yes it's a '57. ironworks looks like they do some fabulous work. with that z06 drivetrain, are you stuck with the vette wheelbase, or is it the same, or can it be altered to fit without major changes?

Actually the 'Vette wheelbase is shorter than the Nova one so we are going to lengthen the torque tube and have a carbon fiber driveshaft made in the longer length.

I want to go to your church......sounds like more fun then mine

Nova great layout this will be easy to follow with your inserts and pics .

Don you are so true, I envy the skill and professional work i see going . Im sure we all have 30 plus years at the tinkering level i call it .

We all build very safe and enjoyable cars . This is just what it's like at the next level .

Nova if you need camera batteries let me know i'll ship some .

God looked at the setup and said "Let there be stainless headers so that the LS7 may breathe as it should"........

And there was.........

As God looked at what he created he noticed louvers in the dash and decreed "Let the louvers lay flat!".......

And they did.....

God looked over his work and was pleased! He looked at all aspects of his work and when he got to the LS7 he noticed since he had set it back and down for better weight distribution that it would look like a bear in a cave along with the fact that he would be busting some knuckles getting back there so he decreed "Cut the cowl back and push the firewall back so that I may have room to work on my beloved LS7 and not skin my knuckles!!......"

And it was so.....

Vert interesting chassis! Looks kinda like a double rail perimeter or ? Interesting and VERY TRICK LOOKING. If its not too rude to ask a projected budget number would also be interesting. And again, from those pics it looks like top notch quality work.

I shouldnt look at these kinda threads. Just when I convince myself to keep my 67 nova stock, keep it stock, keep it stock, keep it stock I see a project LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!
