project moth ball.... 71 nova ss
Ok guys so here's the run down I am back on track with my nova. I have owned my nova since I was 15 and was once my daily driver in high school. It been through many stages in it life . Any way short story is in 08 I took the small block / 6 speed/ 12 bolt out and built a 9" with a strange center Detroit Tru track 4.10's, Moser axles and 12" will wood disk brakes. I kept the d&d built t56 a d built a 6.0 lq4 with ls3 heads and carb intake. Smoothed the fire wall and that was it. ...it's been sitting since collection dust.
It been bothering but I've been so busy running my body/mechanical shop I just didn't have the time to finish it and I've been really wanting to pro tour it. So in august I got I touch with dale at schwartz performance and Matt classic bowties for the remainder of my major parts. Dale hooked me up with a full ride tech stage 2 coil over suspension front and rear, 13" front brakes and master by willwood to match the rear and aaw wire harness. MCB hooked me up with dse mini tubs , and weld in sub frame connectors .
Here is how she looked before I took it apart in 08
Here's the 6.0 I built and set in 08
9"Rear end
And until recently this is how it's been sitting since....
Fast forward to this weekend ..got her up on the lift
Next fuel tank and stock leafs need to go....
Lotta parts!
Start of the ridetech air bar install
And finally rear suspension done....
Back on the ground....sitting much lower!
So far that's it....my plan this week is to get the dse sub frame connectors in hopefully then next week end get the sub out and get it on the rotisserie and start the mini tub install.
What you guys think? Friend of mine says I should change the color but I'm on the fence it's been red for so long .... that's a minor decision at this point any way...lol
