I am searching parts, and came across this. So maybe the seats and other parts will work? All are X body cars.

21-361 Chevrolet Nova, Oldsmobile Omega, Pontiac Ventura and Phoenix, Buick Apollo and Skylark Leaf Spring Assembly

Chevrolet Nova Leaf Springs - Stengel Bros Inc.


73 hatch are hard to find in Mb. Any Parts out there?

Im thinking the stance will change once you drop in an engine and other parts. I would work on a solid engine now. For the money i spend on my 454 i could have built a stroker 350 and made more power and better gas

Yes, I will add stronger front springs. Yes I agree on the stroker; they twist the tack. I am hung up on interior parts, I have time, but the lack of availability up here makes me nuts. I need a parts car bad.

As a body man this was the nicest, cleanest restore I have done. 3 little dimples on the hood. It was all spraying primers, now a quick block and ready for paint. I will farm out engine/transmission. I still need the back interior panels. If anyone knows where to find please message me.

Dang, clean looking and sharp! Love it.

How'd you manage to get that high boy style rear suspension? I'm looking to do similar with my 75 coupe.
Cheers,
