Ok so here is one of our projects: It's a 67 4 door nova and here are some of the goods. Modified tci fron clip morrison back half full air ride. 19 AND 20 Assanti's w/ 235/35/19 and 275/35/20 The wheel base has been moved back so there is still a rear seat. Wheel wells moved back and stetched to fit the new wheel and tire (just barly). Custom tubular cage down the middle w/ custom sub frame still to be completed (after tubs). 6.0 liter w/overdrive and possible vortech. The list will continue to grow. So check it ou and let me know what you guys think. Roger hase'nt done a 4 door yet so I finaly beat someone to the punch!! L.O.L.

That's awesome! I'd be making a lot of runs to the grocery store just so I could drive that sucker! Though I would be nervous about parking it more than I am my car. :lol:

Thanks guys!!! I use 80 grit as a final knock down and then scotch brite to find the highs and lows. Here's a couple more shots of the fender opening process.

Good because I have a custom one for sale.... interested ? LOL

Mark... thats a killer 4dr with great fab work.
Why not run a fatter tire than the 275 ?
Look like you got some more room, width wise between the fender and rails.

I could run a bigger tire but then there pretty much would'nt be a back seat. The customer came by and wants to change a few things so there will be more of a back seat. I tried showing him different ways but he's paying the bills. We'll make some minor changes and he also wasn't to fond of the tubular bracing. Don't ask why!!! I'am just a fabricator!!!!

Well right when things were good. The car is on hold for I don't know how long. It sucks because it's one of my favorite cars. The customer is lodded but putting his money in other places. I hope he turns around soon. Sorry guys but until then I can't touch it.

Too bad. I'm really looking forward to this project since I too have a 4 door Chevy II. Hopefully you'll get working on soon.

Thanks Guys. I'am alittle mad myself but some day it will happen. As far as the motor it will proably have a blown vortec LS. The owner of the car is part of another BIG TIME engine shop around the corner. I don't think one of Tom's motors would go over well. The ride height is about 5 inches at speed. What you see in the pics is aired out so another 2 to 3 inches up is ride height,
