      CHevy Nova frame spacers, who has them?

      Hello, I need some help please.
      I have been looking all over the place for the frame to body spacers.











      I need two of these, none of the restoration companies know what I am talking about. From what I have read, the Novas were the only cars that had this spacer and it aligns the body, fender and radiator support.

      Does anyone have any of these as extra, can make them, something? Thank you for your time.

      you can have them made or restore the ones you have. most laser or water jet cutters can do that no problem.

      Well the problem I am having I only have one. :(
      I found a place where they have the same size just 1/4" thick. I was thinking about just buying 4 washers, weld them together and call it a day.

      If they don't have to be round, you can buy a stick of 1/2" flat bar and whack off a few pieces, then drill the correct sized hole in them....or get out the blue tipped wrench and burn them out to the diameter that you need.

      Well I had Kore3 cut me some spacers. They are perfect! Call Tobin and ask him for a set, he will be more than happy to do so.
      Here are some pics.

      I spoke to Tobin yesterday, who was just as helpful as everyone on pro-touring made him sound, and he said that he would produce more if there were enough interest to justify a production run.

      X-body guys and gals: Demand these. I need a set, plus they look tasteful and functional.

      I'm in for a set. Anyone else?
