Thanks!

Bought the tires new here in Sweden.
Just do a search for: bf goodrich dual redline and you will find them.
Summit has them: http://www.summitracing.com/search/...e/coker-bfgoodrich-vintage-tires?autoview=SKU

 

Click on the pick!

 

That is awesome!!!

 

Thanks!!!!
Just a lame 305 but it its strong enough to smoke the slicks and i got a BIG smile on my face

 

I couldn't seen the grin for all the smoke,,but I KNOW you had to be grinning ear to ear! HRP

 

Yep,and im still smiling.
Its a shitty lame car but it sounds tough and smokes the tires and thats enough for me

 

Looks like your having fun....good job!

 

Nice !

 

Bror! If that's a "lame" small block, I wouldn't want any part of your "big motor" when you get to build it!

Your build is impressive. Fruktansvard!

If you come to visit, tell us. FESTA!

 

Great burnout John, just like we did in the '70's !

 

Nice work. The floor pan looks pretty rust free!

 

There are some old repairs in the floor that looks alittle ruff and some rust where the floor connects to the firewall.
The floorpans are not great but not all bad either

 

Got the back and frontseats in.

 

The Nova has now passed tech inspection and is legal to drive.

 

Let 'er rip man!

 

Yes sir,will do

 

Took the windshield out,had some rust in one of the corners and im also getting the roof down to bare metal and needed access around the windshieldrubber.

 

Did some more metal work today.
Took off the outer plate to get to the inner rot.
as you can se on the pic there is a space between the 2plates from factory so water and all kind of shit can get right in.



Rot in the upper side that started it all.



When i removed the outer plate i found this under.
I knew i had it coming





Some new metal welded in,all this will be covered with Another outer plate later on.

 

Inner structure of the a-pillar is done.

 

Made a new outer plate today,the old one was to bad to fix.




Som test fitting and then the welder did the rest.

 

Got the roof down to bare metal after grinding down 6 layers of paint.
Then i took out my "spray gun" and now the roof has some grey Zink primer like the rest of the car.

 

The roof is done.

 

Some minor stuff done.
Changed oil/filter in the trans and also changed the oilpan for the trans.
Trew the Summit aircleaner away and bought a "scoop".




Also thinking of this,anyone tryed these?

 

We put a new 350 in my son's '65 hardtop last year, boy these Novas are tight under the hood to work on. Bur way cool.
Greg

 

Yep,its a bit tighter the fullsize cars but alot lighter.

 

Got my ball joint spacers today,will mount them later today so stay tuned

 

Check the clearance on the ball joint spacer to the frame on full frontend lift! Sometimes the spacer will touch the frame when the front is raised, and eventually break the spacer if not clearanced. Also will need stronger coil springs if you're using the spacers to get the frontend up higher.

 

Will do sir!
I got stronger front coils alredy but on Novas the coil is located ontop of the upper Control arm so it will work out anyway.

 

I love Novas! I had a 64' 2-door post years ago with a 327 and it is one car I wish i kept!
