dropped the rear. he had a 4.11 eaton posi unit back there. the leaf mounts had been moved in and he welded on several pieces to brace it. which we had to cut out to get the 4link to fit over the framerail. its also already tubbed but we are going to have to redo it.

wheels n tires that they screwed up. just looked at em last night and the mounted one of the 235 front tires on the 15x8 rear wheel and scratched the other rear mounting the tire.

we got the front and rear tied together and mocked up the front suspension before we took it all apart again to send to powdercoat. the kit was very complete and it only took us about 4 hours to take the front end apart. pulled the fenders off, pulled the front bumper off, headlights came out, radiator support. only took about an hour to mock the front back up with the subframe shocks and discs/calipers. for a kit this complete we were suprised that the holes had not been drilled for the sway bar yet. unless most people dont use it and they just like to leave options open. we also set up the 4link, the guy is coming out to measure for the 9" today. the brake lines and rear brakes get here today or tomorrow also.

nice man.... can't wait to see how it turns out

 

neither can he. its my old bosses car and my father in law and i are doing the work. hes spending alot on it.

 

we got more work done and i ran outta room in the other post.
fixed pic now

 

good luck guys!

 

wheels are mounted up front and in place in back at about the level he wants them. should ride about this level. they just barely fit in the wheelwells. the car is going to be Jet black, which i thought was kind of a letdown. i hope he doesnt do SS stripes. they are overdone. Yenko stripes look better. but if its not a yenko thats kinda ricey.

Nova SS is one of my dream cars! There's something about that car, I just can't resist. My friends dad had one for the longest time, when he sold it, the guy that bought it had it for a week before he totaled it.
