      A small update.

      After dragging my butt for a month I fianly got my front spoiler done. It is basicly just a peice of metal bent at a unknow angle with some supports and painted flat black. To my supprise it works great, the car runs cooler on the highway and drives more stable at "highway" speeds. It has only been done for a day and everybody that notices it loves it. I also took the trim rings off to give the car some more attitude.

      Its non-adjustible. But after I lower the car some more I want to make a new version lower to the ground. Right now it is about 6" off the ground.

      I like it. It's definitely got that 'sleeper' look to it. Are those wheels stock 15 inch size? I have always loved the look of the painted wheels with the chrome center cap. I wish someone would make a 17 inch like that.

      The wheels are just 15 x7's. They started to rust so I sand blasted them and painted them black. The first night I had it nobody actually noticed the spoiler, wich is not unusual because my car dosent get many looks.

      I have several Dana's spoilers. I've been helping him sell them.

      Here is some pics of the rear spoiler. The last picture show the gap between the spoiler and the decklid. The gap is about a 1/2 inch, I plan on buying a trunk gasket and making a filler piece. Otherwise I think it looks great.

      The rear spoiler had to be trimed some but not much to look like it does. And thanks for the comments.

      Car looks great. I have a spot in my heat for 68-72 Novas. The pic below is of my last project car , 1972 Pro-Street Nova...

      Keep up the good work

      Thanks for the comments. It was a blast to drive around to car shows and stuff , scarring little children with the 4'' exhaust , it just wasn't my thing.

      The 55 I have now will be more of the car I want. Something I can enjoy allot more..

      Good luck on your project....
