      1969 Nova rebuild Central coast California

      1969 Nova Bought from Chevrolet dealership Arroyo Grande, CA Car has been through just 3 owners. Ive had the car for about 18 years bought when I was 14 .



      Time for a full rebuild. 360 Chevy , 10 bolt rear end Dutchman axles. Upgraded from drums to New wilwood disc Brakes . Upgraded to power steering , going with a Hydro boost unit. I want A/c but will wait until I get the car back on the road. Had to rebuild firewall, just a few spots that we had to replace metal on the body. Cut out a few sections of flooring . Th-350 I will upgrade if the transmission ever goes out. Same with rear end, but I’ve had great luck with this rear end so far.

      Off to Body/paint. Dropped the car off last week hoping for 1-2 Months total. After taking the last year to screw around in my garage and save up the $DOE to get the nova to a real auto body shop. paint jobs are double what I had originally expected, and I realize I don't have the space or proper equipment to do the paint myself. I'm saving up / researching for the new wheels/tires to get the car more of a pro tour/ driver operation. I'm stuck on Weld RTS-70's at the moment. 17's , go with a 9/ 9.5 in rear and not sure yet for the front, possibly a 7 or 7-1/2. tires are also a hard decision do we go Toyo R888R, BFG Rivals , mickey Thompson's. or other.

      Following along for this project.

      Nice looking build you have going on so far.

      I'm hoping to have my 1970 Nova on the road in a month or so.

      I had this problem too. When you take photos with it turn it so the home button (or bottom of the phone if you have a newer one) is in the 3 o'clock position.
