Another new guy from Michigan?

[cstjohn73]

Just wanted to introduce myself and my ride. i have a '73 Nova, orange with black vinyl top. My son and I were at Motorstate Challenge 2010. We had a blast! Gingerman won the battle. I'm pulling the motor this week. It was 37 years old and had sat for quite some time. I have done a lot of other mods to it. First was Pypes stainless steel exhaust, new vinyl top installed by Mike & Betsy Carr (they are very talented at interior and upholstery), next was new brakes by Wilwood & Frank at Prodigy, 2" drop by DSE, New Gen Dominators and BF Goodrich KDW tires from Jon and Justin at Driverz. I also have solid body mounts and subframe connectors left to do. I started in Spring 2008.

This is my first try at car building. My son helps me quite a bit and we have a great time.

We've really only driven it the weekend of Motorstate and with the rod knockin' on the way home wasn't my idea of fun. This year will be better.



Thanks for reading my post and best wishes to everyone in 2011.
