Maybe drag racing's different since it seems like most guys these days just make a phone call and get out the checkbook.

Nice car. Wish I had the foresite to leave mine stock 30 years ago. Got a feeling the current economy may take care of the "credit" racers. Many of us may have to go back to doing work ourselves. Since you have a couple, am sure you know where to get parts for these cars. There's an outfit down by Louisville, Ky that can get nearly anything. Chevy II's Only. PM me if you don't have information on them.

Nice car project, congradulations.

I'm mostly a chrysler guy, but if I was to buy a chevy it would have
to be a 66/67 nova stick car.

Thanks again for sharing.

Enjoyed your "Work In Progress Shots". I am sure they will serve as inspiration for others.
Keep them coming.
Great job.

Nice project post, I love it!
I went with Robert down there to Chevy II Only, I was amazed at what all they carried. Several old cars and front ends around as well.
When Robert acquired that old Deuce back in the seventies it was white with a hand applied flame job running down the side...As I recall we were looking for a post car at the time because it fit a class better.

paul, my brother doug bought the 55 dale used to race, so we were at his farm place, quite an experience. when people talk about barn find this is really it. i was amazed at the no. of cars he had laying around back then, most are probably gone by now, but you never know. when i get a little more computer illiterate im going to try to post some pictures of my 67 vette that im doing for a,b, and top stock, im pretty excited to have it out next summer anyway keep up the good work novas were the first love of my car life ive always got a soft spot for them. lynn
