I lurk around on here alot but do not post much. You guys build some crazy stuff on here. Here are a few pics that did not make the article. I have another Nova a 71 SS me and my son are going to build it will be his first car. I am going to start a thread on it when we begin the build thread. Let me know what you guys think of my Nova.

I am making a few changes to the car over the winter, I am going to add AC and swap the drive set up on the blower over to the cog style.

Wheels are actually the same color Orange thats on the car, Some like it some don't. I have had mixed reviews on them. I like them cause the are different.

Wheels are actually 18x8 in the front and 18x10 in the rear..

Thanks for all the feed back guys!

Maybe they're growing on me. At least they're different. :thumbsup:

The whole car is Chevrolet orange, the same color as the engine color not hugger orange. Its kind or hard to describe. More or less you could just say its Crayola Orange...The pics make it look darker than it actually is.

The ac will mount in the conventional passenger down low location, I notched my sub frame for it already. I am going to be swapping the cog drive on to it so some stuff is going to have to move around, I am going to fabricate a new core support and swap inter coolers.

I've got a 70 Nova that I painted a wild color, and your car impresses the hell out of me. I love the wheel color matching the car itself. I bet that motor puts out crazy power. Have you dyno'd that motor?

We dynoed it twice. The last time we dynoed it it made 775hp and 750tq on 18psi, It should put out around 21 or 22 but I am having belt slip issues. That was on a Dyno Dynamics load bearing chassis dyno. The 8 rib serpentine setup will not support my power. I am going to have to go to a cog drive to see full boost. I tryed making a pull while we were on the power tour but the wore out belt i had on the car would not make over 10 to 12 psi.

Awesome Nova. I love the wheels, I'm used to seeing everything black centered with colored lips or lip stripes. Looks fantastic! :thumbsup:

Well the set-up looks great and aparently performs just as well. Great Build!

Congrats. I've had my asp handed too me many time by a Nova in high school. They always hooked up well.

I'll bet this car hands out a few spankings also!!

I have thought about powder coating the bumpers body color and doing all trim in that grey color thats on the wheels or flat black.
