    I've always had a soft spot for those cars. Looks like a good start to me!

    Love those, I hope to get another one day to replicate the 66 nova sport coupe that was my first car. That one looks to be a really nice builder.

    i love those box novas... i've got a couple of 'em out back and i can't decide whether to sell or build. got a 63 nova ss convert with dealer installed 283 and powerglide and i got a 66 2-doe hardtop. novas are so cool and light weight which means fast without big bucks... anybody want'em bad? pm me.

    From the pics it looks like the car is out by the race track, is that your place or where you found it?
     
  11. I don't know if it will work or not. Depends on if your trying to build a duece roadster or not. OH, you ment the pictures.:D

    Those are real neat little cars. Don't weigh much so it don't take a lot to move 'em and they can be built everywhere from custom to door slammer and have good results.

    looks pretty solid in the pics. You made a good deal?

    Its my place, and yes its out by the race track.

    Pork'nbeaner I traded a 72 suburban for it. It was in ok shape, dropped, shaved, flamed. Most importantly, I like the Nova better. Its real solid, but no chrome trim at all except the emblems.

    I think i'm going to fill the holes.
     
  16. Good to know! Bill, tell the dog I'll be there on the 3rd. I'm only interested in the cool stuff! Friend of mine just drug home a '67. Ive always like the Novas.

    Nope, no straight axle. I already have a gasser.

    With this one I just want to freshen it some give it a nice paint job, a good little hot 327 maybe a 302 and a 3000 stahl converter.

    There is NO rust I couldn't believe it. All in all it's in real good shape..

    I would like fenderwell headers, it's already got headers but I like fenderwells..
