  • 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
  • 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.
  • all looks good but the afro American wheels,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
  • My 63 6cyl. was 4 lug wheels. It was a super sport complete with three on the tree and the Chrome Kleenex tray
  • @b.b.8204
    Why would do so many improvements and not clean and paint the underbody, just installed it on top of the grease and crud?
  • 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.

    I get it. Wish it were mine. What would be a ballpark figure for the rear end assembly, installed on same car?
  • It looked better with the steel wheels. Wider in the back than in front with dog dish hub caps spells sleeper. Just my opinion.
  • 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.
