This'll be about the sickest AWB Nova out on the West Coast: http://alteredwheelbasenova.com/quick_tech_inspection It has to be my best altered project to date. I only performed the back half surgery, but the overall package that owner Dave Henry spec'd out is through the roof bitchin, right down to the stock mono-leaf springs we cut up to make wheelie bars:
This just proves that "Deuces are Wild". The straight axle and AWB's are too cool. Surprised that someone didn't post a pic of Doug Thorleys Chevy ll. These pics give me incentive to get back on my 65. Plan your work-work your plan!
I see someone has already put a photo of this one on here. Its so nice thought I would add a few more. Mel

My brother got the car in 1970 and broke a rod and it sat in my back yard for years. I worked on it and by 1978 i had put a axel under it at 15 years old. I made everything in my school shop class. The 54 inch ladder bars, tilt front end, ect.It was in black primer when I got my license and drove it to school.This was my first car!!!
