03-31-2006 #2Congrats on finding your ride. Where did you end up buying it from? What are your full plans for the project? I have always liked those little Novas. Small and light. Easy to make fast.

You get the idea....I'm also working with my builder to try and center as much of the mass towards the middle for better handling. I'm going to move back the engine as much as possible and put a fuel cell under the package tray. Basically try and move it all between the front and rear suspension. I may even employ fiberglass bumpers that have been chromed just to shave a little more weight off the ends!
03-31-2006 #4Thats going to be an awesome build. I will be keeping my eyes on this one and make sure you post any of your updates. Even if they seem minor, they are still appreciated my many of us even if no one replies. I would love to see more and more people show their progress pics instead of just waiting until the project is done. I like the idea with the fuel cell under the package tray. Make sure you build a "firewall" piece between the back seat and the trunk. That way in case of fire it will keep as much of it in the trunk as possible. I still need to do the same thing since my fuel cell is also in the trunk.
