So would this fit a 69 Nova?

I'm assuming you have to remove the stock rear framerails, correct? This is the exact chassis I want for my car, I'm just trying to see if I should attempt to install it myself or just have a shop do it.

Wile we know the X- body and F-body share many areas, we have not yet put the frame under a Nova, so we couldn't say for certain what those similarities are.

Of course, while everything can be made to fit, we just can't yet call it an 'x-body' frame until we have tried it ourselves.

So when I went on your site and checked the options I liked including the box for the rear IRS it came out to about 32K. Sound about right or did I make a mistake somewhere? Just seemed odd that i saw a 15k price and then by the time I put it together I was at 32K. Not that it couldn't be worth that just felt the 15K price tag reeled me in and then at the end I was wowed.

Gaetano, when fully optioned, the chassis can get up to $32,000. But there is really no need to try to start controversy. The only way to arrive at the price of $32,000 is by selecting every option/upgrade available for the chassis.

The web site is very clear and there is no intention to mislead. The web site clearly lists the standard features with a Base Price of $15,495 and shows pictures of the base chassis. There are pictures of the IRS chassis that clearly say "Shown with IRS" across the top of the picture.

Our web page has a pricing section labled "Options" after the base price. Every option has a price listed next to it so you can clearly see the cost associated with that upgrade and then make an informed decision as to whether or not you think that fits your needs and budget. I do not see anywhere on our web site, or in this post where we have indicated that a fully loaded chassis with every option costs $15,495

Every one of our competitors has a similar pricing structure on their web site, so I do not feel that you, or anyone should be surprised by how this works. $X for a sub-frame, the $X to upgrade to LS motor mounts, $X to upgrade to adjustable coilovers, $X to add to brakes, etc... heck, even the major car manufacturers have pictures on their web sites showing a picture of a car saying Base Price of $X. By the time you select the packages and options that you want, the price is twice what the Base Price was.

I am sorry if you were mislead, but that is in no way the intention. The chassis as it is shown above is actually $23,790, not $32,000 like you have listed. Please feel free to call or email me directly if you have any other questions.

Do you need a 3rd gen Nova to use as a test car? ;)
