Super nice car Ben. You guys are doing an awesome job. Did Speedtech fab up that console? It's beautiful work. If you have a shot of the tailpipes going over the axle, I'd love to see that - exhaust routing with the panhard bar is always a challenge.

Thanks Frank! Yes, the console was made in house.
Here are a few shots of the exhaust we took along the way when we first installed the rear suspension. With the new look this time around the owner decided he wanted to get away from the old school out-the-back look and we'll be swapping to turn downs before the rear bumper. The middle photo is a bit deceptive, although it appears real close there is ample room between the exhaust and the panhard bar.

Thanks! I should mention that we use Stainless Works universal "you build it" kits when we build exhaust. Every car has been different enough because of tank selection, tube size, exit location, etc. so the universal kits work well for us. A little patience and a cut here and a weld there and you get really nice results.

The insert is from Classic Dash and the gauges from Auto Meter. The insert is pretty nice, doesn't look like a cheap plastic blank duplicate of the original. Nice fit, texture and sheen.

We took the Nova to a car show this past weekend, it took Best Chevy Overall! We were definitely excited! Here are a few new photos of it...

Yep. At least you have room to work now. That's a step in the right direction.
