project "JAW DROPPER" photo updates

[badbrad900rr]

Just getting started good on this project, its a 72 nova, currently having a custom 4 link set up installed with a strange 9" housing. I have already installed some new sheet metal including door skins, driver side quarter panel, outer wheel housing, DSE wheel tubs, floor pans, firewall fill plate and new hinges. It will be sitting on 19's and 20's, with a LS7 & a 6 speed tremec with 3:73 gears, power windows, vintage air, baer brakes, 15" and 14" rotors, tubular upper and lower control arms and power steering. That is the vision! So far it is slow go! I want the exterior to remain mostly stock looking with mild modifications but everything else to be "jaw dropping". Here are some pictures of the progress so far from day one to current day. enjoy and comments welcome!

Good name for the project. With that ride height, you're sure to drop some jaws.

Talked with DSE and resolved the problem.

Brad. Paint my hood or I will no longer log into PT for you and edit posts. Or else I'll log in and make all kind of gay references on your behalf.
