1971 Nova Build ??

[Kiquee71]

Little update. It's always nice to get things delivery lol. Cleaned up the brake pedal assembly, tilt steering from a member here, steering wheel Budnik also from a member here. Thanks guys nice products you have. Next, make a bracket for gas pedal. Waiting on a new Miller Dynasty 210 DX to help out in my projects here in the ole garage.

Finished up a welding cart for the new machine that will arrive this week. Can't wait to start messing with it

That's a nifty little cart!

Nice work!!!

[Kiquee71]

It worked out great

Finished up the bracket I needed to install my DBW gas pedal to somewhere close to original spot. Not too shabby I must say.

Looks great! I like the fact that you're trying to keep the pedals matching.

This car is awesome

Well it's been 5 months since I've updated my progress, but I've have been working on her. I've been working on the passenger inner fender well to give the tires some room to breath lol. Will post those photos later cause I ran out of sheet metal. I notch the frame a bit to clear the tire when in full lock so it doesn't rub. I'll get back to it when I get some more material.







: update. I've decided to add some reinforcement to the area I notched out in the frame. It's been mentioned to me to do so, but after some tossing the idea around I did. Wouldn't hurt right lol

Is the frame clearance still good through complete suspension cycle?

Peter, I did raise and lower the car the best I could in the garage to determine clearance. Didn't take out much, definitely better than it was before. Just wanted a little clearance from the frame. The drivers side is going to be tricky cause of steering box, might have to move one of the steering box bolts to top of frame cause the cut will go into the lower bolt in the frame. That's a little ways out till I get that stage. Thanks for the asking cause I don't want to make a mistake that already has been done.

Ok the passengers inner fender for tire clearance is complete. After bolting it back together I'll jump over to the drivers side. Getting more done since work has been slow, so I'm tackling as much as I can for now.

[Kiquee71]

Finished up driver side frame notching and it came out better than I thought it was. It will do and might still rub a bit, but not like before. Steering box bolted up nicely too. Next, driver inner fender well modification.

[Kiquee71]

Ok, driver side inner fender done!!!! Scratch that off the list of modifications to do. Onto the next one. More to come later. Maybe by end of year I'll be looking for a shop to do the final steps, body & paint, upholstery, wiring and give it back to me turn key lol. Well that's the plan anyways.

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Nice work, looks well thought out and I like how the mods are effective but hidden. Thumbs up!

Clean work on the frame notch! We take it you're liking the Dynasty so far?

Thanks Centerforce. I'm loving the Dynasty. I did some rework on my side marker lights that I didn't like when I welded it up with my mig. It came out so much better with the Dynasty with little sheet metal warp.

[Kiquee71]

Finished up the welding on the exhaust system and ready to install back into the Nova. Making some progress on my list of things to do, moving on to the next one. The bumpers are next, a little tuck, shave bolts, just looking for a cleaner look. More to come later.
