Re: You and your ride... Post it here get to know everyone...
New here, just dropped in from the Pontiac forums. Its nice to see what others are doing with chev mopar ford etc. Too much time with your own kind gets to be like kissing your sister. LOL
Here's one of my rides. Seldom Seen Race Team. Pure Pontiac Power!
482ci factory block and crank, Lunati roller, KRE HiPort heads 360cfm, Victor/1050. Hughes 400 Hughes convertor. 3.89 9", 28x10 MTs, 3250lbs w/driver. Too damn hot to go out now, try for some 9s in Sept.

Re: You and your ride... Post it here get to know everyone...
BILIT, you are 2 seconds better than my street 63. 12s are easy to talk about and harder to do when it comes to streetable combos. A true 12 second or better street rod gets my respect.

Re: You and your ride... Post it here get to know everyone...
Thanks, all i can say is thank goodness for drag radials!! Pretty tough to do on street tires and a poor suspension setup, next year should be quicker once i get the rear setup better. I hate to put a cage in it though, not much of street car after that i think.

Nice car! I just gave my son my 73 SS Nova that is fixed up to run True Ten.5 here in Texas.hugger73hatch wrote:Just wanted to post some pics of my car. It is a 73 Nova Hatchback car. I bought almot 3 years ago and a lot has been changed in it, but it is still a work in progress. Started with 350, then a 383, and now current set up is a Dart block 408. This winter I had a 6 point Chromemoly cage put in it and made some suspension upgrades, that I am still trying to figure out. I put Rancho 9000 shocks out back and QA1R 12 way adjustables and Moroso trick springs up front. Just this summer I have put a 4" Harwood cowl hood on it and relocated the battery to the back of the car. Future plans call for some more suspension upgrades and a full fiberglass front end as well as redoing the interior and the body.
I now have a 72 Nova that is going to run Extreme 10.5 . I love Nova's!!!!!!!!!! A pic of my new car.

Nice, oneowner! I like the 73's
I just gave my son the 73 ss trunk back Nova that I've had for the last 7 yrs. I told the son that it stay's in the family before I gave it to him. I have a 72 ss car now that is going to the body shop for work and paint soon, I hope.
