75 Nova U/SA

MikeMoller · 01-23-2015, 01:37 AM

I started this build summer of 2014, it is finished but have only done 3 test sessions, results are under the IHRA index and close to NHRA.. Bored with winter and all the pics I took were to big to post, so I am shrinking them down and posting as I get them done. It begins life as a 76 with a 305 that would barely run, metric 200, 7.5 rear end with multi leafs, some rust in the drivers floor (rest was good), lower front fenders(poorly patched), trunk lid and rear window body panel. The Trunk floor was perfect.The radiator support was junk, took forever to find a decent one to restore -no aftermarket available. Tough issue for building a 75 and up nova, very few reproduction parts. The engine will be the 262 V8 rated at 165.

These are a few of the 'before' pics.
