1965 Nova SS Convertible update

[chevy2inreno]

Not much to show yet, but I'm pleased with any progress at all right now. The car's in the shop and we're cutting the wheel wells out to fit the 285-40-17's and measure to order the 9 inch. Then install the truckarm suspension and finish the min-tub. You can see the rust problems I have to replace, new quarters are ready to install. My four year old son was really impressed with the "turny things that spin" on the front of the car, LOL.

Looks like a cool project.......How FAR are you going to go with the car.....?

Engine is a 412sb with roller cam, Tremec TKO600 and 3.73 gears in the 9 inch. Wilwoods all around as well. Plans are to keep it looking mostly stock on the outside with all correct 65 SS trim, except for Goodmark cowl hood. Interior will also be mostly stock with stock 4 speed console over the Tremec, 200 mph factory speedo and factory tach. I'll have some later model bucket seats and aftermarket AC, but am planning on ducting the AC vents through a stock underdash diffuser.

Sounds like a kick A$$ ride! Keep us updated

Thanks. I checked your link for pics of your 67, very nice. Looks like you're using the Chassisworks front clip too. Did you have to have custom brackets machined to fit the Baer brakes? I go the 11.875 Wilwoods with the Chassisworks kit but it doesnt look like I can go with bigger brakes unless I have some custom bracketry done because all of Alston's stuff is unique to their applications. How do you like the Chassisworks clip so far?
