well , finally got around to building this 66 Nova and decided to basically do a back half but only for a 29 x12 x 15 inch tire ( CAUSE I HAD A SET HERE - but looking for pro touring tires & wheels )

anyways , i got quite a bit done in the past week so heres some pictures.
IF all goes well , i will have this ready ( black satin ) for the Power tour when it comes through here !

Still have the cage to do , frame connectors , and floor
will be using a Buick Grand National rear at this point.

this was a car i got off ebay last fall for 2500 $ and no-one stepped up to buy it so i started cutting a few weeks ago.
lots of work left but its fun doing it !

i think when its all done , i should be able to keep the project UNDER 10K since im doing it all myself and labor is cheap that way !

Cavin , you aint right ... posting a picture of my old car to get me busy !

I working on it , and i hope to have the cage in it and back on the grond by the end of next week.

i dont want it to look like my black 66 , i want it to be more PT style than i do a 9 sec street car.
I have to figure out the front end ... stock , heidts , or fab up my own , just not sure yet and i need to find more parts.
( AND MORE MONEY )
