Thought I would share a few pics of some of the recent additions to the stable. The Nova is a 70 original paint, 54k actual mile car. 350 automatic with factory air. I added the wheels and lowered it all around 2" today and put the fiberglass hood on it that I have had for yrs sitting in the shop. The Vette is a 63 roadster with both tops, factory red/red car. Really a great car to build, basically an unhit body, has a few cracks here and there but overall a nice car. The Nomad is a 55 and is really nice. Real fun car to drive. Has a LS1/4L60 with vintage air, dakota digital dash, 4 wheel disc and sound system. I also just added the wheels and lowered this car 2" all around. The 69 camaro is all matching numbers 396, factory air, and automatic. The car is completely original paint all around. Super good car... :cheers:

Nomad looks good, love the lil guy snappin his own pictures.
Nice cars

Jarrod,
Not sure yet what we are going to take to the RTTH. I usually take 3-4cars up and try to do some trading/buying/selling. I would say the Nomad since I will have the kids and its very roomy and comfortable for the cruises and the dragons tail. May take a 66LS Nova and the red 71 Nova I just bought as well to sell and trade on...

Don't tempt me with trading for one of your new cars. You know I already fell for that once.:unibrow:

I am very fortunate to have what I do. I actually work for Mars Chocolate (M&M's) as a day job and build cars as a hobby on the side which will be full time very soon. I am 32yrs old, not 80! Haha

The Nova is in awesome shape! Rust free original panel car with 54k miles. I am going to Mini-tub it and LS/6spd and leave the paint as is unless I sell it first. Not trying to sell it, but anything I have is always for sale!:)

that's EXACTLY what I would do with it- leave the body alone-very cool car- the LS with some turbos Kinda like a PT version of Urban's street racer.

Well went to the rod run this weekend and did some buying selling and trading. Bought the 70GMC truck, original paint, nice truck. Sold it the next day at the rod run. Bought the 72 Vette with all original paint and 91k actual miles, super nice car and just sold it to a friend of mine who is coming to pick it up in a couple weeks. Car is sweet, ran 80mph all the way home just a tight, solid, original car. Traded my 66 LS1 Nova for this 66 Chevelle Convertible. Beautiful car that is super nice. The big block is coming out for an LS transplant this week... Enjoy:cheers:

Thanks for the Chevelle pics. The pics do not do it justice. The paint is gorgeous in person. Cool hangin out with you and your dad last weekend. Your oldest boy is a car nut. Maybe a trade in the future:thumbsup:

383 bench seat 4spd muncie. Dart heads and forged internals. 373 posi 10bolt with detroit speed leaf spring setup in the rear and tubular upper and lowers in the front. American wheels that the centers have been bead blasted on to give it the old school look vs the polished. I will get some more pics of it, its raining like crazy here... Thanks
