Hi guys, my name is mike and I like in phoenix. I have been tinkering with this 65 nova project for about a yr. First I rebuilt the front end and rear end while putting in a 350/350 combo and found out that the stock front end is a death trap at speeds above 60. So now Im at installing a chassisworks front clip, relocating the spring perches and narrowing a 12 bolt in an effort to go 10's on all motor without hacking the rear of the car up.
My other car is a super clean 82 olds cutlass station wagon that I'm looking to swap a GN drivetrain or similar set up into. I just want to be able to cruise comfortably.

The frame is perfect. Az car, looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Even the dash is uncracked.
