      oh ok. Now when you do your rearend you need to buy new axles. Just check with the shop that is going to do the work. where are you?

      Front is a 275 on a 17x9.5 6" backspace rim. I doubt you will get the same results since my frame,fenders and wells have been modified to fit it all. On a stock frame 245 45 17's on a 17x8 4 3/4" -5" backspace rim should do better. You will have to measure your car to be sure.

      I appreciate the info Mr. Quick. I'm working on the floor pans on mine now but will soon be on to the quarters, tubs, and rear suspension plans. Very helpful pics on your site. I'm thinking of trying to make my own tubs though, just splitting the stock one and adding a strip down the middle. This would make it a lot cheaper.

      Im using a stock tank and Landrum leaf springs which are not as wide as a stock ones.
      Digging up some old info.
      What's the specs (part number) on the Landrum springs you used?

      What was need to make them work on the Nova?

      Thinking seriously about going this direction.

      Thanks!
