Thought I would show my progress of my project, been following a lot of builds so I figured I might as well show mine.

My front calipers just came in today, I need to send the rotors out to have them opened up to fit the billet hubs.

Hey Mark,

I did and thanks for your response I really appreciate the feedback. Man I hope you end up deciding to keep your nova I would love to see pictures of it completed.

Got the hubs painted and assembled. Mocked them on the car and everything fit great.

Nice I have a 65' Nova Pro touring car I'm about to buy wheels for. Those look great.

I can tell you have more than a minitub, how wide are your wheel wells and what is the width of your rear end if you don't mind me asking?

Here is my 65' sedan.

Love the early Nova's. That small body just did it for me.

I can fit a 335 or 18x12 with custom offset wheels. Last time i measured the opening was around 15". The frame rails and tubs are not stock. The rear end is custom as well

Car looks sick, I wish my body was that straight. What brand of hood is that?

Its been a while since I bought it but I'm 90% certain its an AMD hood. It had to have a wee bit of tweaking to get the arch to match the fender lines exactly but nothing major.

Good idea on the aftermarket frame rails I had to redo mine after the rear started to sag and creased my quarters. It was an expensive problem.

I now have the new frame rails and the rear of the cage has down bars going all the way to the end of the frame rails. When we did the new frame rails we added about 3" to the minitub so I have about 15" of room as well now.

Looking forward to seeing how your car turns out!

Last week it started over on the first try so I am pretty excited.
