      1971 Nova

      Not exactly new to this site, but just posting a couple of pics of the progress over the last couple months. I have had the car since 1994 and never really started on it. Other things came up(other projects, wife, kid, house,ect) I now have a little time and money to put into her. The plans are to make her a mild pro-tour car. DSE front and rear, tko 600, ls1, 17" wheels, and custom interior.

      Mild? I thought mine was mild, it must be cold! Would love to have the funds/time to do what you're doing. Keep us updated!

      Yes. I did not go with the front clip. I went with the speed kit II. It includes uppers, lowers, and coilover conversion. It uses the stock subframe.
