I love it, that's going to be a killer ride

 

I hope so. Its the last one I'll ever build. Ordered the wheels today. Champion Cap 5 12" beadlocked rears w 3.5 fronts.

 

They don't have car washs up in your neck of the woods?
Looks like a real solid car. Im about to do something similar to a 63 so I'll definitely follow your build. Good luck.

 

Your about the 10th person that's said that Gary. It was snowing like crazy when I brought the car home. It was in an enclosed and I didn't feel like unloading it, pressure washing it and dragging it back in and tying it back down again. Lazy.

 

A '65 Chevy II, that was the first car I ever built. I can possibly save you a lot of money....you want to sell it like it sets?

 

SS nice find , keep the progress coming , i love that car .

 

Got a lot done today. Leaving for the chassis shop on Monday.

And the progress continues.............





On order

 

I thought you were just hoping for some tens, I can see this getting out of hand in a hurry.

 

Looking good! I love the 67 nova more than them all but this year is growing on me. Keep em coming! Turbo lsa?

 

Very nice build

 

Off to the chassis shop today



Its home for the next 3-4 weeks

Can't wait to see more progress!

 

Come on Rob, where are the next set of pictures?

Andrew

 

Not a ton of progress to show...........unless my leaking bank account is progress. Got the truck motor home. 20,000 mile LM7. Got the turbo package ordered from Lil John. Picked up my wheels/tires today.........that's about it for now.

 

Wheels look good Rob.

 

Thanks Andrew. Shitty camera phone pic. They look way better in person.

 

Whats the plan on the lsa motor ?

 

I did a bunch of research on them, and while they are attractive combo's, there is also a lot of expense after the motor purchase to make it all work. I also found out that GM is having warranty issues with the front snout bearing/coupler in the ctsv's and people are waiting weeks for warranty repairs. I figure I would be shit outa luck if I had a problem with my crate motor. I have purchased a 20k LM7 truck motor, and a turbo package from Lil John, and we're gonna see if we can't put 650 to the ground and make it live. Should be fun.

 

Non camera phone

 

Keep Us Updated , I love the car

 

Like the wheels. Gona be nice

 

Bump for more updates.....

 

Sweet. Updates??

 

Just had hernia surgery so I'm moving gingerly. The chassis guy has taken his family to Tennessee for March break, so not much going on this week with the chassis. Engine parts are arriving and the block and heads are being hot tanked as we speak..er..type. I will be dropping off the last pieces needed (pushrods/cam bearings) to reassemble the motor at my buddies place tomorrow. The damaged wheel from Champion has arrived (damaged during shipping and sent back) so I'll go pick that up. For the most part, I am useless for the next few weeks, so I will just keep planning and ordering pieces as they are needed. I guess at this point, I'm just a general contractor! lol!

 

Chassis fab has begun...........

Rear housing just before back braces go on.


Beginnings of the moly round tube chassis ..

 

Nice Build. Love the early nova bodys
