Hello every one. New guy here and wanted to say great site. Kevin, I just have to tell you your car is awesome in every way shape and form. I have been building a 69 Nova for awhile now and never really knew how I wanted it to look like until I saw the nos add in the National Dragster. I hope you don't mind but it will be red . Here is a link of some picks of mine at the frame shop getting its 1st phase of a long list of things needed done.

Oh great.... everyone watch out. I think someones head might get really really big.

Welcone aboard $$$pitt. Tell us more about you. Where you from? How did you get into your nova? Oh and by the way... I think that you should paint it black.. remember... always bet on black.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm from PGH,Pa (home of the Steelers). I have had the car for 9 years now it was a pro street car when I got it. I put my 454 motor and t400 trans in it and hit the track. It ran 11.00s until it blew up, then it went on the back burner until the house, the kids, and the wife got theirs and now its time for the Novas reserrection. Oh and by the way it was going to be Black but the wifes Buicks (2 GNs and Lacrosse) are Black :roll: and I thought it might be too much black. Besides the tow vehicle is red and my wife is a red head so it just fits, you know? Well any way, the body work starts tomarrow and hopefully it will be at the track this summer. :shock:

I'm sorry they are varishocks/coilovers. They came with the frame and rear-end kit. They are adjustable , as far as the tires I want to run a big tire it has 31 inch mickies on it now and they seem to fit real well. Did you happen to look at the link for pitt speed? It has all the rear back half pics and roll cage installed. Let me know what you think,this is my first tubed car, did the guy do a good job?. Well the good news is the body work is under way. :D :D :D. Hey Kevin is there a race schedule that you will be running at? I would like to see you run in person if I can get there.
