Thanks Jimmy! I really appreciate the compliment. I'm on a tight budget, so I have to go slow...

For the Nova "sleeper" build, I'm using a pretty cool custom built 12-bolt from Mark Williams. It's a super neat piece with 35 spline axles, a 35-spline Detroit Locker, a custom DTS case, moly axle tubes, unit bearings and more. It also looks pretty close to stock (perfect for my sleepy little Nova application). This is part one. I'll follow up with part two (axles) next week. Hope you dig it and thanks for watching!

Do yourself a favor and save up for gun drilled axles, they are worth it. Also, if you're going to put an exhaust system under the car, get electric cut outs. I have both on my car and it's fun to race with.

I've used gun drilled axles before (first set was in 1996), but this car will see street use so its conventional axles for this go-around.

If you're going to put on an exhaust system, on my 1969 Camaro Z/28 I have a 2.5 inch flowmasters with electric cut outs. The car will run only .15 to .18 slower through the mufflers rather than open headers and they are pretty quiet. Just a recommendation from experience. What I do is run the car with open cutouts, qualify with that number, make a pass with mufflers and dial the car through the mufflers.
