. I like them, very clean looking rides.

 

wow. amazing body work there.

 

Here's mine...or errr my wife's. Took all the stickers off this past weekend.

 

Can't take all the credit there. I did the mechanical/electrical. A friend of mine in town George Wills (Auto Body) did the incredible job of rebuilding the body which turned out needing to go deeper than originally thought and applying the base coat/clear coat 2005 Toyota Tacoma Speedway Blue. i was the willing sidekick.

When I bought the car in 2000, it looked pretty good from the outside. I drove it as is about three years, croaked the original 6 banger and decided to do a Heidts Front clip and 383 stroked Vortec 2nd Gen SBC. What I found was the body was eating itself up from the inside out and the deeper we got, the worse it looked so the decision was made to take it all the way down to the outer wheelhouses.

Anyone redoing on of these. Take a body pick or a screw driver to the trunk floor pan and you will probably see that it will be the first thing you need to replace.

 

I need to replace the windshield rubber on my Nova. I bought a new one when I rebuilt the car and it fit for shit so I cleaned up to original and reinstalled. Now it is so dried out it leaks.

Anyone installed a new one lately and how did it fit at the top corners? Who is the manufacturer?

 

The Best one on the market is from Steele Rubber. Here is a link to them: http://www.steelerubber.com/

 

Here is my former 63. I sold it in 1987 to build a 68 Camaro.

 

Very nice!
