Little off topic Next Project

[htchevyii]

Here's mine, my first car was a '62 ChevyII I got as a project when I was 15. I spent two years working on it, then the next two ruining it. Then I swapped all the good parts onto this '64. Right now, I'm replacing the door skins and getting it ready for a repaint.

what you have for engine and trans? I am going with 383 stroker with a 4 speed Muncie. I am also going to change the rear end. This kit says it 2" of ground clearance. I want too put 2" drop spindles on it so will it be back at same height where I started? Also where did you buy those headers did you have to have them tweak or did they fit?

Mine has a 350/th350, approx 400 hp. The suspension kit didn't change the ride height. I have a 9" out of a 57 Fairlane, it is close to a bolt in and is about 1" narrower than stock. I'm waiting for the weather to warm up so I can finish the body. I fought the standard headers for years, I tried two sets, the engine has to be raised to install them. For I set, I also had to change to a smaller flexplate and different starter. Access to the spark plugs and starter was a nightmare. The hooker supercomp fenderwell exits solved most problems. The downsides are: $600, you have to cut holes in the car, reroute the brake lines and the one that sounds like a killer for you... The tires can rub when lowered, especially if they are wide.

well while I am waiting on some stuff to finish the spider I had a chance to do a little on the Nova, I am doing a mini tub on the rear so i can fit bigger tires for my 383 Stroker engine that is being built. I should have about 550 Hp when all said and done.

I got one side done today. I have little bit more too finish the side up. Then off too the driver side then I will build a rotisserie to flip the car upside down to start on the 4 link setup on the rear axle to do away with the current setup of the springs...
