The blasting process before paint really made a mess of the underside of the car. It was driving me nuts so I pulled it apart to do over. I was also sick of the under car exhaust exit, so I made some tail pipes. These should help keep the bottom of the car cleaner as well. They are 3" and were kind of a lot to package back there.

I had the rear end housing powder coated again, along with a bunch of misc stuff. Also upgraded the diff with a 1350 billet yoke. So with the powder coating, painting, and new bolts, everything is nice and clean again. Soon to be ruined first time out but oh well.

Next up is the front of the car. SPC uppers and lowers, screw in upper ball joints, DSE 550 lb springs, Vari Shocks, ATS spindles, and Baer brakes. The goal was to get more caster from the original setup, this should do it... Also paint and detail. Still waiting for a couple things to show up. I will update once I get it together and aligned.

Good looking Nova, and nice work with the detailing. Looks very clean! Curious whose leafsprings are you running?

Thanks! the springs are from Hotchkis, 2" drop. I added an additional .75 lowering block.
