Re: Nova stocker project.
An simple rear shock change turned into a three week project.
 I wanted to change one thing a little so that meant another thing needed to be redone. This led to that...blah, blah, blah. You guys know the drill, right?  Anyway, the rear is back together with new spring bushings, shackles, hard brake line from the master cylinder on back, stainless lines to the wheel cylinders, stainless rear flex line, wheel studs, rear bearing seals and rear brake shoes. And the new rear shocks that started all this!

Just wanted to add: if anyone needs to replace their steel brake hard lines, the new NiCopp nickel/copper stuff is amazing to work with. It bends like copper tubing but won't kink as easily. You can do 90 degree bends with no kinks just using your thumbs to support the line. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performan...ductId=2111534

Re: Nova stocker project.
Busy, busy, busy at the Koppien shop.
Mike Koppien's green '69 Camaro SS/EA has been out once and is ready to go. Steve Koppien's white '69 has a new ZL-1 in it for AA/SA. Kelly Petterson's '68 Chevelle C/SA has a fresh Steve Koppien 396/375 between the fenders. My Nova has been out once, showed both promise and problems, came apart and is going back together now. Things are going to get noisy this week.
