HI THERE, IVE BEEN A MEMBER ON THIS SITE FOR A WHILE. IVE NEVER POSTED ANYTHING JUST DID NOTHING BUT READING N ENJOYING THE PROJECTS ON HERE... I FINALLY FELT LIKE MY CAR IS WORTHY OF POSTING UP SOME PICTURES... ITS A 69 NOVA I BOUGHT IT MY SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL (2007) AND JUST BEEN PUTTING MONEY INTO IT LITTLE BY LITTLE...
IT HAS A 468 WITH A TH350. I JUST RECENTLY PUT COYS C-67 WHEELS 17X8WITH 245/45 UP FRONT AND 17X9 OUT BACK WITH A 275/40 AND FULL HOTCHKIS SUSPENSION THE ONLY THING ITS MISSING THAT HOTCHKIS MAKES ARE THE SUB-FRAME CONNECTORS.
THE PLANS FOR THE CAR ARE PUTTING IN A 5 OR 6 SPEED. UP GRADE FOR 13" BRAKES ALL AROUND AND EVENTUALLY GETTING AN LS MOTOR FOR IT :)
this is how i made the car look in high school

Nice nova. The wheels look good on the car and the paint looks fairly good.

[Bryce]

Welcome. Cool nova!

[chevyhector]

Great to have you bud, hope to see more pics soon, maybe of the frame connectors install. Where in LA do you live? If you ever come by SFS you might see my son driving around in his new b-day gift, my Medusa. Well, not after May 8th and after he gets his drivers permit.

[THE TECH]

Nice project. I am helping a buddy with a 72 Nova right now. Hope to see you at a meet sometime.

[Ron.in.SoCal]

Welcome! My Mom had same year and color when I was a kid. I used to sneak out in the middle of the night and take it for a spin...

[Nessumsar]

On the brakes I would look at a C5/C6 conversion. Use the Corvette front brakes and 4th gen Camaro rears; you can get 13" fronts with 11" rear. Check out www.Kore3.com

[69nova468]

I have look at there website but im runnin a 17" wheel and i prefer a 6 piston up front and a 4 piston out back.

[Hotchkis]

69Nova468,

We have a soft spot for big block cars. Thanks for choosing Hotchkis products for your Nova. It looks like it was pretty nice as a high school car too!

[ssmike]

Welcome. I am also a Nova guy....Those Coys look great and I love that blue color.

If you are ever down in Orange County and want to check out my ls/t-56 72, shoot me a PM

[LT1Nova]

Good looking Nova. I like the wheels and color also. I like the change to the blacked out door and quarter window trim.

Do you have any more details on the hood?

Welcome to the site.

[spoilersbyrandy]

You have that Nova sitting just right. What springs do you have in the front?

@LT1NOVA
i love the way the blacked out door trim looks it makes the car look more modern. the hood is a harwood 4 inch lift off hood.

@spoilersbyrandy
