    I spotted an Oldsmobile Omega in a salvage yard, very solid lookin' car. Needs a Motor and Tranny, new passenger side floor pan, but rust isn't bad! They're asking $600. My main question is, as I'm not a fan of the grill, how easy is it to swap a nova grill on it? What's involved in doing that...

    Hello, as the title suggests I have some kind of electrical short in my steering column. The car is a 1975 3 speed automatic, with a tilt column.

    78 Nova. I scored a rear disc brake conversion for a good deal. I'm mouting them on driver side and the bolt for the parking brake bracket is just barely in the way of the shock.

    I currently have a 350 gm crate motor in my 78. After running the numbers on it, it seems to be a basic 250hp build. I have a lead on a good deal for a BB. I have read through some of these threads. Seems to be a direct bolt in. I do have a 400 trans that i see the cross member needs to be...

  8. Wheels and Tires
    What's up? I came across a set of C6 wheels (18x8.5 & 19x10) for a price I couldn't turn down. I'm positive they won't just bolt up because of the spacing, my question is does anyone know what size spacers (or how many:() I would need to get these babies to fit? Thanks, all help is appreciated!

    I am looking to Customize my Nova to look a bit 'Mad Max' style with a Hood scoop, fender flares and a spoiler. The overall look of a SCCA/Trans AM series racer only street legal. I was wondering if anyone has tried adding the fender flares off the 77-81 Camaros to a 4th Gen Nova? If so how...

  12. Body and Interior
    Does a kit exist with all the required door, trunk, and quarter window weatherstripping for a 4th gen? Any commonality with the 3rd gens? All I've been able to find through the usual suspects are a la cart. In my case, I'm looking for a 2-door sedan, non-hatchback.
