    Love watching Tommy the "Adult Bobby Hill" build cars! All the Nova needs is propane

    I was pretty happy to see you guys put a set of jack stands up under the back half of the car. Just in case it starts to want to rock back and forth, because of the overhang of the trunk end of the car. It was looking a little bit intimidating. Keep up the good work guys

    I love rigid rear suspension. My first car had rear suspension that didn't work much until you got to 60mph but it handled winding road like it was on rails and the rear didn't bog down in stop light drags.

    You taking me back till I was 14 years old and that is the first hot rod that I worked on is '66 Nova SS 400 small block with a 350 camshaft. We took 17 in wide traction tires and no back and little skinny pro stock tires in the front. Mickey t's and I think we stuck a three-speed in there for racer

    Now I know these guys are real mechanics, they have the same energy as the guys at the shop down the road who’ve been listening to the same old “The brakes just started squealing this morning!” and “You should warranty my engine for the crap oil you put in my engine 4 years ago!” stories for 20 years.

    I spent less money building up my 63 Nova 2 then what I would have spent buying an LS motor other equipment, I took a multi-port fuel injection out of an 86 Camaro which was the 305 kind of hard to get them Camaros LOL took the rear suspension all necessary parts a little bit of money change hands rear end was narrowed down new axle shafts installed and still maintain the original gearing match to the original transmission and 305, all new subframe in independent suspension in the front yes that little 305 make my little lady get up and move just nice

    Detroit Muscle or Carcass needs to do a Mid-late Muscle car, not a camaro or Vette though.... Something like a 75-79 Nova, a 73-77 Malibu, a 73-76 Cougar/T-bird, a 73-76 Torino or a Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volare. I'm seeing ALOT of these "Smog Era" Muscle Cars show up to Cruise-ins, Cars and Coffee's and cars shows. There's more than several on the HRPT the last 3-4 years too. They are the HOT build now because they are still cheap, the parts are plentiful, the Aftermarket is catching up to them fast and they have aged out of the smog regs so you can pretty much build them however you want. Just do a simple restoration or build a mild restomod that you can daily drive but still take to a cars and coffee or local car show, nothing CRAZY, just a stock engine mild hopped up or move up to an LS, simple interior, simple wheels and simple paint job. Show people these cars are cool cars for not a whole lot of money.
