      move those gauges to the right on top of the hood scoop, and put a 45degree bend in the shifter and then plumb it back up off your leg, awesome ride !! didnt catch the engine? 454? for sale ,lol.

    My dad's last car was a 70 Nova, didn't look like this one. The hood is a pinch too tall for me but I wouldn't kick it out of my garage either.. Merry Christmas boys!!

      A nice stinger hood would look killer, too .

    Old man had a 71.... Small block out of one of the pro stock cars built by Glen personally the crews mechanic.... They would take the cranks out of the 400 small blocks from the school buses they were stronger.... All hand built and ported ol skool 383!! In a 71 Nova on the street thing was a machine. . Unfortunately I only really remember looking out the little back window Ripping insideways through intersections... And The two-door Caprice that was bone stock but it was one of my favorites. I remember playing with the hood ornament

    • @gordocarbo
      @gordocarbo หลายเดือนก่อน

      No idea who Gen is but yeah only the guys who knew their stuff back then would turn down 400 cranks. Believe it was Joe Sherman who really made them popular
      Best upgrade possible for a 350 chevy.
      Some have even snuck 3.875" cranks in to get 396-409 cubes.
      Big torque

    This little car was one incredible car if you had any where with all back in the day and you could build this motor a little bit it was virtually unbeatable we raced 442 and I had a hemikuta but I'm not sure if the hemikuta could have beat this car we had up in Erie PA back in the day it was running about 560 horsepower and it was just brutal but it's got to be 1 of the greatest little cars ever built Good luck with it..

    Those traction bars look good yellow but... that's just an opinion. I'm sure black will look just fine. 🤔First thing I noticed though.

    Very nice driver! Got sick of the aftermarket floor shifters by the 90s.
    Id hook the column shift back up esp with a bench seat its out of the way.
    Touch more sidewall on the rears, and put a zillion miles on it.
