Forgot to mention...this is a street car that is DRIVEN (well, as much as I can) and puts out 930hp/755tq at the flexplate.

I've had the pic with the airplane in the back on my desktop for motivation..lol

one quick question,I have the same seats that I'm going to install in my '72 after the cage is done.did you use the original seat tracks or did you have to make something up?
I was worried about getting the height right.
thx..

I used the seat track that is on the seats but they do need spacers underneath them to fit right.

Wow, that is super nice! Have you ran it at the track? That would be a fun street car for sure!!

Wow, the show with the go... usually its one or the other but you put both together nicely.. awesome Nova and congrats. :cool:

Big Fan of that car.
I keep showing the wife your car and saying..." the Steelrat should look like that hey honey?":rolleyes:

Yes, check it out at www.stevesnovasite.com

I rotate the images a couple of times a week, and any car can be placed here from the car profile area. But, the profile needs to be formatted as requested here (http://www.stevesnovasite.com/forums/announcement.php?f=73).

Let me tell you all something, It is as clean and as loud and as bad *** in person as you see in photos. The photo of it with Airplane in background was taken at a car show My old club put on, and well when he arrived you heard him first and thought oh my gawd what is that, then you see it and still think holy crap what a ride, then you look at it and confirm, DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNN

this is an amazing car

its also my wal paper lifting the wheels :)

I remember years ago thinking what would I love to have my nova look like, very close to my dream car.

Thanks everyone!! Really appreciate the comments!!

LOL Bruce!! Can you even imagine...It's slightly LOUDER now!!:eek: Since you saw it, it's had some MAJOR upgrades done to it!!

deadheaddooley-read the post above yours. Yes, it is street legal. I do drive it quite often. Even take my kids to school in it (well, they need earmuffs!!)

355SBCacadian-Are you talking about this picture??:rolleyes:
