65 Nova Stock or Super Stock Help ???

Birch motor cars · 03-26-2024, 11:01 PM

I am building a 65 Nova, leaf Springs split monos (relocated inboard), mini tubbed, 10” wheel with a 28x10.5 slick. I’m assuming they won’t let this into Stock ? Or will they ? I have no front clip on the car, what’s legal and what’s not ? Can I buy an aftermarket front stub and be legal ? No motor combo has been chosen yet.

I would move this to the Stock/Super Stock section.

The tubs disqualify the car from running Stock. Depending on how much
you've moved the springs, same thing. If they are moved 3/8 or 1/2 inch
and it's not noticeable, I think you would be fine, but that won't matter
as the car is tubbed. There is no mini-tubbed in the rule book. it is either
tubbed or it isn't. It's like saying your a little bit pregnant, she either is,
or she isn't. As far as the stub, I don't know what you think that is.
Hope this helps.

The aftermarket front stub/subframe or clip is not legal in stock or super stock
