This is my pride and joy! its a 70 Nova with a 355 and a T56 6 speed and 4.10 gears, way fast and fun to drive even at 7200 feet of elevation in Laramie Wyoming. i sold my first car a 68 Chevelle when i moved to Wyoming from Chicago in 96. i will keep this one til i die! it was flat black for a few years and my buddy and i just painted it in 7/08. not bad for my first paint job. this car is a kick in the a** to drive with a nasty small block and 6 spd Tremec and 4.10's a Zex kit and victor Jr. are in the plans for the near future. thanks for reading about my ride....

Thanks for the commment man!  Your Nova is pretty sweet!  Did you tie the frame?  What size tires are you running in the back?  I just got my 383 running in my Nova the other day, hope to get it on the road and to the track before the cold weather hits.  Don't ever sell it, I don't plan to sell my Nova ever either!

First let me say that you have a real nice car. The 68-72
Nova's in my opinion are it. I have a 70 model that is a
numbers matching car as of today. My grandpa gave it to me when he passed away. Right now it has the 230 6 cyl.
three speed on the tree. But i like what you have done to
yours. I would like to know more about your build if
possible. Thanks.
