My day 2 nova build
 

This is my original paint and vinyl top L78 4 speed car,it's a local car since 1972.i know all owners since then,original engine swapped for 427 in early 70's,427 was destroyed in 76 and replaced with a 365hp 327 and sidelined with broke ring and pinion in the 80's and stored in a dry barn on plastic.i have a fresh 69 L78 with a bigger solid cam,hooker super comps and a set of traction bars that were removed from a 69 yenko camaro that Dave Tinell restored many years ago

That's really a nice looking car. Sounds like a good plan you have with it.
That should run real well!

Re: My day 2 nova build
 

this car was in bowling green ky back 1970 and owned by a local drag racer Pat Cassady, it wasn't his race car but a stock then driver. after that Leo Pate from my home county bought it from pat and it was still all original but soon became a local street legend, I even owned it at one time, this is a for sure l78 nova!!!!!! Great car Chris

My nova has finally seen the light of day.this car hasn't moved under its own power for 20+ years and no big block power for 40,til today. I still have to set timing,adjust carb and install gauges.i need to thank Nugeusa1,pusherman and Darell Cook for parts and moral support,oh and motivation

Very cool and well done. How about some more pics?

Here are a few more

Stock L78 with hooker super comps headers

What kind of tires you running? They look great.

Fantastic car, and a great stance. Love the car. :3gears:

I enjoyed seeing this car at the reunion this weekend. Did you get to make any passes at Beech Bend?

Great Stance. Looks very mean......

.

What a nice stance!!!!!!!!
Man it looks killer just sitting there....

Great looking car.

Yes,I actually made a pass before they shut down track, 13.02 at 105 with 2.1 60ft. I was hoping to see 12's but never happened.i made 6 more passes after Mascar graciously let us race with them

I believe they are 4 1/4 backspace
