1969 Chevy Nova
Hello all, I am about 40 years young, and I am the second owner of this nova, I was at a yard sale about 10 years ago and found it under a tarp, It was not in running condition then, It needed a carb rebuild and some tranny service, It was completely stock when I got it, with a stock 2 barrel 307 and a power glide tranny, bias ply tires with dog dish hubcaps.
Since I have owned it, It has gone threw many changes one of the most time consuming changes was mini tubbing it, I got the offset spring hangers from comp engineering, and multi leaf springs from a donor car
Then i cut the wheel tubs in half and added 3 1/2 inches to them, then i had to move the frame rail inward too so it would all line up then their was no room for the stock gas tank, So i called up my good friends at Summit racing and got a 16 gallon fuel cell, and sunk it down in the trunk
After a few months it all worked out, and i got lucky finding the rear centerline rims on eBay, they are 10 inches wide with 7 inches of backspacing, I am still looking for a narrowed rear axle so i can have rims with some decent backspacing but these work for now.
The trunk still had enough room for a serious stereo system, I really like my tunes and the 3 fosgate amps and kenwood deck and pre amp deliver the tunes.
I made a filler neck for the fuel cell, and moved the battery to the trunk, that little nitrous bottle is really a capacitor for the sound system,
The engine is still the 307, but i just got my hands on a 350hp 327 with a steel crank and pink rods so thats what i am working on now.
The car is still under construction, i hope to have the engine done soon then i can focus on the body work and painting it.
Thanks for looking
