65 burban!

[autox 89 dx]

Well the nova is gone and now I bought this

My plans are to bag it and drop my nova motor I have in it ( early 70 LT1)

 

[hondarin]

Nice! Can't wait to see more

 

[autox 89 dx]

Got some new wheels

And painted them to match

 

[newb]

Off to a good start! Whats the run down on that Nova motor?

 

[Jeef]

I fucking love it. Those things were small back then.

Off to a good start! Whats the run down on that Nova motor?

Wanna get a 700 r4 and ditch the powerglide

 

[newb]

Nice!

If you want over drive in that thing you should check out an Optishift controller and a 4L80E. Bullet proof combo.

Took a pic with the truck rallys on. Really needs a drop

 

[|Chaz|]

Don't know if its just me, but I much preferred the other rims...

 

[double0Si]

I hope its just you. I know theyre not period correct but I like the later rally wheels with beauty rings. My dad stole a set off my brothers 71' Nova (mid-build) for his el Camino. But now he's rocking good ol' Torque Thrust D's

Thats a great start. My well built 355/700R4 combo would be awesome in that!

 

[|Chaz|]

I hope its just you.

Lmao. Hey I think they look hot wheel's ish. The other rims seem to make the car look more dated. Unless that's the point

 

[double0Si]

We prefer the term "period correct." A Hot wheelish look is best saved for hot wheelish tuners.

 

[|Chaz|]

Haha, what do I know? It's a cool 'burban, I've actually never seen a 65' until now.

 

[hondarin]

I think those wheels just need wider rubber

 

[autox 89 dx]

I think those wheels just need wider rubber

Ya they came with the rims and the tires are new so it will do for now I guess

 

[autox 89 dx]

So I got my taxes back and now I have to choose between finishing the motor I have and installing it or getting my air ride ?

 

[BodyDroppedNikes]

you gonna body drop it while bagging it? i think it will look dope as shit laid out on some big billet 22s.

 

[BigJ]

Super cool.

 

[autox 89 dx]

Does anyone know where i can get a good air ride setup for a good price? I called slammed specialties and its about 1700 bucks for a complete manifold kit with the bags brackets and everything I would need.
