Internal regulated alternator conversion To-Do List: Shakedown runs and debugging Bought the car on New Years eve 2009 after I bailed out of my '69 Camaro project. Original owner was a Vietnam Helicopter pilot/mechanic so the car was in good shape aside from the primer, worn suspension, and worn drivetrain. Even the cigarette lighter worked! So I tore it down and rebuilt the suspension, relocated the shocks, rebuilt the engine and trans, swapped in the rear and redid the brakes, etc etc. Basically it was stock when I got it, so if it's a part and it's not stock I did it. Hit the road with it in the spring of 2011 and it drives and handles great. Very flat around corners even with the 15" tires. However I am rethinking the 4.11 gears with no OD. |
Gotta love a 4-speed Nova! Any plans for paint in the future?

Debating a rim change
From 15" Greg Weld Racelites to 17" Soft 8s. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...6/0e80bcdf.jpg vs http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...6/2328341a.jpg Thoughts? |
no.
|
Fan of the idea of switching to 17s, not a fan of the wheels chosen.

Black spokes in that sizing would probably look great. Not entirely feeling those though.

nope, any way someone can photoshop the centers of these wheels in black chrome? anyone know what wheels these are? some what similar to a TT2 but I like the subtle differences...
|
Yeah, I'm over them already LOL. Oh well.

Clicked off 40 miles last weekend without a hitch and liked the timing change. Runs solid at ~170 degrees and handles WAY better than it should with fat 60 series tires. I think it needs some carb tuning still, but it's not too far off. I also switched the oil over to VR1 and drained out the break-in gear lube. It was odd to do "normal people" maintenance on it. LOL. |
Awwww yea!
|
