Looks great

I'm working on the Nova this morning, getting ready to get the motor out...............and I'm about as far as I can go as I wait for someone to help me lift it out.

Not much I can do so, in lieu of getting into the beer, I'll post some pics.................

Parts have started to roll in. The hydraulic clutch set up, I frankly was never happy with. It always seeped brake fluid, and did not allow me to adjust the clutch as it wore (I probably have been a bit rough on the clutch [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img])

I found this set up the mounts the slave like they do in the 1st and 2nd gen F bodies, should be much stronger than what I have mounted to the firewall.



I also found this slave set up. Rather than the slave in the bell housing, this mounts to 2 of the bell housing bolts...............and then utilizes a conventional fork and thus, adjustable.



I am going move away from a fixed proportioning valve, and install an adjustable for the rear brakes. This will allow me to clean up the plumbing as well. These 1st and 2nd gen Nova's are difficult to get full throttle out of. This Lokar pedal in a nice clean install and will solve any operational issues.

Had to do cable pedal too.

I found my victim here this morning......................Actually, Tracey helps me with this rather often.

She was actually glued to the Fezell cars (I DVR'ed the Saturday coverage)





And were out!
