Re: Nova chassis question
Since I assume your rollbar is already tech approved adding braces to the rear shouldn't require 6" plates top and bottom. ---Trevor

Re: Nova chassis question
If you haven't seen Adam Keir's Nova you should contact him...Ken did a unbelievable job on it....know it's a cage car but lots of ideas there, may be a little over the top if you're looking to just modify what you have.

Re: Nova chassis question
Mat, Ross sent me an email with pic's of the trunk bars in our Nova and I can forward the email onto you if you like. I will try and post some pic's if I can figure how to transfer them from the email to here, Henry.
