  1. Welllllll its like this..This year Nova always seems to be set high with narrow period tires. If your looking for fatties jammed under the body then your gonna have to tub it and make a new rear frame section or find a pro street kit and use the rear tubs adapted to your front frame to get the correct wheelbase and then mount up that Lt1 and have at it!!
  2. Looks like a 390 T Bird ....where is the distributor mounted? I like the fuelie look,,,put a set of long zoomies on it
  3. So you fill up that trunk with a dozen cases of shine....should sit nice and low......
  4. If the burittos are good The farts should be killers

  7. I always enjoyed Clays efforts to learn George...And I have seen photos posted by George....So I knowz he can Then again I just plain enjoy Georges attitude!!!!Always brings a big smile to me!!!!
  8. Dave hits another one!!!! And one small tip...mark your combination on the other side.. primer,color(s), clear, additives(pearl or flake or reducer etc...) you will not like this part but doing it will pay off when your drawer has 125 or so spoons painted!!
  9. THANKS BILLY!!! You are the Man!!!
  10. I'm not a master...but I've cut a few up. Well you really should get some 1/8 fine line tape and a sharp razor saw...although some will say to stack cut off wheels and make 1 cut. after you figgure out how much you want cut work slowly on your tape line..keep it straight and level...side to side also! As far as adding filler to the roof it will vary depending on where you cut. (jimmy flintstone makes some pre chopped bodies.) to lower it ...how low do you want to go??? That needs to be answered before you pick a technique...You can drop the axle, reverse springs and cut perches, and of course Z the frame! Channeling the body is usually just cutting firewall....now if you want an interior...there is your work! Don't worry its only plastic...repeat this 5 or 6 times then pick up your Zona and cut that puppy!!! Remember if you cut it Tenax and Evergreen can fill it up!! So Abe , no simple answer....Plan it and Cut it up and then fix it up......SIMPLE!!! Moderate Z front and back: Major Z front and rear: Note ...this one was also channeled and a new floor pan, and firewall were made, seats are always a fight along with steering!
