      69 nova is the los angeles area

      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

      but then i got tired of the straight aways n loved a corner carving muscle car



      what do u guys think?
      paint and interior are last on my list.

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

      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.
      Love your Family N Life itself.

      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

      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?

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

      @ssmike
      i would like to check out ur nova as im going to end up pulling out the big block and tranny in my car n i plan on dropping in an ls3 with either a t-56 or rs600..

      @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
      my nova is running nothing but hotchkis suspension, there tvs kit with there tubular a-arms. it sits about 1/2 inch lower now since the suspension got broken in. i love it
