Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Dave, we're going to change our fuel system and delay the Racepak install to speed things along. We just want to get going, and as my wife reminds me "you said you were buying a running car so she could race" LMAO. And unfortunately, kids can't go racing these schedules when they're beginning their adult lives so I have a precious couple seasons she can race national events, when my drivers (kids) are gone I won't race NHRA because I'm not that interested in driving. Oh and #2 I can't start another project till this one is done!

We but the low back kirkeys in our 66 Nova since we have a headrest integrated with the drivers side of the cage. They are nice, and they don’t block your view.

Hey Todd...a panoramic golf cart mirror is a big help with visibility. I picked mine up on ebay for a few bucks...it clamps on the cage. -Al

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Wire wheeled the engine to clean it up a bit, gave it and the trans. a little spray bomb rebuild today. Stuck the clutch, bell and trans. together, then we set them in. Dang it's getting hot out! Left about 3 and now I'm gonna watch some NHRA from RT 66 form this weekend.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Add on switch panel that works in conjunction with the interior panel. Just so you can fire it from under the hood.
