This is a 1974 Chevy Nova for those that don't know. I figured I would post this for all the old school muscle lovers. Dash should get a kick out of this since he is into the painting, and automotives. Disclaimer: this is my fathers car, and we both restored it so it's like both of ours except he paid for it LOL. I also get to make ice cream runs occasionally. I'm working a deal right now for a 69 camaro that we'll restore if the lady will sell it to me:brows:!! He used to drag race in high school and had a 74 just like this. We straightened out the liness, laced with bondo, painted, fabbed the fenders for 10 inches under the rear(didn't want to try tubbing on first one), fabbed traction bars, fabbed metal skirts to hide undercarriage, pushed front and rear bumpers in about 2 1/2 inches for more modern look, complete interior(seats weren't done by us), b&m from the column to the floor, performance gears in the rear end, head work, headers, with shorty pipes coming out the side infront of rear tires, a cam for a little tick and hit, and a few other things i'm sure I forgot.


I'm going to post the pics from start to finish in separate post, so hope it works. I even have a video of the motor on a mounted stand being tuned outside of the car in my dads own shop.


Mind you, we did every bit of the work our selves literally, except the front seat!!

I think that is just the wash off from the sanding on some spots my pops wasn't happy with LOL..... I"m putting the vid on youtube as we speak. Can I just embed the link from youtube or do I have to do something special?

all you need to do is when you are making the reply look above the reply box and you will see an youtube icon to the right of all the others. click that and than take everything AFTER the = sign in hte youtube link and place that inbetween the brackets and you will be golden.

If this works, should be a chevy 350 w/ cam and headers being tuned by my pops for the 74 Nova. Sounds like a beast when he hits it a couple times. Not bad for a lil backyard project!!
