I have been working on this car all through high
school and now it is getting close
to being done. The engine is mostly stock for now but once i get the
body and suspension all done I plan to put a twin turbo
small block in it. I have been researching the
engine buildup I will do extensively.
There are many
body modifications done to this 72 nova which include:
shaved handles
shaved marker lights
smoothed firewall
drip rails and quarter window trim
removed
trunk key hole shaved
tail lights shaved and LED lights flush mounted
in bumper
front turn signals shaved and LED lights in grill
Cadillac trunk closer installed
cowl vents shaved
antenna shaved
SOON to have custom made dash with Dakota
digital gauges
The subframe was removed and seems were welded
and a arms relocated. It was then
powder coated black as was all the suspension components. It still has
stock disc brakes but will be upgraded later. It also
has a herb adams front sway bar with spherical
rod ends as end links and herb adams adjustable shocks
on all 4 corners. Rear suspension is stock for now. The rims are
17x8 Boyd Coddington evolutions with 215 45r17 in front
and 245 40r17 in the rear.
All work including mechanical and body were done
by myself. I learned the
body work at a class at school and am going to continue learning at
WYO tech school this spring. Sorry for the
quality of the pictures but I will have many
more very soon.
