Default My Latest Nova Project......

1971 6 cylinder converted to a ZL-1 427 backed up with a TKO 600.

Car has 6,000 documented miles.

I am likely to sell this car because it is almost too nice too drive and I still have my '69 454 car.

I need to get some interior shots, but this is what the exterior looks like now.

I am debating swapping a flat or SS hood onto it.

I like it! I really, really like it! Not crazy about the bumper guards though, but I'll tell 'ya that front chin spoiler (Camaro?) looks really good on there. I don't think I've ever seen that done before. Great job though!

Nice Nova. Those new L60-15s that Rusty Small is working with Kelsey to make would look nice on the back (would they fit? ). Maybe with some Cragars on the back too!

I am torn on the chin spoiler. I like it from some angles.

I will say it is growing on me though. It makes the car look as though it is sitting lower to teh ground because it closes up the gap between the ground and the bumper.

I will admit that while we have built a lot of cars for our collection this one was mostly done. The attention to detail is what made me interested in the car. I have never seen so many fasteners zinc plated and so many components powder coated!

And, thanks for the compliments.
