Many Thanks, I just disassembled the car again for body and paint, killed me to do it but have to take it over the finish line!

@Novarider72 5 ай бұрын

You can tell you really put some work into that car, especially the underside. I bet you hate to take it apart, but like you said, get the body work paint done, and your plan will be finished. Can't wait to see the car done. I'm in the process of still doing metal work on my Nova. I'm welding in the deck filler panel goes on to the package tray. I gotta take the front fenders off so I can do the cowl .but I'm almost done with the metal work, so I'm grateful for that!! Anyhow, take care, Ray, and God bless

Personally, I'd be in no rush for pimpin the paint. I like the idea of driving something that looks like a mutt, but is all a shredded pitbull within. Like Mad Max's Interceptor. Drive it anywhere I want incognito...no worries about stone chips or parking lot dings...people and cops think it's a klunker, but I know it screams and drives like a dream. 😎

Hey brother great build. Question did you have any issues with the trailing arms hitting the body frame? Did you reinforce the leaf spring pockets ? Thanks !

@RaysGarage 6 ай бұрын

I installed the Ridetech 4-Link cradle with double adjust bars, the lower bars install into the front leaf spring pocket, I also installed the Ridetech sub frame connectors which completely replaces the factory front leaf spring pocket. Its a very strong well built system and have no fitment or operational issues with plenty of clearance with the factory sized Tanks Inc. EFI fuel tank.

Wanted to ask what your budget was, if you wouldn't mind sharing..?

@RaysGarage Ай бұрын

Hi Mark, I started with a completely stock 70 Nova with a 307 two barrel carb and TH350 trans, it was running and driving. My original budget with purchase of the car was $50K including all the upgrades. That budget was blown and now in it $75K with the body work and paint still not complete. I did all of the work myself except for the front end alighment, body and paint work. I could have done the car for a lot less but set out to do it right. It is amazing how the small stuff really starts adding up and also have about 2500 hours in the car to date. I hope this info helps you with your build! Best Regards, Ray

@iramirez95020 8 ай бұрын

My Nova also has the rear shifted to the passenger Side, did you adjust the upper control arms in the ridetech to move it over?

@RaysGarage 8 ай бұрын

Yes, Ridetech's 4-link is fully adjustable. I also started out centering the new QP 9" to the DSE Mini tubs so I only had to make minor adjustments to get the rear axle centered with the correct pinion angle.

I have another question Ray. I have my lower ridetech bar in the middle hole, I see you moved it to the upper most hole now, what made you move it up a hole?

@RaysGarage 8 ай бұрын

@@iramirez95020 Ridetech recommends that when the car is on the ground you want the bar straight/level with the car for daily driving. Move it to the lower hole for drag racing.
