Saw this car in person. Very dry, solid Nova. Watch out for mixing radials with bias plies though Alan!

[/ QUOTE ]very nice pictures from the plains of Iowa! Not just Deuce Heaven but Nova Heaven too. Leave that floor alone Alan. You need the opening that big for the straight rods that your Hurst SuperShifter use!

Alan I agree with Sam about the shifter. You guys seem to have the day-2 look dialed in. If you go that direction take a look at the 15x4 slot wheels that are offered by wheel vintiques for the fronts.
I am trying to figure out the SS emblem in the center of the steering wheel. I notice some of your cars have a little square frame around the SS emblem and some do not. Was there a change from 69 to 70 or which one is right?

Sammy I think the hole was for a Vertigate, not a super shifter. I have a supershifter now in my red deuce and it didn't take much change. V-gates took a BIG hole.
Most rear shackles seem to be home made. These obviously are store bought. I've not seen that mark/impression before on anything that I can remember.
On the question about the SS emblem, the one on the blk car is original to the car. The one on the H/O Nova isn't. It had a Grant wheel on it when we got it. I'm thinking the emblem on the H/O car came from Wayne Bushey. I'm not sure why the difference, just that the one from the blk car is an original if that helps you.
