Chuck, car is lookin badass as always man. The shotgun's look great, they really suit the style of the car. I'm really taking a hard look at Budnik's stuff for my build as well. Whats left to dial-in in the rear? You wanting to go lower out back?

lets just say, its real sloppy. i had to do more massaging in the upper wheelhouse so i dont get any rub when getting on it hard. it rubbed a little more when i had a passenger with me making a left turn. so that tells me i have significant body roll in the rear. so once i figure out what im going to do, the leafs will have to work for now with some better shocks of course.

Looks killker!
Can you let us know what u did to the stance in the front? also looking for a measurement from the ground to the top of the wheel opening...if you don't mind.
My 73 has the 2" drop hotchkis and that is not enough.

im currently running coilovers in the front with ATS spindles and SCandC upper arms.
i had hotchkis springs about 3 years ago didnt cut it for me either but once i added 2" dropped spindles it looked perfect..however they limited rim selection and didnt help with my steering.
but looked killer
i think im right at 23.5"1970 NOVA..Ls2/Tko..Speedtech/Chicayne, Alston Glink

Looks good aside from your front tires being on backwards ;)

I love your car too Andrew! You're car for me is great from a performance standpoint whereas Chucks has you on the looks department!
Hmmm.....kind of like trying to decide between girlfriends again! LOL!

LOL! Just messing with you John. Chucks car does looks awsome but there is no reason to compare our cars. Mine is probly just a beater with a decent body when compare to his car. Originally Posted by novanutcase
