      Thanks. I used the stock shifter from the TR6060. I didn't want to reinvent the wheel. I had them make the stock shifter longer and bent it to a position further forward but the Hurst shifter put it back to
      where it was before. I am making a bracket that will position it in a more comfortable position.

      Thanks. I'm very pleased with everything. The quality truly is top notch. The welds are as good as it gets, the panel gaps are better than my new Mercedes-Benzes, etc.

      I didn't like the position of the shifter so I had a bracket made to bring it up and forward as well as expose the "Hurst" on the shift lever. Cupholders were also added. I did say I plan to use this car often.
      Finished up the first list of long-term-project bugs. We'll see what else pops up in the coming weeks. Trying to get it ready for Goodguys next weekend.

      It's a Driveshaft Shop setup using the front flange. I don't have pics of the whole setup, but here's one Jesse took of the front section when they were assembling it:


      Still have a bunch of bugs popping up, but nothing major. I'm planning to stab the Tick Performance Stage 2 cam soon and have it retuned. Stay tuned for vids...

      I wasn't 100% satisfied with the rear ride height. It had too much rake for my taste. Went ahead and lowered it about 1.5" and it sits just how I wanted it to now:


      Already scheduled the cam install in January.

      Good looking Nova, especially with the new stance. The other rides are not bad either.

      Very nice build!

      Was wondering how the front 9.5" rims fit with your stock subframe? Any rubbing/clearance issues?

      Thanks

      It's all due to the ridetech TruTurn. I get a tiny bit of rubbing where it kisses the subframe in lock-to-lock turning situations. That's the inside. The inner fenders and fenderwells were modified on my car to avoid rubbing in that area.

      I was worried the headers would radiate too much heat underhood, not to mention the steering box was very close to them, so I got around to getting them powdercoated. I went with a high-temp black finish.

      Got the cam stabbed at a local shop called Hammer Performance. Waiting on final tuning. Finally sounds like a true musclecar:
