???/ put some more into your post. the chassis is already extended if thats what your asking. and most of the projects i've seen are mid to late 60's.

yeah its coming down a lot.

[zippo855]

not much of an update, but an update none the less. well haven't had a lot of time to work on it, but the battery pack is gone, the wide wheels are gone, it looked ok but body sat at too much of an angle when i lowered the front. and the hood scoop is gone. don't know what will be sticking out of it, or might just go with the stock hood with no hole. well here some pics.

[ling427ttvette]

MUCH better. You read my mind, get rid of that hood scoop thing.. go with the stock hood or a big blower sticking through and no stupid scoop.

That looks nice lowered like it is, nice job.

[theruns]

my uncles friend has a nova with a 4 speed but i cant remember what year

[benoj]

go for either stock hood or have one with a blower stickin out of it. imo you should lift the rear just a hair more and get rid of the power switch

[AJB32690]

Are you gonna relocate the batteries inside the car? I was gonna do that with mine, but then I decided that doing an interior instead would look better.

It looks better without those huge rear tires, but I think you dropped it too low here, maybe a millimeter or two higher, and the ride height will be perfect! What are you planning with the hood?

[xmodkidd33]

I think the rear should be higher, the front is perfect, though.

[AJB32690]

It looks to me like the front tires would rub the way it sits now.

[zippo855]

got some paint on it. base coat champagne gold.


got a little sanding to do then on the the top coat.

[zippo855]

ok so another update
i got the top coat put on, and i'm pleased with the out come. its a kandy purple pearl. the base coat made this coat have a gold tint to it.

[blue504life]

wow, looks good, i would have done it blue, but thats just me. looks good though
