      stance

      Thanks, I checked out your pics too. It looks like your 68 is almost on the road. I like the white striped against the blue. They really stand out.

      As far as the stance, I went with Hotchkis 1" lowering springs on all 4 corner. I also put on the Baer track rotors w/B-body spindles which dropped it another 1/2". In addition, I cut about 1/2 of a coil wind off the front springs to get the stance I wanted.

      I thought that car and name looked damn familiar !!!!!
      correct me if i am wrong........brent and brian are your cousins ? if so, being related to them (especially brent) you deserve one of these...

      btw,
      the chevelle is still looking damn good after all these years ! :icon996:

      UNBELIEVABLE...not that I claim Brent, but yes, they are my cousins. So how do you have the misfortune of knowing them. LOL. I jumped on your site. The Nova looks real good. Looks like you have a pretty nice Z too. Don't let Brent drive either one..he'll blow'em up!!!!!!!

      Thanks for the compliment...It is finally getting to the point where it is real fun to drive. We yanked out the 350 turbo trans and put in a Tremec TKO 5-speed, put hotchkis components throughout, 13" Baer brakes, and I am in the process of putting in a 383 because I smoked the 327!
