Car looks great.. What are the plans?

Those are pretty cool rides, please do keep posting the progress.

I am going to build a 383 stroker engine paint it. I am not sure what color yet. redo in the interior as well....

Did you get the pics of the moldings that I sent? If so did you recognize the hood? I've got a 64 ChevyII I've had for 20 years that I'm doing body work on. Mine has a 400hp 350. They are fun cars. CPP makes a front subframe kit that gets rid of the strut rods and improves handling and alignment. Church boys racing also makes a very nice kit that costs a bit more.

The front has been updated already I will have the car Saturday this car belong to a neighbor next too my dads I have know for 20+ years he just gave up on it. I picked it up for 3,500 bucks..

That sounds like a great deal, they want 5 grand for a clapped out rust bucket around here.

teal and black by fiatcs2000, on Flickr

I think I like the first, sort of the MadMax colours,



sort of, inversed maybe??, good colour combo anyway

I like the orange and black best of the choices.

Honestly, from someone who's going to put stripes on his Spider, I like a solid color on this car, and also like the white. Clean, simple, and understated, just like the body style.

Started little work on the Nova

Looks like you jumped right into that one! I can see in the pics it sill has the crummy factory lower control arm/strut rod setup. If you have any front end problems, ( I could never get mine to hold an alignment and it handled like a pig), check into the CPP kit that replaces it with a tubular a-arm. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-67-NOVA-CP ... 31&vxp=mtr
The bearing kit for the idler arm also works wonders:
