nice plan on the Nova buddy. That ART set up should be clean. What do you have for air in that bad boy? I have started redoing all my air in the Nova, and "freshining" her up as well. I need to get a new cowl hood, I went with a fiberglass one the first time... I just could never get it to fit right.

I'm diggin' the Nova! I've worked over a few of those, and yes, you HAVE to narrow the rear end to get any kind of tire under them. A 7" wheel is almost too wide in stock form. In reality, they never made a Nova in any year that could fit a decent tire underneath in stock form. I owned a '67 Nova back in the day and it barely fit a 7" rally and a 225/60-15 tire. I fixed that........

You are amassing quite a collection between the cars and trucks. I see a larger building in your future. :metal:

Here you go Dino. It was in a couple of photo spreads for a photogragpher in Miami a few years ago. Wheels are Into Twisted vista, worked over 355sbc, turbo 350. 4 wheel disc a full leather interior all black with red stitching. I have been wanting to bag it for a couple of years... we will see if that ever happens.
Later bro!!:chevy:

Crystal pier is sweet man, those little houses on the pier look like fun. We use to fish off that pier. I might hook up a car trailer and come over in Nov. For Goodguys sounds like a blast.
