Poor unsuspecting slobs who would challenge this beast. You don't even let them see your tach. Very stealthy! Cool ride. THanks for sharing.

Not only is this a well put together package, but you should hear the engine in Tom's car while it's running.......Nasty, Nasty..........(The way it should be)

Yes, my geardrive was making what seemed to be alot more noise than normal and when I removed the timing cover to investigate the "dogbone" piece was actually hanging off the assembly. Look closely at the geardrive picture at the piece in the titleblock of the print. I have the old pieces and the new pieces there. I made the new pieces twice at thick and then case hardened them. I used the old pieces to model the new ones using a 3D CAD program, made a print and then made 2 on a CNC machine. Honestly the whole design/manufacturing process took less than 3 hours. The reassembly took 2 Sundays.

Nice Car! I had a 66 L-79 car back in the late 80's, what a blast to drive. One of the better body styles that GM produced in my opinion.

I have been fortunate enough to see this car in person. It's pretty awesome.

[Mr. Duece]

I too have been fortunate enough to see, hear, and get a first hand demonstration of it's capabilities. A very cool car that I can't wait to video at the Grove.

Tom, Thanks so much for sharing your awesome and WAY cool Nova with all of us. The Chevrolet Nova was my first car...and I still love 'em.

Oh, since no one has said it yet...
