My Name is Chris. Been lurking here for a while. Decided it was time to register. You guys have a great site. Very imformative site. Here is a pic of my ride. Best et of 11.04 @ 121 last year in street trim. Do not race in a class a our track as we do not have a heads up class yet, will not bracket race. Updating this year with CalTracs and adding the bottle. Not sure which kit yet though.

Hi,
My name is John Dougherty. I own a small camshaft grinding shop in California. I have a few two many projects...
http://drcamshafts.com/projects/
I have 90% of the parts I need. I have the Camaro engine done, 454 with rect port edelbrock heads, brodix HVH intake etc. The 63 Nova needs the connectors and cage installed.
Ever since I got the 71 Nova running the other projects have been sitting. Next step for the '71 is installing the 4.10 12 bolt.

Hello everyone. There are a whole lotta cool cars here. I am new to this site. Just got myself registered.
Well, I am 25 and single. I am in the USAF and spend alot of time in the desert. I am living right now in Abilene, Tx.
I have a 1974 Nova. I would like to have the '68 to '72 front end, but I love her anyway.
Right now it has a 396 bored to a 406. It has posted a best of 7.28 in the 8th. I don't have any plans for a nitrous or forced induction. I do have a Gen IV 454 with 4 bolt mains. Slowly I am going to build a 496 stroker, maybe run alcohol through it. That is the future though. I am still trying to get my current combo dialed in to race points in the Modified ET class at my local track. I bounce between a 7.28 and 7.34.
I will post some pics of the car once I get to a good computer. I am in Kuwait right now. Only a couple of months to go!!

John, your brother's car looks pretty cool. Looks like an Outlaw 10.5 car?

Welcome BBNova, glad to have you here and thank you for your service to our country!

I think he wants to run nostalgia 8.60 heads up for a while and get used to the car. Probably a Reher Morrison crate engine and PG. Get the chassis dialed in, get the car painted etc.
Back in 1980, our mother gave me $900 to buy him a Plymouth duster at a local used car lot. This was a Christmas gift and was supposed to be hidden at a neighbors house until Xmas morning. Well, I went out and found this '56 Chevy instead for $600. My mom was upset at first, but cheered up when I gave her the extra $300. Hard to believe he has had it over 25 years now.

BBnova, any idea how heavy your car is?

BBNova · #104 Post by **BBNova** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 10:33 pm

Not sure of the weight. The hood is the only fiberglass on it. I am looking into fiberglass bumpers. I know the 73 and 74 Nova bumpers were made to stop a runaway bus. The driver seat is the only interior, and I finally dropped the stock tank for a 5 gal. fuel cell.

JohnDougherty · #105 Post by **JohnDougherty** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 11:20 pm

I think the 73 fenders are the same as the 70-72's You need the grill stuff is all.
Yeah those bumpers are heavy. I have a 78 nova I was thinking about doing something
with. A friend of mine "donated"it to me. lol. I was interested in it until I found out it
only had a 7.5 rear. It will sit out in the back until I get my other projects done.

You and your ride... Post it here get to know everyone...

AWSOME
