PERFECT, When I was 4-5 years old my Dads buddy had a 66 Nova Brand New and they built a Drag Racer Almost exactly like this one. I believe it was even the Same color. My Dad was one of his Group of Friends with a Garage. So his buddy's brought their cars to our house a lot. I was bitten by the bug early on. They fired that Chevy 2 up and the Down spouts fell off the house and the windows where Rattling. I was in love. My Pop had a lot of Nice old Chevys and Drag Raced OUR FAMILY 1966 biscayne 283 -4 speed on the Weekends. That man Could Shift a Car!!! And come off the line like a Pro. I Remember hanging on the Chain link fence at Lapeer Drag Strip in Michigan watching him. Thanks for this build it brings Back Good Memories. I lost him 4 years ago.

Why can't more Hot rod TV shows be like this?? No BS or foolish drama. Just cool cars being built...the right way...and in realistic time frames. Fantastic project from start to finish. Black steel rims on back are super cool.

Those chrome wobblie's explode! DANGER!

Oh Man !, watching this build took me back to the days of me youth. TY

Fantastic nice team of guys working on that machine yes I'm 62 and I've had at least $10 I made a four-wheel drive and convertible 2ss has a 6 cylinder and a V8 all Factory very nice machine they made

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I LOVE MY GASSER FAMILY!!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND EDUCATION. THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE BUILDS!!!!

That is so cool y'all have Steve on the show. I read everything he's talking about back in the day. Love the shoe box too.

Pretty cool, more or less a bolt together project, wish they ALL were that easy!! This car/project brings back a lot of memories, great build guy's!!

Steve is like the Sheldon Cooper of the hot rod world. LS-1 might be a boo- boo! 🤪 Cool!

Thank you so much. Gassers bring back many happy memories of when my dad took me to the drag strip on Friday and Saturday nights. Great video and thanks for sharing!!!! Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication. I really appreciate it.

Mr Know-It-all Magnante needs to lighten up on the caffeine lol

66-67’ nova is my all time favorite car and you guys definitely did it justice 🤘🏽😁🤘🏽

That cars something, great job guys 👍😎

Great build guys! The one thing that I didn't like was putting that much time and effort into a great car and then putting drum brakes on the back........

after breaking the upper A frame in my chevelle i took the straight axle out of a old dodge pick up of my dad's and worked it in under my chevelle, also giving way more fredom to modify the frame when later in the next year spring when i dropped the hemi into it. Up side was i no longer had to carry to diffrent rim styles as i all ready had a ford 9 inch front load diff in it on leafsone alternation i done was i used leaf springs from a Datsun pick up on the front axle wanting the shorter length spring than the dodge had. as well as the datsun springs had a softer arch because i did not want the stance or a air plane in take off mode as i call it, back in my drag racing days things were alot diffrent rules for modified street if had a roll cage and brakes and no steering peices held with bailing wire was about all you needed to build some thing to go faster than the guy beside you. now the as i callem woosies pout if some one is smarter to know how to modifie things like valves crannks ect ect to make hidden inside mods to pound out more ponies. in my eyes drag racing is how to build more power more speed to beat your oponant in the same bore bracket and flat estimated et brackets

If I used the Jerico Tranny 1st gear would be 2.36, 2nd gear- 1.88, 3rd gear 1.53, 4th gear 1.17 and 5th gear 1.00... That's what I run in my Pro Comp. If I used the Muncie, 1st gear is 2.20, 2nd gear is 1.64, 3rd gear is 128, and 4th gear is 1.00. as always. The M - 21 Muncie is the best ,spaced out, close ratio transmission that they ever made. Sometimes with the Jerico I've had to experiment with different gears many time to feel like the gears feel all the same while I'm shifting. Process of elimination, but it works. The ones that I gave you are the closest to the muncie feel except the 1.17 4th gear which keeps me pulling along. Good Day Sirs.

Car starts out just like my grandma's 66 chevy 11 nova, two door sedan Bought it in Coolidge Az,

Perfect, I had a 64 SS Nova and a 69 SS high boy and man do I miss those cars.

Good work ❤️👍🏻👍🏻

Toss that bearing grease cone gadget and get some on your hands. Pack it in there, man.

Beautiful work guys. ❤️

I like the color chops good too

13:00. Oh, all those shavings into the tank! I love it.

dad had 62 nova 2 i think 4 doors which needed key to unlock from inside back doors,dad loved it ,needed to put key into back pop-up latch,child proof at time

Definitely favorite

Awesome build but, what sucks is we did not get to see it go down the track.

Never , never tighten poly bushing until weight is on the car . If not for speedway , you couldn't fine a pig in a tree .

Gassers Rock!

That is so sick

Like the show...But thats a 66 nova guys!

Great build, the car will never pass tech at the track without driveshaft safety support. that be really bad to have u joint or the tail shaft break and drop down at speed it launch that car end over end. you guys are doing great job. Why is the battery not level shouldn't it. I've never seen one installed like that ???

Gotta love gassers, I want to build n old International pickup, gasser style but put a built up 7.3 diesel in it...

Cool!!!

love the build but those air scoops are dangerous af. the "filters" can catch on fire real easy. they are basically just shop vac foam filters cut into a circle

wtf that was fasttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sheeeeeessshhhhhhh....

didnt see you guys degreeing the cam should have a jessel belt drive for the cam and set the lobe centers

That car would be super cool with a 348/409!!

they come back more to youtube again

Great build im building a 1955 chevy gasser, but the tilt column is a no no not period no tilts untill later and most novas ,camaros and chevelles with tilt column's were rare and never used in gassers too heavy!

So what happened to the old parts, I'd be interested as I have a 67 ss

Never assume anything when dismantling a car.

Where did you get the headers for that car thanks

Nice.

Love the camera affect at the end slow the film car down to appear the project car is launching that hard good job

Kind of looks like a resto and upgrades were already done except they left the original drive train in for the show guys to do.

I didn't see any seatbelts?

Yee yeee

A GM power glide is an overlooked transmission,IMO.

Complete assembly of the front clip, front and rear brakes and suspension. Not a torque wrench in sight...

Can the A pillar bars be any further from the A pillars?

I have always wanted to build a inline 6 drag car

Whats the song at the end?

What brand are the new shocks?? Noticed in the last couple of seconds in the video right before the road test is has a different set of shocks... why?

Are you going to add world greatest drag race 9

have you ever heard of disk breaks and independent suspension all round? it's quite an old thing fron the end of the XXth century. Holley sniper EFI direct injection maybe ?

Did that dude at 1:48 just drip brake fluid on that painted fender???

Why Drum brakes on the rear??

Not one bolt torqued.... Should go over well....

I'm not a gaser fan but dam I'd have some fun in that just looks and sounds mean good job

Why does no one ever put seat belts in these cars?

would be interesting to know the cost of all this modification

you guys plumbed the fuel line incorrect the regulater should be on the return gas line so it has unrestricted fuel flow to the carbs the regulater inhibits theflow of fuel so it should be unrestricted to carbs and have a t after carbs and you install regulater after the t after the carbs get there fuel set pressure and it will let any fuel above 7 lbs go back to tank

Real Gassers have 3 pedals.

I hope somebody smart snatched the old engine and parts for their build or to use when the very datable gasser trend passes and nobody wants it.

You dont need a back seat in a 60s dragcar?? Where's the ladies gonna sit when you take it out for a nite on the town cruising. Lol

you guys hooked up n fuel regulator wrong ,in the wrong place it needs to be on the return line to fuel tank so it has unrestricted flow to the injection or carberator what ever feed you have so the fuel line is totally open to carb then you have a t after the carb fuel intake then on the return line you regulate the pressure that way no restriction to engine ther regulator restricts fuel flow

Great car if it only had a 4 speed !?

chevy talking

I have a wet start up every morning...

Y love the nova vous aurier du lui monter un chassis de courses a non c est vraie c est mono coke avec un compresseur elle aurait beaucoup plus de classe et de puissance

I just can't understand all that time and labor in a low budget 2dr post model (something an old lady would drive to church). A 2dr hardtop would've looked so much better....Guess I'll have to build one....

I guy with glass , is a weasel

watched the whole build.. looks great. then they ruin the whole thing at the end with music that drowns out the sound of the car.

Were did the host get the hood vents for his wife’s car?

I thought a gasser was supposed to have a manual 4-speed. Is that wrong?

Whatever happened to that blonde girl Jessie so used to work on Motor Trend 10 years ago

should of ran electric water pump it would free up horse power

i wanna put 2jz on that or old vw golf mk1

ORANGE WINDOW TINT.

Last but not least. I would never stroke an engine. It is ALWAYS FASTER with the 3.76 stroke in a Big Block Chevy. I have never lost with my 402 SS Chevelle to a 458 or any stroked motor. My 477 CID Big Block with a 4.500 Bore and a 3.76 stroke ate every car that ran next to me. My 402 , 1970 SS 402 would eat that 496 stroked motor for lunch. I would put $10,000.00 on it right now. That's how sure I am.

жаль что из русского авто не получается достойный спорткар(((

Automatic and gasser do not go in the same sentence...

11 ads in a 40 minute video. You guys are greedy

Someone tell Steve to calm tf down.

Sooooo... i was hoping to hear why its called "Week to Wicked"... is it just a spelling goof???

Third

I want my 45 minutes back!

I just can't get into the gasser thing. It pretty much makes cars undriveable

Waist of a clean car

This guys mannerisms r annoying...idk y motor trend is trend to sell him so tuff..

Wow, an LS engine!!! FFS!! strap some C4 to that thing!!!!

Ffs

Steve M is cool , that other guy is not

Automatic...... wack

Gassers do not have autos.

A lot of these KZfaqrs getting paid for View, seem to get a lot of pride out of opening packages and bolting stuff on ,we never had a KZfaq sugar daddy paying the bills ,we had to go to the junk yards or fabricate our own parts and that's where a lot of the fun was . I'm not hating I'm just pointing that out.

Is this impressive?...hard to say. Without prices, who knows...My guess is $50K in this sled...is that impressive?...NOPE. What was the cost of the car to begin with...superclean and probably worth a few bucks.

Ruined a perfectly beautiful car. All it needs is more horse 🐎 power and the right set of tires and rims. I owned a 1967 with the two speed six banger. It was a beautiful car 🚙 but I was young and could not afford to build it up the way I really really wanted two . I was a in the 11 graders in high school. That was way back in 1975. It was a shower not a goer .

Yeah it's cool but don't get your hopes up finding this clean of a car to build. Like nothing in the real world and not on a show goes together like this. You will spend an hour fighting a bolt and hating life for a while.

Why is that Jason guy got to do show like this? He's not funny or have knowledge. He's pretty ignorant imo.
