SBNova's 1971 Chevrolet Nova


These are some pictures of my friends 1965 Chevelle. Its coming along nice, but needs quite a bit more work.

You can see where we changed out both quarter panels, and replaced a portion of the panel below the trunk lid. The whole trunk floor is also being replaced. We are widening the wheelwells for the modified frame.

Here is a shot of the frame. The rails were narrowed in the rear to fit a 12" wide tire, and a ladder bar/coil over suspension was welded in too. The whole frame was sand blasted and painted black, but its dirty in the pictures. It has four wheel disc brakes, a 9" Ford axle with a locker and 3.73:1 ratio. The block is just for mock up, the trans is a built t-350 from my Nova before I put in the 2004r OD.

UPDATE 6-23-04
Work continues on the body, and the engine is going together. Here are some pics;
