Is it a big block car or small block? Looks like you did some torch work on those rockers. Look like you are doing it the right way also. I know its alot of work doing an old car . Keep us posted on the progress
 
its a small block,yeah its a project my dad and i started and are getting close to finished, the whole bed is ripped out. we just need to do body work on the right door, quarter panel, and finish up the rocker, and then the tail gate has a few dents.
 
I've got a 1974 Nova 2 door. It's Currentlly in the shop because of my hard habit to break (Racing). I don't know if anyone feels the same as I do, but it is a hard habit to break. Until you do what I did or worst. I blew my engine because I pushed it so hard, and gladly have learned a lesson. Well heres my favorite car.

Woo, its been awhile since I posted here. Hows everyone been?

Nice to see new Muscle Car members here. Dont believe the location on my post. I got rid of the Neon for an 88lx 5.0. Offroad H pipe, shorties, 3.73 cogs, Trick Flow heads, RPM II Performer Intake, and Some Nitto's out back. Im using aftermarket pony wheels atm but I might switch to Roush wheels sometime later (they look awesome).

Just think, we have the pleasure of driving on the same roads as that guy. :rolleyes:

Yes, its very pleasureful. :) j/k That isnt very bad at all considering all the jack*ss's we have on the road anyway. I dont think he is stupid enough to do that with other cars around.

Too true, there are some great idiots on the roads these days. I might have to agree about him, but who knows, he could still be the dumbest driver you ever met. :D

Liking the cowl hood....what did it have in it? And is that a earlier chevelle I see in the background (of the 2nd pic)?
 
M/T valve covers are real cool. Nice 350. How's the El Camino coming (i remeber you posted pics, wondering if you've worked on it any since then)?

Actually we havnt been working on it, its just been non stop rain, and still cold here in Maryland and my dad has been flying all over the place for work, were hopeing to get it all in primer by June
 
nice, dude!! tell your father he had a cool car (: what happened with it?

anyway, lets post something I found by accident. some of you may remember that rollazn not long ago posted a thread with a bunch of scans about the NSX-R. well, browsing the forum (jabba's worl) where these mag scans were, I found these scans, that are REALLY cool. two camaros, and a cuda. go there and read them, and get the pics of course. they are cool.
but what I most love is how the threads that contain these pics have 0 replys, and the threads with any japanses car have 8+ pages. ASSHOLES. get the pics here:

well, there's my "post" of the week. try revising the forum these scans are posted in, they have cool stuff there, too.

I think he finally sold it to get a new car, and it ended up that the person he sold it to wrecked it pretty bad..
 
I know this isn't a real hot-rod american, but I met someone at a show last night with a seventies Merc saloon. Metallic black with just the odd bit of chrome, 19 inch chrome alloys, 5-litre engine from a crashed E500 with 326bhp, straight-through exhausts and a beautiful leather hand-stitched interior.

He was selling it for just £2500 but I didn't get his phone no. and I'm only 16 anyway.

It was a beauty though.
 
My 1974 Nova is finally out of the shop. I replaced the original 350 small block with a racing stock 350 small block. I got the racing cams, and racing heads with that engine. It's faster and run way better. next step is switching to dual exhaust. I don't know if I should get flowmasters, magnaflows, or just the stock dual exhaust they used in the 1974 Nova SS. Somebody let me know what you would go with.

Hey Cano that list of links was exactly what I needed. See I have been trying to find that billet grille that the 1970 Nova has on it. I've searched everywhere online and have came up empty handed. So as soon as I saw that I posted a reply hopefully someone kniows where to purchase it.
