Normally if I see something I don't really like - I just keep my big yap shut... but... LOL
The side treatment made me take a double take... 'cause I was sure it was a 66/67 Nova - but my eyes said it was a Falcon....

The Pro Ride Nova is shaping up! We just finished fitting the front sheet metal using Metrom Performance brand new Billet aluminum air frame hood hinges and hood adjusters. They fit and work perfect on the new Heidts Pro G front end. All parts used on the Pro Ride Nova are available through Route 66 Muscle Car Parts (http://www.rt66parts.com)

That Nova is amazing. I love those inner fenders. You are definitely on my list of shops to look into doing the metal work on my car.

Did you make the inner fenders, or are they sold by Heidts.

The inner fenders are sold by Heidts - They are included in the package. This is the first Pro-G Subframe for a 1962-1967 Nova from Heidts and there are no complaints from us - We are one of the largest dealers for Heidts and have installed numerous Heidts Products and never had a problem with them - Everything fits and looks amazing!
If you have any questions give us a call - (815) 462-0090

I Like It!!!:thumbsup:
Clean, functional and not overdone!
Really like the graphic. I also think adding a charcoal insert into the wheels spokes like the rendering would give the wheels some nice texture.

Car is absolutely stunning!
Did you guys move the firewall back to increase clearance around the back of the engine, or did you actually set the engine back? Nevertheless, firewall is beautiful!

Yes we smoothed the sides out and moved the center back for future installation of a super charger. We did the install and the motor will clear all components to the stock firewall. Any other questions feel free to contact us! Glad you like the car!
