This is our toy,dtjby66's 1966 Chevrolet Nova a 1966 Chevy II Nova 2-door that is currently under restoration. The body was hit some time ago and all of the dammaged metal was replaced from a donor car and, some parts from the GM counter.

The car itself is a 5 passenger car with bench seats and was equipped from the factory with a 283 / Powerglide combo. When I bought the car, the engine was not running and the block had a 8" inch crack in it. The transmission was replaced with a manual 4-speed in its place. I removed the whole drivetrain and replaced it with a 1971 4-bolt 350

and a 200-4R overdrive transmission. The stock 3.08 gears were replaced with 4.10 gears and the rear end was rebuilt with a posi unit.

The interior will have a custom vynyl interior with matching front and rear door panels made at home. dtjby66's 1966 Chevrolet Nova

I purchased some of this carboard door panel material from a local interior shop and traced the old panels onto the new carboard and proceeded from there. I covered the door panels with some heavy duty vynyl from a local shop that they use for boats and the fabric closey matches the original material. dtjby66's 1966 Chevrolet Nova

The headliner, sail panels, rear package tray were all made from the same material.
