      Not sure if you've seen this Nova over on Steve's Nova Site, but I think yours would look wicked with fenders like this.

      Wow, that is a pretty cool rendering. It has all of the cues that I want on my car, although the flares I am planning on will be more round and bolted on, more of an industial look.

      Cool find.

      The ride is pretty nice, it doesn't beat you up. You do feel all of the road irregularities, but I only have KYB Gas-Adjusts on it now, so I'm sure the ride would be much better with a set of nicer shocks.

      On another note. I was very happy with how the car handled at RTTC. It was very neutral and I was even able to induce oversteer without a Posi. I will be adding one 1/8" shim to the front and back of the UCA to gain some static camber, as the pictures I have seen shows it could use another 1-1.5*.

      Hey Jon, do you have any side shots of the car? And what size wheels and tires are you running now exactly?

      When do you plan on doing the fender flares? I'm very anxious to see it.

      Does anyone offer a sort of universal fender flare like that? It would beat having to make the entire thing myself if I can just modify one

      Sorry for the lack of updates guys! I haven't started on the flares yet as I have been out of town the last 3 weekends.... I did install a set of HID H4 bulbs, and what a difference! My AutoPal housing keep the light where it should be, so I won't be blinding other drivers.

      We also did a little something with some spray paint, but I'll let people see it at Delmar first; don't get yourselves worked up, its something small.

      Im glad you guys did this. I have been thinking about doing something like this for my car as a means of correcting the lowered front end geometry without having to go with a drop spindle. (nobody makes one anyway). Rather than lowering the UCA for the Shelby drop, I could raise the lower arm, lower the car and have the same effect with a lower center of gravity. Thoughts?

      Chris,

      At ride height is you LCA parallel to the ground? If so the only way to lower the car is raising the LCA or spindles ( but thats not an option for you).

      Here are some more recent shots of that other Nova after paint. Maybe his flares will give you some ideas. Hope to see yours get started soon.

      At ride height the LCA angles up. I can take the shelby drop back out and raise the lower an inch which will help some but I dont know if it will be enough.

      Just got back from the Del Mar Good Guys. Finished 3rd in the "Street Machine" category ('55 newer)! The car handles so much better now, with a few adjustments and some decent shocks it will be amazing.

      The wheels are 17x10.5 '03 Cobra replicas; they are 5x4.5, I am using a 1" adapter in the front and a 1.25" in the rear.

      Previous to the modifications, the front sway bay was far too stiff. It also didn't help that there was not a rear bar to even out the roll stiffness; by adding the larger tires and a rear Hotchkis bar, the car is almost neutral.
