Starting another 65' Nova project

I will be building this one with my 11 year old son helping me out and teaching him some of my skills and away around the car. We had a few ideas in our heads and decided to get a rendering done. Ride height will be about 3.5" even.


We will be using a supercharged Ls2 for now.- things could change-
Roadstershop Fast Track IRS chassis
Recaro seats
RideTech triple adjustable shocks
Brakes- undecided yet-
Full cage
Paddle shifted 4l80e
Holley Dominator EFI
Infinity Box wiring
Wheels- Rushforth Rated X's for now-
18"x10"in front and 18"x12" rear

Body mods will be front and rear spoiler/ splitter
Remove vent windows
Flush mount front and back windows
Shave and smooth things as they come up.

Picked up the doner car last December

Nice project ! Looks like you know what you are doing.

[kevin_l]

Glad to see you back on the horse! Was there much salvageable from the wreck?

The engine was saved seats, 1/2 of the electronics and 2 rims.

Glad to be building another one I glad I have a solid foundation that lets me do what I enjoy!

Wow, I would have thought more was usable. Glad you're doing well and I can't wait to see what's in store for 2.0!

[waynieZ]

Glad to see you doing another one, and glad you were alright after that ride.

I love the rendering. Subscribed !

Nice jewelry to a car guy!

Not bad on weight either around 68 lbs!

[Grnova]

Ok guys, Im trying to figure out what the pinion angle should be with my IRS... any thoughts??

[rustomatic]

The rain is making me a useless link dumper today. Try the following link for IRS baselines: http://fulltiltboogieracing.com/pinionangle.htm.

On a side note, do you know what the thickness of metal is in those frame rails you have? All I can imagine when looking at them is the process of making them, piece by piece by piece . . .

Trying something new. Thought I would try making a scale 3D model of my chassis to help laying things out, plumbing wise. The floor and roll cage is next!
