Great rendering. I know how much Ben likes Nova's. :cheers:

LOL, I like them so much that I let Lenny take mine off my hands to do this build. :D

I came to the realization last summer that I just didn't have the time to do a complete build on that car. I was sick of dreaming about it and watching it sit there every time I went in the garage. I got it in 2000 with the intention of doing a major custom/g-machine. What a fantastic starting point for a car too, extremely solid, unmolested and straight.

It was taking so long that plans were constantly changing and I knew I wanted to redo a lot of the stuff I already worked on (like the firewall). I accumulated a ton of parts and dry fit a few. However, reality set in and I knew it was better off in someone else's hands to move it forward. Lenny was in the right place at the right time. As tough as it was to let it go, I'm proud to say it's in great hands and it'll be used for a great cause.

Anyway, I hope everyone follows the build. Lenny and his crew are capable of incredible work as many of you may already know. I have no doubt this car will really turn some heads. I can't wait to see my baby finished up.

As far as the design, we wanted to create a car that stayed true to it's roots and was realistic as far as body mods. It's not like this car as $300K budget so wheels, tires and paint will go a long way to update the car. I had always liked the 67 Chevelle SS hood bulges and trim detail, they would have made it onto the car if I had kept it anyway. To minimize the massive appearance of the front bumper, we added some driving lights and a larger air intake window. If budget allows, they could be tucked and smoothed as well.

I had purchased a set of 73-74 Nova door glass in order to get rid of the vent windows and make the car look smoother. Another score I made a few years ago were a nice set of flush mount/painted door handles from a late 90s DeVille/Bonneville. As Lenny mentioned, the wheels are a little up in the air right now, but they will be clean and muscular 5 spoke 17s or 18s.

Damn Ben - you beat me to it... (and thanks for the kudos) I think the car will be awesome and would love for others to get in on the build part too - if anyone is intersted- let me know as Im gonna need some extra hands to get it done.

We are trying to shoot for SEMA 2009 for it to be completed-depending on my regular shop schedule.:willy: :willy: :willy:

I see you have nordskog as a sponser I thought they went out of buisness? I was trying to get a hold of them and ran into a dead end if you have any contact info that would be great. Thanks Telly

[chopshop]

They were a sponsor. Then when the split they couldn't follow thru. Nice guys though. Don't know how to reach them.
