I'll have another update coming soon (rear suspension and brakes), but work has gotten in the way. I do have another new video and I think some of you will dig it. It's how I pressure test AN hose (it's easy-peasy!):

Here's an update on my Nova project. This time around, it's about the rear suspension. The concept here is to try to make it work on the street without any visible traction bars. Check it out....and please subscribe. Costs nothing. There's zero harassment and subscribers are what makes my YouTube Channel work!

Small update on my Nova project. I finally (Finally!) have the back wheels and tires installed. It took what seemed like forever to have the back wheels built in California.....and then painted to match (locally) They're 15X8's with a 5.25-inch backspace. Tires are M&H Racemaster P275-60R15 drag radials. And it all fits....L-O-L! It will likely settle down another 1/2-inch or so on the back. The front end height is adjustable (coil overs), but I'll have to wait to set it up until the engine, transmission and other bits are installed. I have a few more little things to do (for example, waiting on my hood hinges, catch and latch to come back from phosphate plate work). Fuel system is done too. I can show some pix down the road (they're being used in an article series so I have to wait to share them). But the roller is pretty much done (!!!) and I can concentrate on the fat block. Interesting of course, is the fact that as soon as I posted this elsewhere some peeps have already tried to nudge me into selling it (they didn't bring enough dough...and I'd need a lot to cover the cost$ (Hey...don't tell my wife!).....

Really enjoying watching your build. Learning a few things. Would be nice to have you as a neighbor, LOL.. I'm in the process of going through a 68 Camaro, front to back, inside out. Not going to be show quality, just a bracket racer. Your videos are giving me some clues as to what I can do better and also reinforcing some of my own better ideas. Looking you up on youtube now.

I just completed an update on my old Nova street car. The rolling chassis is pretty much done now:
