72 Nova - Soon To Be Chapter 11

[sebtarta]

So a year later we have an update .

But here is the most recent things going.

So ths summer I had the frame blasted and I painted it once I got it back. I then had help from a friend and bolted on the front suspension.

GW LCA with the Hotchkis springs and shocks. BE CAREFUL as the Hotchkis shocks are not a direct fitment to the nuts of the GW LCA. As you can see below.



But after filing off the ends of the T-Bar and test fitting every now and then, I managed to get the shocks to fit with no problem.

We then started putting the Kore3 brake setup. These would hold a set of C6 Z51 calipers and rotors as well.



Everything together.





The wheels were then test fitted, and ran into a small problem where I need a small spacer. More information here




So while I wait for the parts to arrive, I decided it was time to fix the firewall.

Full of cable



No cables, but lots of work to be done.



So there. I hope this time it would not take a full year to update with more progress.
