Project Villain Nova

[VillainNova]

Hello everyone, this is my 74 Nova, it is my first and only car and I've had it since I was 16
I am 20 now and have been working on it with my father ever since I got it. I never imagined it would take so much work but it sure has been fun. At 16 all I wanted was a coat of paint and some speakers and now it is on its way to being a Pro-Touring and killer street car. I would of never gotten it to this level if it wasn't for my dad and his friends. I have learned so much and meet many great people. This obsession started with 99 cent hot wheels and now I drive one.

I didn't know about Pro- Touring until I bumped upon the show Big Muscle on youtube and ever since then my addiction began.
Here is Project Villain.

When I first got the car the 350sbc had a 600 edelbrock carb, torker 2 intake, nothing special just enough to have fun in high school

This is when I first got the car. Now alot of it when undocumented because I didnt really know sites like this existed so the first two years have very few pictures with small improvements.

The stance is killer











What has been done:

New AMD 2 inch cowl induction hood
Body work + paint
Pro car seats
Retro Belt 4 point harness
K&N air intake
Edelbrock EPS Performer
Holley 650cfm electric choke vacumm
Com cam kit
Camelhump heads
1.5 comp aluminum rockers
Pushrods
ISKY guideplates
Grant Steering wheel
AGR 12:1 quick ration and 3000psi hoses
Hotchkis tuned shocks
Hotchkis 2" drop springs
Hotchkis swaybar
Hotchkis Subframe connectors
Suspenion was redone with energy suspension and Moog

and a whole lot more I will be posting.


Here it is with a new hood and the process throughout paint
at this point everything is still stock



First major thing done to the car performance wise was suspension and hotchkis came through<3





Gotta say it looks awesome!!

Very cool that it is your first car. Visually, for my tastes, I think a shaved front bumper really helps with the look of these. Something like this one speedtech did-

Definitely! Bumper is on the to do list for the future! This speed tech nova is actually one of the cars that inspired the build!

Added a new aluminum radiator and cooler on the frame of the car as well as subframe connectors, the subframe connectors really make it stick!!



I dont know why some of the pictures are upside down but you guys can just rotate the screen lol
