WOW, beautiful car!
I love the chrome rockers, nice touch. I don't see a lot of those anymore and it looks sweet!

Nova looks great! Can you post the specs on the wheel sizes as well as your suspension.

I agree with many of the comments here. Beautiful car and very well done. Could you enlighten me on how you built the lights into your grill. I'm planning that on my project as well and am planning at this point to set them back in the grill but yours look to be in front??? Thanks.

235/40ZR17 AND 235/50ZR18 Kumo Ecsta on Rushforth Strutters. Fronts are 17x7 with a 4.75" backspacing. Rears are 18x8 with a 5.5" B.S.
The front suspension is all original except for the air-bags. The rear suspension is also original with de-arched monoleaf springs and 2" lowering blocks,pretty simple,cheap,and effective.

Used aluminum housings. Found some that were a perfect fit for the 4" lights. Used a dremel and file to cut openings in the grill and then welded them in.The housings are only 2" deep so i couldn't set them in too deep without making contact with the radiator.They actually set pretty flush with the grill. Thanks for your interest.
