My turn at a project...

[Bad94]

I have been hanging around this site for a few years now, and have been to a few events with non pro touring vehicle. And i finally sold a few projects i had and bought a 72 Nova. Brian Finch is really who got me hooked, i rode in his camaro at RTTH's and got to drive it, and it was all over.

1972 Nova
Orignal sheet metal and about 90% orignal paint
355CI turbo 350 with stall
8.5" 10 bolt with eaton posi 3.90's(what was in the car when i bought
The car had drop spindles and coils, and the Fat Man Wonder Bar out back, and now i know why they called it the wonder bar. Those were the first item to come off and sell.
17x7 and 17x9.5 American Racing Trackstars.



I have been working on the car and keeping it driveable at the same time, which is very hard. The first major thing i did was remove the stock control arms and drop spindles and coils and install DSE control arms with ATS Chicane Kit, DSE double adjustable coilovers(1st stock sub frame to have these), stock spindles with C5 brakes.

Removed the rear suspension out of the car and install a Air Bar with DSE double adjustable coilovers. The air bar fit great and was install was super easy. I also put on a set of LS1 brakes that i had laying around the shop.
Removed the bench seat for a set of corbeau seats. Ended up cutting the seat brackets down cause then were to tall.

After taking the car to Run to Music City and running the car with a turbo 350 set up for drag racing, i had to do something about that. Pulled the T56 off the shelf, ordered a quicktime bellhousing, Spec alum flywheel and Spec 3plus clutch. Before i installed the pedels i did a little mod to them that i seen Tommycomfort do to his. Took a peice of 1/8" plate and made it 1/4" wider on all sides and bend it to fit the pedels, and put a peice of non slip tape on them.

All painted the taped


I took the car to goodguys columbus and ran the auto x and did better then i planned. Then off to Day at the Strip, and i ran the wheels off the car. After letting brian finch and tom farrington drive the car, i found out that the car has alot more in it then i knew.
