Thanks for all of the complements's.

Rob, the front end is fiberglass on hydraulic rods. The hood is molded into some 1 1/4 DOM. Here are some pictures of the front end off of the car. I have to get a new digital camera, when I do i will take detailed pictures of how it is mounted to the front clip.

Is the only car I have so It's got to do everything :lol:
Daily drive car and track car at the weekend with a little bit of top speed runs at the night time with friends.

I'm trying for a couple of years to puch every horse from my engine with some studing and know how, really don't trust anyone here to do that for me and I want always to be made by me.

I still bealive that I can do better, but is hard and the failure is always my shadow...

Hey guys just joined looking for tons of info i can put to use. My names Allen I'm 20 Phoenix, Az and not married. I go to school full time for criminal justice. I bought a 68 Camaro back in February while i was home on leave from Iraq had a small block in it, got rid of that motor because i didn't trust the guy who built the car (if you saw it you'd understand) currently has no front end on it and its about to get moved to a larger shop so i can pull off the front clip and put in a lighter on. motor planned is another small block either a 355 on spray or a 383 with a procharger, th400, Dana 60, 4.11 and ladders out back. The guy who built the car put air bags in the rear... so those are gonna go. i'm not sure what i'm wanting to run but i want 11.5's on motor and 10's on spray

Last time the stang was a SIR was Super Chevy.. work was so busy just didnt have time to race..... so i got a new job :thumb: I am puting the new motor in right now and will be out much more.. will run at Firebird and SIR. The Supra hasnt been out much due to trannys blowing up...doing a TH400 swap in that (then hitting it with lots more boost).... The ole LS1 is the only one out playing mast few months.....

My name is Dave C and live in Vero Beach FL. I work as a aerospace propulsion and mechanical systems engineer. I bought my nova last year from a guy in CA. I drove from Huntsville AL to CA to get it. The car is solid but had some minor rust in the floor pans and had been used as a race car during the 90's I am guessing. I stripped the entire car down once it was in my garage even though it was running when I got it. Much of the systems were out dated. A short description:

406 SB Chevy
AL Trick Flow Heads/Roller Rockers
Strip Dominator Intake
Holly DBL Pumper
Ford 9" Rear
Mark Williams High Torque Axles and Thrid member
MT ET Drag Slicks 29.5X11.5X15

I have worked on it for a year and have it comming back to gether, it was wet sanded and is ready for paint, and has already been jammed. Next will be 2 double adjustable Afco coil overs, painless wire harness, and some gauges.
