      64 Novas

      I've done a little looking around but hadn't turned up much in the way of early novas. Most of what I find is for i think its the second gen nova. (66 to 72? or 68 to 72 whatever)

      Anyway, whats available out there for the early novas as far as handling /mini tubs.

      thanks for the links. I've seen a couple pics of early ones on this board, but hadn't found out what they were using for suspension or what would work/cram in the fender wells.

      the nova i had(63 s.s. convert.) had a full frame with a heidt's front suspension. i took the coil-overs out and bolted in shockwaves from a.r.t.

      the rear suspension was tubbed with a narrowed currie 9 inch rear end, ladder bars and shockwaves. it had 18x8 wheels in the front and 20x10 wheels in the rear. i was able to retain the back seat and the wheels tucked up in the fenders nicely. with no air in the system the rockers were about 4 1/2 - 5 inches off the ground.

      i did have some aftermarket inner fenders for the front so i do not know if my setup would have worked with the stock inner fenders. i hope this helps. there are alot of companies making parts for the novas now. alot also depends on your budget as well. i hope this helps.
