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

We were in the process of building a ProTouing 63 Nova for our customer when they had a major life change. Since we liked the direction the build was headed, and had been wanting an autocross toy and test car for our Speed Shop's products we decided to purchase the project...and so the "MetalWorks Mule" 63 Nova is born.
We have hopes of competing in the LS Fest WEST this coming May in Las Vegas, but with a shop full of projects, we'll have to see what times allows for...

Those floors look like it could be an Oregon car, pretty rust free.

Some assembly required...
Looks like a solid base. Looks like it is in good hands now.

The picture is not a whole lot revealing, but sure looks like a DSE front suspension (anti-roll bar component peaking out a bit, and looks like the center bore of a C6 hub unit peaking through the center of the front steel wheel)

Knowing how these cars struggle for a decent rear width tire and by the looks of how far inset this little roller wheel is sitting I am gonna go out on a limb and guess it has DSE mini tubs as well?

Love these cars. Subscribed!

I saw this car last time I was at their shop.

It has full DSE suspension, Wegner ls3, and a 4 point cage. I don't know much beyond that.
