I had gotten ahead of myself yesterday and left out several pics of earlier portions of the build.
Here are a few shots of the 454 LSX engine and firewall sheet metal work that has been done.

Another item on the cut list was the roof line of the car. Stock 66/67 Nova's tend to look like the roof is running uphill from back to front. A subtle 3/4" chop in the front along with leaning the A pillars, and pie cutting the sail panels took care of that and gave it a subtle change.
Sitting next to a stock Nova you can make out the difference in the roof line. I have better pictures some where that I will dig up showing this better.
The drip rails were also eliminated and added in a body line in their place so it wasn't a totally smoothed look.

Great work as usual. Love the new body lines.
I gotta ask. With the narrowed track width, did you have to make drastic changes to maintain the geometry? Different arms or mounting points?MrQuick ΜΟΛ'ΩΝ ΛΑΒ'Ε

Once the rocker was in place we went back and re-shapped the rear portion to accommodate the side exhaust.
We fabbed a double walled stainless sheet metal exhaust tip to flow with the cars lines.

Here is the aluminum trim piece we made for the bottom of the door. There is a reveal line tipped into the piece for added dimension.
Innovator name plate was CNC'd and then welded into the front of the lower door molding.
Door molding completed (Prior to Innovator logo install)
