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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
Nice car! I just gave my son my 73 SS Nova that is fixed up to run True Ten.5 here in Texas.
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.
