      Nova is pretty much done

      Here are a couple of pics of the car. Got the TKO swap completed over winter. Made a trip out to Dan Hardisons place and bought his old wheels to put on the car. I am old enough to be most of you guy's dad and the thought of those big rims and small rubber was tough to get used to. But I really like how it has improved the look of the car.

      Looks good. And don't worry, we won't call you gramps.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Just a mild 350. I have been reading a lot of forum info here and on the ls forums on the ls style motors and would really like to get hold of an ls2. I think the car would really benefit from the weight savings. There is a lot for me to learn so I just keep reading and looking at all mods you guys do. Neat stuff.

      There are a lot of LS equipped cars on this forum, they are great, but everywhere. Keep what you have, pump it up alittle, but keep it the way it is, sounds very nice.

      Great looking Nova!


      In high school I had a yellow 74 Nova with a black spray painted hood (no cash) and this brings me back!

      lol.... Maybe if you tell her we were referring to her losing the 20 years.

      I sent a pic of your car to my girlfriend and she loves your car. She's upset at me though for only sending the pic, and not the car.

      I don't think those wheels ever looked that good on my Nova.

      So, you think you're pretty much done huh? I'll bet that's what you said back in '03 when she started out looking like this:



      And was probably repeated again in '04 with the first wheel/tire change.....



      Our cars are NEVER done! Seriously Dave, the TTIIs really change the whole look of your Nova. They look great!

      I picked up a set of Centerline Meteors from another list member that have quite a bit more backspace and therefore have wider meats.

      TO: Meteors - 17"x8"- 5.5" bs- 245/45/17

      Wow cool!! Bet your car looks killer with em! No issues with rub?

      I really wish i would have order my wheels after i put my touring classics brake kit on. Not really happy with the fitment but that is ok gives me motivation for maybe a minitub this winter. We'll see.
