The METALWORKS MULE...1963 Nova autocross and test mule car.

[MetalWorksClassics]

Hey guys...good eyes, you picked out a lot the Nova' features.

The 63 has already received a bunch of Detroit Speed goodies including:
- Complete front sub/front suspension
- Rear 4 link suspension
- 3" mini tubs
- Frame connectors.

It was set-up for a killer Wegner Motorsports LS3, but it has been sold. We are leaning towards another Wegner, but supercharging this time...perhaps a Whipple.

There is currently a 4 pt. roll cage, but we will be upgrading to a full 8pt, plus a halo, drop bars, etc.

It will be running Forgeline wheels and likely BAER brakes.

Should be a fun car to beat on.

Here is how the body looked after our acid dipping process...

Wow is that car clean.

The passenger quarter had some previous damage and rust, so we replaced it.

Welding in the Detroit Speed rear suspension points.

We mocked up the LS engine and TREMEC to see how everything would fit with the front sheet metal.

Going to be A fun one to watch any ideas on paint?

Tim,

Planning on bare metal...this one is simply going to get beat on too much to put into paint...and bare metal just sounds fun.

My folks bought a '63 wagon from new.

Such cool cars to see being built like this.
