Sandbeds NoGO project

[Sandbed]

My current project is a 63 NoGO SS. It was the first car i ever bought and hot rodded, cant say restore, the Straight 6 just wasnt going to cut it. I smoothed the whole car out and Put a cowl induction hood on it and paint it triple black to get the look i wanted. THen i put together a 383 stroker and a 700R4. I kept the stock limited slip 3:26s, for the lack of money. threw auto meter gauges in a chevy II gauge cluster and rolled on stock wheels and hub caps. Pretty funny ha. Not bad for a 17 year old back in 94. Anyways now im redoing all the suspension. The stock stuff is junk, all of it. Steering, suspension, and especially the brakes! The interior is getting redone and im adding AC. AND the hubs have to go, i can finally put some rims on it once everthing is 5 lug. Ill dig up some picks and post them later.

Looks real good.

It takes to much time to link them. valuable time i could be working on the car.

Good stuff I am also working on a 63. I just installed the mustang II front clip (for now). More pics!!!

Looks good so far. Do you have any oics of the whole car?

[Sandbed]

Thanks guys, the whole car is pretty torn up right now. Ill see what i can dig up though, maybe some old ones. I'm working on mini tubbing and puttin in the TCI 4-link right now. Not much to show.

That front end is sexy! Slap a thong on it!!!:smoke:

[Sandbed]

Finally finishing up the mini tub and rear suspension. Just still kicking around the idea of making the 4link a 3link as well. That way i can switch between the two as needed. Here is some pics for ya

Looks awesome!
Did you move those rear frame rails in?
How much rear tire you putting back there?

Man TCI shure makes some nice stuff.... GL on your build

[Sandbed]

Thanks guys,

Yes, i moved the rear frame over about 1.5" and add 3" to each tub! after measuring the insides of the tubs i decided to cut the outer wheel wheel an square it up. In all i have about 13.5" in each tub! I plan on running 335's, or as big as i can get.

I went ahead and made the 3 link conversion. Turned out nice. I'll throw some pics up when i get time.

TCI is ok, found them kinda hard to work with. Heck i still havent gotten a reply about the 9" i wanted to buy 6 months ago. I just went ahead and ordered the f9 directly from currie. Haven't decided if i'll do business with them again or not. Just my $.02.....

Any status on the build? I would enjoying seeing how this Nova turned out...

[Sandbed]

Haven't done to much on it. Had shoulder surgery awhile back, really slowed me down. Finished under the car, under coated the belly and powder coated all the removable frame and suspension. Installed most of the rear and breaks. Need to do brake lines and Ebrake before i button up the rear and move on. Once i feel up to it.
I'll try to get some pics up when i get a chance.

Really would like to get back at it.

[Sandbed]

Looks like i'm finally going to get back to the Nova. Anyone got any suggestions where i can get a rear brake line kit ( just lines, hoses and all the mounting hardware). I could piece it together, but why?

[no go nova]

Nice build but, question why not a power a power rack do you just like manual steering. Also can't wait to see this 4 link to 3 link conversion.
