As you can see it is very clean and will not take much to clean prep and coat before it goes back together. rear end is out and the gas tanks as everything will be new going together.

[Ed.Capen]

Not much left of the suspension and frame. Looks like I parked it where I shouldn't of...Frame will head to Powder Coating and then this can all go back together.

Bunch of new parts are going into this.
Ed

[glassman]

Where's it going to be at SEMA? I cant believe it will be done it time lol. Its taken me three weeks just to do a/c.....

[syborg tt]

So what Motor are you putting in it if your selling this one.

[Ed.Capen]

Marty,
It is an LT4 out of a Corvette that I had built. It is ready to go in with the tranny. Just have to get the sub frame back from Powder Coating. They need it all this week as I just dropped it off this morning.

Gives me time to address the underside of the car, the rear suspension and fuel tank.
Enjoy

Mike, It is in the HRIA/ARMO booth inside the main hall by RideTech in Hot Rod Alley. They take 6 cars each year for the inside booth to show company parts on cars from the industry. This one has a bunch of those.

See you next week for the tour, looks like I will be driving the Goodguys yellow 69 Camaro and not my 70 Camaro.
Ed

[Ed.Capen]

I received the new plastic dash bezel and have also replaced the fake clock with a tach in the dash. The tach is made by Shiftworks and comes with a little box that runs the tach right off the (-) side of coil. The new bezel looks good the old one was not bad but someone had broke the wiper switch off it at some point in its life. Installing the Retro-fit radio in the dash and that part is ready to install.

Rick, It is a Budnik new design wheel that you will have to come to the ARMO booth at SEMA or wait until after and I will post it here.

top secret...:secret:

[Ed.Capen]

Did a few more things to the NOMARO since the powder coater is taking so long on the sub frame.

Painted the whole bottom of the car and the firewall.

Now to send the TCI items to the powder coater and get all this stuffed under the car. Budnik Wheels were cutting the wheels yesterday so those should be here soon. Working on getting as much done before I leave on the tour for two weeks.
Enjoy Ed :thumbsup:

[syborg tt]

Well that ride height is going to look much better.

ps you should have used my Powder Coater you would have had you stuff back under the car by now.

[tubbed69]

Looking very good Ed,I like it:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Ed.Capen]

Picked up the frame from the powder coater. Installing the lines and suspension. Upper control arms are SpeedTech, Lower control arms are RideTech with RideTech Coil over Shocks.

Just about ready to slide this sub frame back under the car body and raise it up. Working on the TCI rear torque arm suspension now that it is back for the coater.
:hello:

[tones2SS]

She's coming along nicely Ed.
Keep up the good work sir.

[clill]

Take your time,,,,,no hurry. You still have over 3 weeks to get it finished. Maybe go on another driving tour. Maybe take the dog for a walk :walkingdog:

[Rick D]

Looks great Ed, but times a ticking!! :hello:

[Ed.Capen]

Well t was a busy weekend under the NOMARO...
The sub frame with Engine and Tranny were set back under the body and the front suspension was installed with the 14" front rotors and calipers.

The Engine is all bolted up and just have some wiring and the radiator to install along with the AC lines. I wanted to leave the stock heater box to make it look more stock.

http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w366/69nomaro/Comova/ac_zpsb9a61e8c.jpg (http://s1072.photobucket.com/user/69nomaro/media/Comova/ac_zpsb9a61e8c.jpg.html)

The Dash and Interior is getting close, just have to install the steering shaft and wheel and hook up the wiring.

I am going to fire it this week and get the exhaust done along with the final color sand and buff. SEMA looks good after this weekend.

Ed

[WSSix]

Glad everything is coming together for you, Ed. Good luck with the final push to SEMA!

[ChuckDriver]

Its looking good!

[FaBrycation]

looking great Ed! Can't wait to see it in person. Hopefully it can be parked right next to the burb!

[Ketzer]

You went too far Rob.... :lol:

[syborg tt]

You went too far Rob.... :lol:

but he did make me laugh

I also can't wait to see it at Sema.

[Al Moreno]

Hey Ed, great job. Looking more and more like something that would have come straight from GM. We need to update our SEMA thread with Nomaro. Where is it going to be appearing?

[Ed.Capen]

Al, The car will be in the HRIA/ARMO booth in the main hall at SEMA. Glad some of you like the way it is turning out.

:thankyou:
Ed

[HWY Nova]

You went too far Rob.... :lol:

..... but appropriate!

[Ed.Capen]

OK I am going to say it....If you do not like this stance you need to get off this web site!!! lol

Still waiting for the correct wheels but it needs to go for Exhaust in the morning so we will roll with these.

Enjoy.

[seancarole]

That beeeast is screaming for for some boom tubes!!!!!!!!!!!!:idea:

[FaBrycation]

Looks great Ed! Love it. I want a ride around the autocross in it

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

That looks GREAT!

and the stance looks great in my opinion... I do think that a 19 in the rear would have evened out the backs largeness from the nova booty but I aint mad at it at all.

[ChuckDriver]

Very nice!

[Leadfoot1]

2 small details.... But thats what they are usually no!??

One- are you planning on letting those outside inner fender bolts 'painted blue' or changing them out to some polished or black ones?

Two- is the interior slated to receive the wood insert in the console as in the door panels? I was thinking a maybe somtin like a carbon fibre inlay on the door panels wood stripes could /would add a little sparkle and blend a little better with the seats than the actual brown of the wood imitation... There and in the console. Unless the idee is really a resto look then i get it, but having gone so far mod wise.... Not much of a resto type!!! But id get the "spirit" if it is what your after.

Getting there.... and growing on me lol!!

Lead.

[Rick D]

Enjoy.

Ok that looks very factory, like GM made it, and the stance is killer!! Can't wait to see finished with new wheels!

[syborg tt]

The stance looks much better but one would think that Kenny took these pictures.

OK I am going to say it....If you do not like this stance you need to get off this web site!!! lol

Enjoy.

[Ed.Capen]

Thanks for all the comments on the stance.
The rear wheels are 19" so it will fill up the wheel well better than the 18" that are on it now.
There is a lot of detail work that needs finished and the bolts on the front fenders are one of those details, they will be button head stainless bolts.

Marty, it was late last night and the camera on the phone was all I had, wish Kenny was here to help but I would not let him take any pictures.

Alan Budnik sent pictures of the wheels, but you will have to come to SEMA and go by the booth to see them. They are really COOOOOOOOL!

I have to go to Charlotte for the Goodguys event next week so it will be a mad rush for the last four days to have it all done and driving for SEMA. I leave Friday, have to be in Las Vegas for Halloween....

Ed

[syborg tt]

Ed

Not fair how about a teaser shot of the wheels for the people that are unable to make it to Sema.

[glassman]

Ed, it looks great even with those wheels!!!

This car looks better in person than what the photos are bringing. I have to admit, when i saw the car in sheet metal, it wasnt doing it for me. But after seeing it painted, in person, yeah my minds been changed. It looks like the factory did it.

Ed, my offer still stands if you need....

Whose doint the exhaust?

[RECOVERY ROOM]

I like it

[DOOM]

Ed ..................:trophy-1302:

[WSSix]

Looks great, Ed. You guys have done a killer job. Now when's the dyno going to happen :D

[Ed.Capen]

Trey,
While we lite the fire in the LT4 this weekend and finished most of the list of stuff we had on the car that we had parts to finish. I have the event in Charlotte this week so nothing will be done. By the time I get back the wheels from Budnik, the Radiator from Ron Davis and the Gauges from Classic Instrument should all be here and ready to install.

We may Dyno the motor after SEMA, we will see.

Hope to see you all at SEMA.
Ed
:thankyou:

[rchaskin]

....I have the event in Charlotte this week.....

LOL, I saw the GG yellow Semi heading down today at lunch. About 60 miles away from Charlotte.

[Winmon]

Cool build Ed! I will be looking for it at SEMA. The double takes that car is going to get will be great!

[WSSix]

That's what I figured, Ed. I'm just glad you guys will make SEMA with the car.

[pahela2]

That is a very impressive build . I know it's not everyone's cup of tea , but I agree there is some fabulous craftsmanship in that car.

[waynieZ]

It looks great Ed, it should confuse a lot of people until they realize what you've done to it. Nice job.

[GregWeld]

It confuses me -- and I know what he did to it. LOL

[SlowProgress]

Most people are just going to say "My uncle had one just like it - same color even "

[jarhead]

Most people are just going to say "My uncle had one just like it - same color even "

Now that's going to be funny

[Ed.Capen]

Most people are just going to say "My uncle had one just like it - same color even "

Yeah I could start a story that my Uncle worked for GM back in the 70's and this was a concept project that was abandoned and he got it when he retired. Lol

I am headed back from Charlotte to finish the car and get it in the box to head to SEMA on Friday. The radiator showed up from Ron Davis along with the Gauges from Classic Instruments for the Camaro center console. Budnik shipped the wheels that are so cool that even Alan's wife called me to tell me how much she liked them!

See you all at SEMA, car will be in the HRIA/ ARMO booth in Hot Rod Alley.

Ed

[Swain]

I have pics of the wheels. haha

[Ketzer]

I have pics of the wheels. haha

That's lowdown right there....

[Ed.Capen]

Well got back from Charlotte, what a great event it was!!

Received the gauges from Classic Instruments with the Oil Temp as the forth gauge since the dash has the Fuel Gauge.

Also the Radiator from Ron Davis was there when I got back. Since there is not an off the shelf radiator that will work with the LT4 in a NOMARO I had him build this one so all the outlets would be right and the hoses would work.
They also put two big electric fans with shroud on the engine side. Should keep it nice an cool..

Jason, I have pictures of the wheel too...But they are going to be here today to mount so I will see them in person. They are pretty trick!!!

ED

[aidanfancystang]

just saw Nomaro on the ride tech facebook page looks good, its the same wheel option I was thinking about for my nova.

Enjoy.
Ed

So what are the best and worst comments you have heard?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

bad?... thats one of the more original builds ive seen in a long time..


the only thing I chuckle on is that they say you just stuck a 69 front clip on a Nova...

do they not notice the rear?.. lol.

I do say this the "yenko" stuff hides the rear mods slightly.. its more noticeable without them.. I love it.. but thats probably why they dont notice the rear fenderwork as quick..

either way.. bravo!

[Rick D]

Wow Ed I love the wheels, those fit perfect with the rest of theme! Let's hear some of the comments? I still like the way it turned out, it looks so clean just as if the factory had built it.

[WSSix]

x2 I really like the wheels. Good job Budnik!

Ed, the car came out great. I really like the job you guys did.

[Ed.Capen]

I received a call from the Ultima Street Car guys and they wanted to offer the Nomaro a ride at the shootout this weekend. As that is a great honor the car is just not ready yet. Maybe next year!

the car is getting lots of looks.

Thanks for all the comments.

Looks great Ed, did you get allot of interest in the car? I love builds like this, it is like Art.

Thanks, Joe

[WSSix]

Did you finally get everything dialed in on the car, Ed? Ever get that engine dynoed?

[GregWeld]

I think this car was sold to someone in BFE.... Ed may care to clarify. But I think it went overseas.

[Swain]

I think this car was sold to someone in BFE.... Ed may care to clarify. But I think it went overseas.

Yes it was sold. Heard for triple digis

[Ed.Capen]

Yes guys, it went to Japan right after SEMA last year.

I did not even get to drive it over about ten miles. The fun was building it and listening to all the comments good or bad. It was a love or hate type car but the build was fun and I got to work with some very talented guys on the build. It has been done now so that was the cool factor for me and Brian the guy who dreamed it up over 10 years ago.

I am one to build unusual things when they come up and after the 66 Mustang Fastback I have another one coming along.

Starhauler!!!

The StarHauler is going to be cool!

Well, dang. I was really hoping to see the Nomaro completed and some performance results. At the same time, that's really awesome that you sold the car, Ed. Congrats.

I think the StarHauler looks great! What is it a blend of? Star Chief and a Chevy?

I Love This Car!

Trey,
It is a 66 Ford F100 and a 1960 Ford Starliner.

As you can see the back is all filled in and it has a extra large trunk area. It has been in progress for years but I put it on the back burner for about 8 years. it has a 429 BB Ford.

I may start the build on this once I get it moving again. Ed

[glassman]

Any progress on the 69'? do tell, do tell...

[Swain]

I'd put a Jucuzzi tub out back ��

[Kcrain]

We need updated or finished pictures of the mustang. Keith

Thanks Ed. Obviously, I don't know my Fords very well. It's a really cool idea. Love the paint scheme you're going with on the outside. Please keep the engine gold and chrome. Wow! Does that look good. Will the trunk area remain open like a bed?

[Ed.Capen]

The NOMARO now rests in a museum in Japan for everyone over there to see AMERICAN MUSCLE!!

I hope everyone over there likes it. Really nice pictures!!!

[WSSix]

Great looking car. Kind of a bummer that it's on the other side of the world now but at least we have these nice pictures to look at.

[Swain]

Awesome who bought it?

[syborg tt]

That's pretty cool.

Jason,
It was a guy at SEMA from Japan and it went through a broker.

Pure Vision on Facebook is giving hat's off to you!
Thought that was cool of them.

Friends and I have laughed several times at Strope.... “I’m the first one to ever do this.....”

Yeah — sure you are.

[alex n]

Steve Stropes car is significantly better. Much better body lines. I do respect the tremendous amount of metal work that went into this car but it just isn’t that pretty. Sorry but that’s my opinion

[FaBrycation]

yeah... Ed killied it on this build! best looking 69 nova I've ever seen.....lol:headspin:

[vdrivinmike]

Yeah — sure you are.

Greg - He definitely is his own #1 fan!

[Ketzer]

I have a third Gen Nova so my opinion is extremely biased... I like'm just like they are! :D

I read the FB post acknowledging Ed's car as the first... "forgot" he saw it until his version was done and someone reminded him? That's sarcasm, right? An inside joke...?

Had a 3rd gen Nova in high school.... definitely agree with you. :cheers:

Jeff-

I can see how he forgot about it.... they actually look nothing alike. :headscratch:

[WSSix]

So I've seen Joe Rogan's Nova, but I'm not sure how this has anything to do with Nomaro. Could someone clue me in?

Strope proudly announced on his TV show (which I enjoy btw) that no one had ever put 69 Camaro fenders on a third Gen Nova.... yes, they are styled completely different...but the core idea I think would be the same? As long as Ed isnt offended and Joe is happy, win win!

I love to take bits and pieces from other designs and work them into my cars!

In fairness to Steve, this seems to be the Velocity, now Motortrend writers/producers. Nearly every show claims to the "first to ever do this" Which in most cases is hilarious.. since they are bolting in a kit from a 3rd party :D

[WSSix]

Thanks Jeff. I had to take a second peek to see it honestly. I guess I just missed it the first time. It's a good look. I'd say Ed and Nomaro are definitely different though. Both great cars. Love the work Pure Vision does regardless of if they're the first or best.
