A couple pic's,
The first being a pic of the exhaust and electric cut outs. Everything tucked up and away pretty well. This is the old exhaust off the Nova.
#2: The steering nightmare completed. Found some good pictures online and that was the blueprint that was used. Install a drive shaft loop, just in case..... The ladder bars were also changed up from the one that were on the car versus the ones that came with the car. The newer ones are better.
#3: When the car was built in the very early 80's, they took a Impala style 12 bolt and cut down the housing and axles and welded them back up. I guess the car broke lots of axles in the past. Of course I found out the hard way trying to do a brake stand!! oops. So well the axles were out in this picture, we measured them up and ordered some Moser. They are being installed, and I should have the car back tomorrow with any luck.

First vid is taking the daughter for her first ride about. She hasn't gotten in it since.!! The only way she will get in it is if she gets to drive. I will let her soon, I'm just putting some miles on it to get the bugs worked out.

Second vid is just a quick stab of the throttle, it just spins the tires in first, hit second, same thing, it just wanted to go side ways with the old M50-14's. Since then I have put some Hoosiers on it. Will see how thing hook up now.

I will get some better videos soon, as they are just with phones.

Enjoy.
