I Purchased this car in 1991 when I was a freshman. It was a factory 250 inline 6cyl with a 2 speed tranny, Copper ext and a light buckskin int. Those pics for later. Ive done alot since then.

 

In 1999 I decided to do the chassis.

All chassis fabrication, welding, sheetmetal work was done by myself. Actually no one else touches my car but me.. and my friends that help.

Wow that looks amazing. How hard is just a plain LS swap. I want to eventually do that.

Awesome Nova! My nova may get a turbo some day. So far I have resisted the temptation and kept my turbos confined to FWD V6's. Your fabrication skills are great - that engine looks incredible. Like me, you beleive "built not bought" has meaning, doesn't it! Thanks for sharing this! David

I think I'm in love. I LOVE how you kept the poverty caps. I still have mine in the garage.
