I have been lurking here and pro-touring.com for a while, and after much looking I finally found a car that I think will be a decent start for a project, so I decided I could now join. Its an average 1972 Nova with inline six and powerglide. Short term plans are to try and get a little better handling with mostly stock suspension, and get more power into it via a LSx conversion...I hope. It will eventually need some body work (for example the crease in the door), but it isn't anything major, so I am not too concerned with that for now. Long term plan is to do a complete rebuild of the car. But anyway, I will go ahead and get to the pictures.

Welcome---you already know this is a great place--but what the hey, I'll say it anyways. The car looks straight already from the pics---what are you going to attack first?

That's a good question... I think I will probably do something about these 4 drum brakes first, however, I am really itching to get a LS motor in
