Hi guys, Thought I post a few pics of the upgrades that I've been doing to my 71 Nova over the Winter. Taking a bit longer than I hoped but it should be nice when they are done.

We are also building a 550ci BBC from PKRE to go along will all these updates. Car should be 300+ lbs lighter than last year and have another stage of spray.

Hoping for June 7th. Got to get the anti-roll bar put in this weekend and then we are just waiting for the engine to get done. Been waiting for the heads for almost 3 and a half months now. I heard they were being cut on the cnc machine last thursday so they should be here this week and then we can get the ti valves ordered....

Sweet - that Smith Racecraft front stub is a nice deal, sure saves a ton of work!

Hey Ron,
How much do those front ends cost now, if you dont mind me asking, and what all does it come with at that price? If you would rather PM me then do so, if you would rather not say then I understand. Thanks

By the way, It looks killer!!

Been a while since I posted an update. While it's taken way longer than I hoped, we are getting closer...
