So you wanna build a stocker!?!?

[Nick Reiter III]

Hello gentleman, my time has come to give it a shot. After 25 years of dreaming and thinking of combos and cars and avalible parts I think I got it together. However, I need help from you guys that have done it all before. The victim is a 71 Nova. I am looking for rear wheel backspacing, how wide of a rear wheel, drag radials? and size, The car will be going for new quarters and inner rear fenders soon, is there anything I need to let the body man know about the lips? If anyone can help, it would be great! I will keep you updated. Thank you!

Rules allow for minor modifications. I'm sure you will want to trim the leading edge and I would trim and roll the lip so that if the tires do rub they will not catch a sharp edge ,same on the inner fenders , avoid sharp edges . 8 or 10 " wheels 30 x 9" tires ,not sure of the backspace .---Trevor

Hey Kid, you can send me a PM or give me a call(I'm sure that your Dad has my#) if I can help. I might know a thing or two about those cars.

Learned this from Ed Bendez..
