Custom Mark Williams 12-bolt
 

For the Nova "sleeper" build, I'm using a pretty cool custom built 12-bolt from Mark Williams. It's a super neat piece with 35 spline axles, a 35-spline Detroit Locker, a custom DTS case, moly axle tubes, unit bearings and more. It also looks pretty close to stock (perfect for my sleepy little Nova application). This is part one. I'll follow up with part two (axles) next week. Hope you dig it and thanks for watching! Please subscribe! :)

Do yourself a favor and save up for gun drilled axles, they are worth it. Also, if you're going to put an exhaust system under the car, get electric cut outs. I have both on my car and it's fun to race with.

I've used gun drilled axles before (first set was in 1996), but this car will see street use so its conventional axles for this go-around. :)

If you're going to put on an exhaust system, on my 1969 Camaro Z/28 I have a 2.5 inch flowmasters with electric cut outs. The car will run only .15 to .18 slower through the mufflers rather than open headers and they are pretty quiet. Just a recommendation from experience. What I do is run the car with open cutouts, qualify with that number, make a pass with mufflers and dial the car through the mufflers.

Here's an update on my Nova Build. This is actually part 2 of the rear end video. This one discusses axles. You might find the tech interesting.

Garage Hacks
 

While working in the shop (and in this case, on my sleepy little Nova project) I regularly stumble into "problems". So I have to come up with "solutions"....L-O-L. And some of those solutions turn out to be good old-fashioned garage hacks. I compiled six of them in video format that actually worked pretty well. They're certainly not fancy and they're sure not expensive. Check 'em out (click to view):
