i do plan on making the trip to Stanton,but it will probably be next year.I am hoping to make the virginia race this year;but i still need to finishes up the clip;get the motor dyno tuned in .my motor guy has placed a great deal of time invested in the motor;he is a perfectionist and his motor speak for their self locally.trying to get everything ready for the dyno in the next few weeks.396,4 speed muncie and 12 bolt 4;10 gear to boot.chris
Chris, Is that the same Nova that I think you had at Commerce a few years back. I seem to recall it is a different one and you had this one in process...???
Your are right dave,this is my other nova;the one i had at the commerce race was grotto blue in color with dog dish hubcaps.thisred nova ss ;i have owned since the age of 16.It has nos quarters and fender and all original metal in the car;.should run pretty good.Chris
Looks great Chris, I have a wedding the VMP weekend.But, if they have the deal in Gainesville again I should be there. Love to see it in person.
guys ,subframe is completed on the nova.and motor is ready for the dyno.will be scheduling my dyno tuning session in a few weeks.i will try and post some pictures this weekend.chris
I will post some pictures this week of the progress of the 68 nova 396/375 hp purestocker this week.Been alittle slower than I thought;but the motor is all ready for the dyno.probably a good idea to schedule it for the first week of the new year.removed the old front clip / stripped the firewall ,and primed it today.the new front clip is painted semi-gloss black with a sikkens paint product , spindle, tierods etc.all painted and ready to roll under the car.I have a rottissere ,so at this point,it would make since to remove gas tank and rearend and place the car on the rottissere; then i can sand underneath and paint the bottom side and then start putting the car back together;in a few weeks.Chris Teed
Chris, Been wanting to add to this post for a while now. Your 68 Nova SS is gorgeous!!! I've always wanted one of those bad hombre's. Good luck,and please keep the pictures flowing. Rich C.
i was able to take some pictures of the progress today;got to find the plug so i can load the pictures .Dyno time set for 1st week in january.chris
You're making me homesick- my first car was a '69 with a 250 and 4w drums- r@ped a chevelle for the spindles etc. and put on the discs- built the 250 up with a hot cam,headers,dual webers, etc. Mean lil Bast@@@- I miss it- my wife hated it!
Here are updated pictures of the pure stocker nova ss.Chris http://img231.imageshack.us/g/20091225pics0003.jpg/
