It's Official...Project: NoGo

[Young Gun]

Well the old post had a number of good ideas but Zee has finished the rendering and I have the car pictured just as I want it to be. This thread will have the pictures of my previous thread but I will hopefully be able to add even more in the next few months...

Here is where we started:

And I would like to take a moment and thank Zee (aka ZVT)...I think he did an amazing job with this, Zee really helped me to visualize my project and I cannot thank hime enough for this! For anybody looking to do a rendering in the future, strongly consider ZVT, he was great to work with, extremely patient, and very talented as you can see...And now... without any further adieu, I present, Project : NoGo

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Right now these are the plans for the car...

-Minitubbed with the DSE Quadralinked Rear set up for a 12 bolt POSI
-The interior will be completly FatMatted to reduce noise and heat and the color scheme of it will probly be black leather and polished alumininum accents
-We are looking at the Sparco Modena seats
-The plan is to add a 6speed manual (probly a TKO) to the back of a 396 which should be pushing 400-500 naturally
-To connect all of the power we are going to have a carbon fiber drive shaft, which not only looks awsome but does a great job
-As far as the body mods go, it should have 2 inch cowl and all the badges shaved off, I would love to have the doors shaved but we will see how the project develops, it will also have some DSE subframe connectors
-The car will be running Forgeline SP3P wheels 8" wide in the front and 12" in the rear, I think it is going to be a 18/19 staggered setup
-Behind the wheels will have 13" Wilwood Brakes for some sure fire stopping power
-Up front it is also going to get the full DSE treatment, It will have a DSE front clip with all the goodies on it
-Its gonna have a nice system in it, nothing crazy but something that sounds good.
-Still have yet to decide on a cage setup, not sure if we want a full cage or just something less that adds to the structural rigidity of the body

[68Formula]

Personally I like the dual wheels on the primered version the best. But the rendered version will probably look nice too. LOL!

Good luck with the project.

[Yelcamino]

If you can keep on track and make the finished product look like the rendering, you're going to have one SWEET Nova! I like it a lot!

Maybe I should get a rendering done of my Chevelle. How much did it cost?

[WS6]

Looks great Colin.

[gearheads78]

Rendering looks killer. I look forward to seeing it come together.

[mac71ss]

like that rendering!

[novanutcase]

Looks Great! Make sure you post pics of the progress!

[Young Gun]

Anybody have any idea how to get it into the under-construction section of PHR????

[curly]

I like the rendering!

Steve Rupp
On this site!! You know Bad Penny dont you?

[West Texas Z]

That rendering looks sick. I hope...no...I KNOW it will look this great in the end. :)

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

lookin like a good start Youngin..

[6'9"Witha69]

The process has begun with a fairly clean sheet it looks. Have fun and keep us updated!

[Young Gun]

yes...its pretty solid, the only body work it really requires is a new drivers side floor pan (this one is all dented, its strange, almost as if something large hit the bottom) a patch on the drivers side rear quarter (there is a 2" x 8" strip that was rusted through so were gonna fix that) there are a few spots around the rear window that need to be fixed, the previous owner minitubbed it already but did a shoddy job so the welds on started to rust, we are going to replace them any ways so we can run larger wheel/tire combo's out back, aside from all of that its not too bad

my dad and I are trying to figure out which way we want to go as far as chassis/suspension set up, initially we were leaning towards a full DSE setup, the hydroformed subframe fully loaded, and the quadralink out back, now we are considering a full chasis car...we are looking at the MaxG chassis or maybe the Vennom Chassis...not entirely sure which im leaning more with at this point, the Vennom Chassis front suspension does not incorporate c5 corvette componenents which is something I would really like in a full frame chassis whereas the Max G does...

for those that have not seen the Vennom Chassis:

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

and their website:
http://www.vennom.com/

and of course the MaxG chassis:

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

and the website you all know:
http://www.artmorrison.com/index.php

if anybody has any suggestions please throw them out there, everything is really hectic right now, Im busy applying to colleges and all that wonderful stuff and my father is travelling so the project is somewhat frozen due mostly to the lack of time...

the other thing that I have been wondering, how do you get sponsors on a build?

Thanks for the interest everybody and I will be sure to keep you updated as soon as we have developments!

Colin
Aka Young Gun

[muthstryker]

i myself have been thanking about the morrision max-g chassis, i saw it at a local car show (good guys they had a booth) its amazing, best part for me is they are here in washington and just down the block from my new job. i just have to take the factory tour some time.

The only thing i really dont like about their frame is that you have to build completly new floor pans, a custom job like johns nova.. but the chassis is amazing and the guys are really nice. I would go with the morrison chassis as its already been proven on the track and if you up to the challenge of making all new floors then thats the way i would go.

[muthstryker]

is the vennom chassis even made for your year of car? ive only seen them on the 66-67 novas..

[Young Gun]

is the vennom chassis even made for your year of car? ive only seen them on the 66-67 novas..

I spoke with them and they said that they can alter it to fit a 70 nova, the wheelbase on a 70 nova is 111" as opposed to their chassis 109" wheelbase

[novanutcase]

I spoke with them and they said that they can alter it to fit a 70 nova, the wheelbase on a 70 nova is 111" as opposed to their chassis 109" wheelbase

But why would you want something "altered" to fit your car when you can have it custom made "to" your car?

John

John

Thats a very good point, I cant seem to find any time to call AME but I surely need to...We are really considering a full chassis at this point, the trunk needs a patch and is going to get cut up for the mini-tubs, the floor needs a new transmission tunnel and drivers side pan, what the heck...at this point whats a passenger side floor pan and a new firewall!!!!

on a slightly different note, does anybody have any idea how difficult it would be to get the front clip of a first gen camaro onto a 3rd gen nova? now my rational for this is probly completly off so please feel free to correct me if i am wrong, but since they both use the same front clip, I am assuming they are about the same length from firewall to the nose...I wonder how difficult it would be to make this work, I want something different from the original nova, I just dont like the front and I think the camaro front could look cool...now if somebody has already done this please let me know, I have amnesia so trust me, I have forgotten lol

If you just mean subframes....they're the same.

[Posi12Bolt]

is that a PS?

[Young Gun]

[68firehawk]

The Venom chassy looks like it's more set up for drag rather then Pro touring. I Can't say enought about AM. They rock.
If your handy with a welder and like to do fabrication you would save some dough doing what I did...
Have AM build you a custom front sub-frame then knotch and weld it into the pan of your car. It will keep things light as well as stiffen everything up.

But I tend to be on the extreme side when it comes to cars.. HA!

It was a photochop, with the bad color blending and all.
I like both the Nova and the Camaro, but not together in one.

[Young Gun]

screw it... ZVT, you nailed it on the rendering...full steam ahead (well kinda...)

[trapin]

Camaro front clip + Nova body = VERY BAD IDEA!!!

[1Michel]

Photoshop looked wierd but the rendering nailed it stance look's much better.
Why not?
I like it.

[formula]

there is, I'm estimating, a 0% chance any real-life hybrid between a camaro and a nova would ever look as good as either of those renderings. Heck, most normal renderings look better than the car will, and that's when the final product won't be a crazy amalgam of body lines and contours. This isn't like putting an early 2nd gen front clip on a late 2nd gen...this is going to take monumental amounts of body work, effectively recreating the entire car, for it to look even remotely ok.

I say, for god's sake, don't do it. But if you do, good luck.

[vp23271]

Camaro front clip + Nova body = VERY BAD IDEA!!!

+1 (imo)

[MarkM66]

IMO, the best part about a 3rd gen is the front. It's the rear B pillar, slanted rear window and post that looks kinds off. Especially from an angled rear view.

But go for it.

I'd be worried about resale value though.

first off the it was only an idea and we talked about it and we arent going to do that, the front didnt look right, and personally i think the b pillar and the rear window make it look unique, I guess thats what i like about the body??

this car isnt going to be sold so im not too worried about resale value

[69camarokid]

i say do it! i love cars that make people stop in their tracks and take a look, those are the best ones...

... hell im even kicking around the idea of scissor doors on my 69 camaro just to piss off both the muscle car crowd and the import crowd.

remember its your car, have fun with it.... it doesnt matter what others think of it as long as u like.... go unique.

[Young Gun]

Ok after discussing the project over the past few days with my dad we are 90% sure we are going with the Art Morisson MaxG chassis...hopefully within the next 6 months we will be getting the suspension built and setup in our garage and all the bodywork will be finished and we can get ready to have a roller in the garage... the other thing is while i showed everybody on here the rendering i had done, the original idea was for a christmas present for my dad...I had it blown up and framed for him, so he got to see that today and loved it, hopefully it will help to light a fire under his butt and we can really get this project going!

[cmraman]

Anybody have any idea how to get it into the under-construction section of PHR????


PM me I can help!

[hdesign]

There are ways to get the lighter bumper effect without simply slapping a Camaro nose on it. The one Brian Stupski is doing (with the 69 nose) will be totally integrated with the fender "swoops" and everything. It's really not the Frankenstein creation some people are thinking.

I'm taking a different approach by using and modifying the existing bumpers and creating lower valences that match the rest of the body. I love the look of the Novas but the bumpers are just way too chunky for me. The only other mod I'm doing is the rear tail panel and spoiler, though I've contemplated how difficult it would be to graft in the hardtop look, glass and all, from a Camaro while retaining the rest of the Nova roof. Door posts drive me nuts!

This is pretty much where I've been at for over a year but it needs more work, especially the rear.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2008/01/garnetfire2-1.jpg

[Young Gun]

hahah Ben we are on the exact same page. I definately want to find a way to make the front bumper look lighter, but I really dont want to put the camaro stuff on there because then I will get the people saying, well why dont you just build a camaro. Anbd the door posts...ahhhh horrible...i did a quick photoshop getting rid of them an all I can say was I guarentee that the nova would have been quite a bit more popular without them...it looks amazing...and I definately like that lower valence, I have been doing numerous designs on my own time (just sketches) trying to figure out how to work the front bumper so that it works with the car, I have not really come up with anything...yours is gonna look great when it is done...have you made much progress with it?

[hdesign]

I don't think you necessarily have to put Camaro bumpers on anyway. The Nova bumpers are contoured correctly to wrap around the outer edge of the headlight. You can still use the stock filler piece under the grill if you don't tuck the bumper too far in.

As far as the posts, I think that is one reason why the Nova is a little lighter than the Camaro. (I'm pretty sure I heard that was the case anyway) The structural pieces that are required to reinforce a hardtop add weight.

Slow progress but as much as I hate to, I'm thinking of selling it. I'll probably finish up the rust removal and smoothed firewall so that stuff will be taken care of for whomever wants to take it on.

[muthstryker]

whats wrong with the stock bumper??? why dont you like it?? it looks fine on all other novas.

[Young Gun]

I just think its too chunky...it looks like the front of the car hit a brick wall in my opinion...I want it to flow and be smooth

[novanutcase]

My .02!

Look at the '67 Chevelle front bumper! I like how it integrates into the body but has enough width to still make it look like it's not off a camaro.
The rendering is cool but I think the bumper is a little on the thin side.

good call John, I had not even thought about anything aside from the camaro for some reason, the chevelle bumper is a whole lot smoother than the Nova one, thats for sure...I will definately have to consider this now...thanks bigtime!

[Young Gun]

Just got off the phone with Art Morrison Enterprise, and I am pretty set on the maxG chassis. I knew it was a longshot but I was kinda hoping to be able to get those ZR1 carbon/ceramic brakes to put on the nova but alas...I will have to settle for 14 inch brakes...I suppose they will do lol, I have had a few people interested in the bike, so when that is gone I think we will be ordering the frame...

BTW if any of the AME guys see this, I talked with Scott I believe his name is, and he did a great job, great knowlege of your stuff and very helpful. Personally its much nicer speaking to somebody to speaks clearly than somebody who doesnt mumble and mutter, Scott was extremely clear, you have some great customer service, keep it up!

[Young Gun]

Edit: pictures are too big...need to scale down...

[muthstryker]

any updates?? sell the bike?? order a frame?? buy any parts?? oo thought this was 20 questions... haha any updates tho??

[Young Gun]

Well the bike is on consignment at a local bike shop, so hopefully within the next few weeks, few months at the worst, it will be sold...

Well I have been pm'ing Craig Morrison and trying to figure out the lead time on the MaxG chassis, he told me it was 4-6 weeks so after talking with the pops we are thinking within the next few weeks we will be ordering it, Mr. Morrison tells me that it is one of their "builder chassis" which means that we still need to weld in the motor mounts, body mounts, transmission crossmember, and core support. After we have all that set up we plan on having the whole thing powdercoated. The plan with the core support is to simply bolt it in as opposed to welding it on. The idea is that we can easily remove it for easy access on the engine bay, mostly when we do engine swaps and such...

right now the body is just sitting at the body shop waiting for the go ahead... our body guy said it would take about a month, while im sure most guys on here have heard that before, this guy has delivered a number of times... this guy has been restoring a number of cars and we have seen him knock them out in good time, and he does great work.

With that said my dad an I plan on having the body work started when we order the chassis, so by the time the body work is done we should have the frame powder coated and we are hoping to have it the suspension components installed.

In other news....

I have been speaking to a few companies about sponsorships, I am not looking to get a full sponsorship just partial ones, mostly discounts on parts. The plan is to make shows like Houston/ Dallas AutoRama, a few shows in the Atlanta area (got family there so we have an excuse to go) as well as numerous smaller shows around the Houston/San Antonio/ Austin/ Dallas area's... so the car will get decent exposure... some of the companies I have spoken to so far inclue: BAER, Forgeline, and Pioneer... I have to make a call to BAER this week to speak with one of their reps about the car. I need to talk to Frank from Prodigy Customs about Forgeline, Forgeline directed me to him so I need to give him a call soon, JVC seemed interested so I need to shoot them another email...

As you can see there has not been any actual progress on the car, it has been planning mostly, I came up with a semi "official" to do list with quite a few "to do's." Hopefully it should really get rolling soon...

Also looking to do a major garage renovation soon, going through some magazines and fell upon the VAULT line (http://www.showroomgarage.com/). Really nice stuff, plus it would really help to optimize space in the garage.

So if anybody is interested in getting involved in the project (sponsors .:hint:. .:hit:.) shoot me a PM or shoot us an email at [email protected] , we would love to have more people involved!

[muthstryker]

hmm, dont you want to start body work after you get the frame? seeing how you have to cut out the intire floor of the nova and make a new custom one?? thats what i would have done but thats me, i was acutally planning on get the morrison frame but the fact that i had to cut my floors up i didnt feel like it any more since they are solid and no reason to take them all out. Thats why i think im going with the schwarts chassis, just kind of a game right now should i get it or should i not.

just keep the pictures coming as the work on the car progresses.

[NvrDun71]

Why not just stick w/ an upgraded stock sub? Or better yet a Morrsion or DSE bolt-in Sub?

[Young Gun]

haha sorry I did not make that clear... the car needs to have a patch on one of the panels and a couple other small things, the idea was that we would have him start on those and have that finished by the time we were ready to get him the frame. one of the floor pans is already shot and the trunk pan has needle holes all through it, so those have to be replaced any ways, that was one of the reasons we were leaning towards the MaxG... but yah i need to work on clarifying hahah the floor and trunk work will take place after we get the frame all situated. oh dont worry there will be plenty of pictures...I am a camera whore so no worries!

[Young Gun]

Why not just stick w/ an upgraded stock sub? Or better yet a Morrsion or DSE bolt-in Sub?

well the stock sub we had was trashed so we ditched that, and we were intitially planning on going with the DSE stuff, but we were going to do both the front and rear, when it came down to it it was close to a wash, and theres more structural integrity for a full frame chassis

[muthstryker]

haha just no myspace poses with the car pics and we will be set.

[Young Gun]

haha just no myspace poses with the car pics and we will be set.

dammit Im gonna have to go delete those then!

[muthstryker]

LoL

[Young Gun]

Well, every time I post, my little signature shows up with the title "progress thread" and i have to painfully chuckle as I realize, no progress has been made...but alas good news, it began when the body man called and said we had to pick the car up, we had been keeping it there until we decided when to have the work done on it. Well I guess he got sick of it and called and said we needed to come pick it up. Well my dad started thinking and decided it was time to get the project rolling or else it would not get done with me graduating in 9 weeks. So the plan was to order stuff next weekend and meet up with the body guys, but I have my senior prom next weekend, and I have to go vist two colleges to try and decide where to go, so we dont have time to do anything. So most of today was spent planning and making lists of what we need to do within the next two weeks, and then we should be able to really dig in and start working!

In two weeks we will be placing an order with Art Morrison for the Max G chassis. We plan on going with the Corvette C6 suspension up front... In the back we will put either a triangulated 4 bar or a three link, dont know which is better so any input you guys can give would be appreciated. Once the frame arrives we are gonna weld up the body mounts, bumpter mounts and all the other various pieces that we need on it and send if off the be powdercoated, probably black, but unsure as of now. Then we can fab the floors and trunk and have the body as a roller. Then it comes back home and we start the mock up of everything!

The body man said that it should take about 4 to 6 weeks to have all the body work finished. then again he has not started to do the custom work on the back end of it. Zee (aka ZVT) is working on another rendering for the back end of the nova and the proofs he has sent me so far have looked awsome, I will post those up when they are finished. I expect it to take closer to 8 weeks to finish all the body work and have it in primer, we are going to try and meet with out bodyman this week to try and discuss everything that needs to be done.

I am also looking for a gas cap, we are going to mount it in between the two lights like you have on Steve Rupp's Bad Penny. Sadly being the average man I am, cannot get my hands on one of Larry's awsome billet filler caps, so I am in need of a replacement. Again any input from you guys as to what I should use or any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just found RaceRodz websight and they have some pretty awsome LED tail lights. More importantly they have some that will fit a 70 nova, so we are planning on using those. We are still a few months away from actually needing them but I saw them and decided we will be using them for sure! So if the RaceRodz guys see this, awsome stuff, we will be ordering from yah soon!

The doors on the nova are going to be shaved, so I am looking for a door popper kit, I have seen the actuators and many of the components but have not found an actual kit. If anybody has used door poppers please let me know what you have found, I need some help in this area.

Another question I have is regarding SecondSkin, if the reps see this maybe they can help, when is the best time to apply the second skin products? is it while I am preparing to paint the car of what?

I did some work on the garage this weekend to clean it up and get it ready, so Ill post pictures of all that, looks much better now If i do say so myself. I will make sure to keep updating with progress and such.

[Young Gun]

Well, I have some unfortunate news which has slowed the project down to 0mph... the guy we had hoped to have do the body work will not be doing it now. I have had some renderings done so that he could begin to brainstorm what he would need to do. After looking over the more recent renderings that are more detailed, he does not feel comfortable doing that level of fabrication on our car. I think it is honestly the fact that he does not want to alter a classic car since he does purely restoration work...but thats something completely different. Therefore, nothing is happening with the project, We were supposed to order the AME frame, but now we cant do anything with it, so that has to wait. Until we find somebody to do the body work the project is frozen. I will probly be shooting some shops PMs in the next few days and see who feels up to doing the fab work and bodywork on NoGo. Really want to stay close to home, but we may have to send the body elsewhere. So if any shops see this feel free to PM me so we can talk about it. Sadly no other updates on the car itself.

The only good news is below. Well I contacted Zee (ZVT) to do another rendering for me, this time the back view of the nova. And below is what we have come up with:

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif


Sectioned Bumper
Billet Gas Cap (Located between lights)
LED Tail Lights
Dual 3" Exhaust with Square Tips
Camaro Spoiler


I also had Zee make a change to the front rendering as well, Initially it was using the Camaro front bumper, but I really dont want the car to come off as a copy of the RadRides 70 nova so we ditched that idea and we are using an original 70 bumper, but it too will be sectioned and made smaller, it does not appear to be a big change, but I am able to see a noticeable difference between the two.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Let me know what yall think, hopefully soon I will actually be able to post some updates :hand:

[muthstryker]

Cut it up and make it the way you want it. Its going to look sweet when its done. Any estimated finish date (2012?)
