At the beginning stages of a car build here. I thought I would create a thread for those who wanted to follow along. I may ask opinions on this or that along the way. If you have any dos or don’ts I will listen.

A little about the build idea. 66 Chevy II all steel except for hood and deck lid. 25.2 chassis specs.

I like it. I love Chevy II's. Looks like a good start with a nice body.

Check out the Tim Mcamis build series on YouTube. He has a lot of great tips if you need them. Good luck on your build.

What are you going with for front suspension ?

DD can pass some of his wisdom along

Full tube chassis with strange double adjustable front strut

4 link 9” rear with strange components. 40 spline gun drilled axles and JRI double adjustable rear shocks

He has forgotten more than I’ll ever know

I put the chassis-works bolt on strut front end on mine. I like the 6” travel just not crazy about Alstons way of doing things. They won’t even sale a rebuild kit for the struts. Send them in and they will redo them

Killer car to build.

Will be watching, it looks like youre off to a good start ! Perfect time of year !

Hands down my favorite model of Nova, looks like you are off to a solid start. Nothing much more gratifying than reaching your own accomplishments!

I'll be following your progress!

Man give me flashbacks. That is almost exactly what my 66 nova looked like whn we bought it.

Looking good. Good luck with build

Thank you everyone!

I love build threads. Can always learn something from them. Good luck with your project.

I had a 67 2dr Hardtop. I sold it off 23 years ago so I could put my truck back together. I wish I would have kept it.
