Hello fellow car enthusiasts! My name is Dhamen. I live in Southern Oregon.
I have been working on a '63 Nova SS for about a 1.5 years. The car is presently stripped down to just a body. I have removed every bolt, nut, screw, and wire from the car. Rust and dent removal has begun.
Drivetrain will consist of a LS1 from an '04 Vette and a T56 from a Camaro.
Suspension I purchased from a TCI dealer. Front is a TCI MII clip, 2" drop, power rack, 11" drilled and slotted rotors. Rear is a TCI torque arm, Ford 9" housing with 9-3/8 third member, 11" drilled and slotted rotors from a Ford Explorer.
Modified steering column from a '95 Camaro. I am going to use the wiper motor from the same Camaro.
I had planned to use a Mark VIII fan but after receiving it I do not think there will be enough room for it.:dunno:
I am going to modify the dash and use the instrument cluster from a '03 Z06 and if I can figure out how to make it fit the HUD.:banghead:
I think that is all the parts that I have for now. Lots more to find and buy!:secret:
I have a build thread on Steve's Nova Site. After I look around a bit here I will post some pics here.
