Thought I'd post some pics of the '69 Nova gasser I've been building for a friend. A little off beat, but this is my buddy's Nova that I've been helping him build lately.
The engine is a full roller 350, bored .030", with Offenhouser tunnel ram. Headers are Tri 5 Chevy. Rear axle is a 3.73 posi, 8.8" Ford, trans is a T56 six speed, front axle is a Econoline that we converted to Aerostar rotors, and GM calipers, and rear is stock Explorer disc brakes. Hand built ladder bars. Hood isn't on it, but it's a fiberglass cowl induction cut for the tunnel ram and scoop to clear. It will be a lift off, as it's a lightweight. All the luxuries of power steering and power brakes too! He wanted the gasser look, but also wants to put a lot of miles on this car as a daily driver. So the T56, PS, PB, were all things to make it more of a driver.
Stock interior, with bucket seats, and a 4 point roll bar. That's the original factory red paint! Not perfect, but pretty decent for 45 yr. old paint!
We've got a few more days work, and it will be road ready!
