SoCal_ 63 SS

Here's the start of my next build, named "All in"
I came to the name as I evolved to my final Build Plan (at least as final as these things get...). Being an SS, I started with the idea that I might just leave it alone, put a V8 in it and set it up as just a nice solid street car. Then I started considering a Pro Street or Pro Touring build. Obviously, PT is where my heart is and so once I dropped a bunch of cash on a C5 drivetrain I decided I was prety much "All In."
Build Plan:
1963 Chevy Nova SS
Scott's Hotrod IFS
Full tube chassis from front clip back
2004 C5 Corvette drivetrain (Bellhousing, Torque tube, rear mounted T-56, and IRS)
LS2 - L92 Heads, STS twin turbo setup?
As you can see from my starting point, I've got my work cut out for me. But afterall, the journey is the fun part!
