truly a work of art.
-
Underside of the body should have been finished. But definitely a sweet little car.
-
My 194 drove me all through high school then I upgraded to👍
-
very nice, I'm about at the end of my own 63 build, been a year and a lot of work but worth it
-
Damn, I wish i could have scored all those original parts!
-
Beautiful nova upgrade. What was the black used on all of the parts? Any paint numbers? Thanks
-
Great job,but even now more classic chevys are being done with LS engines and now powered electric motor conversions tech is changing fast.new is cool but I still like old school.

My 63 6cyl. was 4 lug wheels. It was a super sport complete with three on the tree and the Chrome Kleenex tray

From what I understand, When the Nova first came out with the inline six, Chevy had instructions available how to swap in a chevy v8 in there. I just don't understand why they bothered with the inline 6 at all. If they wanted fuel economy, they could have just dropped in a 283 in there instead.

Why would do so many improvements and not clean and paint the underbody, just installed it on top of the grease and crud?
-
I give it 10 thumbs up just for having an ACTUAL carbonator on it ...
-
It looked better with the steel wheels. Wider in the back than in front with dog dish hub caps spells sleeper. Just my opinion.
-
I get it. Wish it were mine. What would be a ballpark figure for the rear end assembly, installed on same car?
-
Two big down sides of the early Nova's, small engine bay and no room for a wide or taller tire. You can add all the HP you like but if it wont hook it's going to be slow.

👍👍👍👍👍✊✊✊

wow
-
The rims give it away...
-
Why do you have 3 inch exhaust on a mild small block .
