      finaly got my 67 nova!!

      i looked for a real long time for a 66-67 nova and finaly scored one.. i had to drive all the way to sacramento to get it from central oregon but it was worth it cant wait to start the body is real straight has rust in trunk - ill do a new pan there .. and it has rust in the pass floor boars which ill patch and weld in new sheet metal there.. i do paint and body work and build engines im ither gonna black it all out or its going to be charcoal ... the car is gonna get a 350 with a turbo 400 and a t76 turbo with a blow through carb ..

      im real tied up on the front suspension on what to do i dont carve corners hard like alot of you do.. the chris alston is supposed to be the best but its by far the most and im not sure ide utilize a real high front end like thatwhat are your guys thaughts on the sub frame front suspensions these days??

      the rear i think will get 4 linked mini tubed narrowed 12 bolt and possibly notch the frame to fit some 315/30/18s i want 335s in the rear but i cannot afford to back half the car just to get a few more inches of tire..
      what 4 links are good out there these days that will allow me to notch the frame and keep my back seat?? here are some pics

      Makes me wish my old '67 Nova. Looks like a good starting point. Good luck!

      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?

      it was originaly from lincoln the guy said... i got it from antelope...
      some one listed one that was a 66 in frisco bay area and i wrote him and sayed i was really looking for a 67 but his 66 would do... i couldent come to a decent price on the 66 with him so ...the guy with the 66 gave my number to the guy with the 67 and i bought his.

      there a pain to find if your looking for a project most of them are allready built.. but i looked on craigslist.com daily in the bay area sacramento and redding and i found one those 3 areas have lots of cars i would try that ....craigslist is a good source but you have to check it alot cause people snag the deals quick there!
