this is a car we are putting together for a previous customer, owner of the flat black twin turbo chevy II nova featured in car craft Dec 08 we built, for next years 2010 Hot Rod Power tour.

Car is an ALL ORIGINAL 1 of 20 Aztec bronze 66 chevy II Nova wagon factory v8 car. Car came from Cali and is 100% rust free and is a NICE car to start this kickass project with.

We are building this for a cruiser only. Not going to try to set the world on fire, just cover it in black smoke :lol: .

Few specs on the project..
-Motor is an 06 LBZ Duramax all stock, we may put twins on it for looks although the stock charger will make more than enough power.
-417 Intake plenum
-Air ride technologies air ride kit
-Air ride technologies triangular 4 link
-Lincoln Versie 9" with 2.70 rear gears
-built 4l80e trans with 2500conv
-stock PCM and harness reworked by me and tuned by red devil.
- ALL STOCK interior including bench seat

Here are a few pics

Wow, I thought us V-8 S-10 guys have claimed most of those lincoln 9" disc brake rears for their trucks(perfect fit just relocate the spring perches).
Nice idea for a build.

Guess I'm not the only guy on this site putting a dmax in their car now! I have an '06 LBZ sitting in the garage as well. Yours looks a lot cleaner than mine though. It's gonna be a couple years before mine is done, so I wish you luck with it. Keep up with the updates!
