Might as well post up my junk:

[Poopy]

Thanks guys!


WHeels are 18x9.5 and 18x8.5, tires are 265/35 and 225/30. They were off of a new 350z, and amazingly they fit with a ford explorer axle!

Thats sure a nice piece your building. Ill post some pics of mine when its painted to give you an idea of what yours will look like. Mine is almost ready for paint I just need to block it out and shoot the paint, which is titanium over silver.

[Poopy]

Nice! Do you have any pics of your buildup? Nice specs!

Any updates,how did you figure out the angles for the uppers,what grade are the bolts running thru the arms to be strong enuff to hold the weight

[Poopy]

I had a friend send me some dimensions of one of the popular brands of front clips, and used that with a lot of research to set it all up. The bolts on it are Grade 5, they came with the A-Arms so I would assume they are strong enough for lightweight car. No updates for a while, i've been building a link suspension for the front of my rock crawler, so the Nova has to wait!

nice work - i've alway's loved old nova's

[Chad-1stGen]

stumbled onto this post. Did this project get carried over into another post or stall or what?

[Poopy]

Kinda stalled, I moved, and am just about to set up some forms to pour concrete for my new shop. Then it will begin again!

Thanks for looking!

[Poopy]

This is how it sits now in my gravel shop.


The stance has changed since the previous pictures, lowered the front by a couple inches and same with the rear.



And I ditched my clip that i built since it was kinda boring, and had a friend build this:

[wiedemab]

That front clip looks cool. The new stance looks better too. Good luck with your shop. I'm looking forward to seeing progress on the car too!

Later,

Brandon

[Poopy]

Thanks Brandon!

[Chad-1stGen]

I was really diggin the car! I'm bummed to hear the project stalled but excited that you are still posting and will be continuing the work soon.

Good luck with the shop.

[MrQuick]

ahhh I see the crawler! sweet. Hey poop, what front do you have now?

[Poopy]

In the car? Custom made, MII geometry and spindles.

In the Crawler? Dana60...welded diff.

The crawler is undergoing extensive renovations too...if you noticed, it has no roof or windshield anymore. Going full buggy!

[bigkaboose]

Poopy I am very impressed with what you have done. I have a 63 Nova that is in better shape but I feel it may be worse because I am finding a hard time ripping it down seeing it needs nothing at the moment but driving. What happened to the clip that you originally made for it? If you still have it are you interested in selling it? It looked like it was pretty much done before you ditched it. Send me a message or an email. [email protected] I really like the custom front end you had made when you are all done we will probably be seeing the car in mag or two.

good lookin stuff going on there..
