Wow, nice work guys!
Great video. I have been working on my 66 Chevy 2 wagon for a couple months now.
That looks like my old car from the 80's It's a chevy II nova and my first unibody. Also them old bumpers can be fixed easy never toss away. Also why would you not buff out before the emblems put on?
MY DREAM CAR!
I'm surprised they didn't do a LS swap....
Something doesnt seem right lol, as this nova sat when they introduced this gorgeous little nova, they said 7 seconds in the 1/8th, with what looks to be a healthy small block and a good trans and slicks out back. I would think this thing should do at least a mid 5, lookin at maybe high 10s in the quarter, it is an all steel car with full clothing, she needs on a diet lol. Such a gorgeous little chevy 2
So how many years do we have to do this stuff before we start having those cool flashbacks? Lol Keepemcoming
A "rough exterior" 😂. That car is in great shape.
It's driver condition. It won't bring trophies at the local show and shine but it's not the rust bucket look that seems to be considered cool in the car world. It's a nice race car that can be driven on the street.
As where as for a Ford Falcon Futura fan. It sure would be cool for you guys do something like that as well with 2 door 66 Ford Falcon Futura that is set up for drag racing and street.
Also the Canadian version of the Chevy Nova would be the Acadian Canso SD.
Will the front suspension on S10 fit under 67 Nova Chevy 2 ?
166👍's up thank you for sharing 😊
JUST ONCE, would you PLEASE document the true cost of a project! How much did this car cost? What was it advertised for? How much is the RETAIL price of the products?
Dose it really matter, if you have a garage or not? When it comes to building lead sleds? Is their any portable garages you would recommend.
No it's not necessary. I've known a few that built there's without a garage. All driveway builds. Garages allow you protection from the elements though, that's a win when it's raining or otherwise. There are some portable tents/sheds/garages through harbor freight and other companies.
They have jackets with 12 volt battery heaters in them to keep you warm. So my question is why not have a 12 volt battery fan in the race suits. At least something to move some air around your upper body while waiting in car.
They do have cool suits that recirculate chilled water, but you need an icebox somewhere in the car too
Extra nice would be to pull some video of this car in action. Possibly from @MotormaniaTV action if the car was raced at a big event.
Maybe I missed it, but what hood is that? I’d rather not chop up my factory hood if possible lol
i would looooove to see you guys go ham on an engine. just smacking on the beefiest parts you can find and make the most power you guys can get it up to. ive seen you guys do naturally aspirated 600+hp builds. imagine a turbo or two on top of that. just milking as much power out of an engine would be really fun to watch
Great Sunday morning everyone. Remember everyone Jesus Christ is the answer ✝️. Through the Good and the bad he is the way.🙏✝️
