[9C1Beater]

Thanks guys...I appreciate all of your comments. I'm not on here to grind an axe or make enemies. I just want to be treated honestly and fairly, and if I present info on here that can be backed up (which I have), then I want it to be acknowledged by the guy who asked it (that is not too much to ask).

I have posted all of this info on Steves Nova Site (and quite a bit more), but felt it might receive more interest on here, and I would like to post more of the unusual things on the car here (like its full-size rear brakes). I still don't know exactly what is on this car as far as the front suspension, which may be standard Nova SS stuff (or Z28 stuff...at this point unknown). Harry Hammond can't recall exactly what they did to the car...only bits and pieces (that was 44 years ago).

I think I have located Jim Ingle in the Detroit metro area and plan to contact him soon. He was the suspension guy and made most of those changes to the prototype. I would especially like to ask him about the unusual rear springs and rear brakes, and get his memories of the time at the GM Proving Ground, what it was like to work with Vince Piggins at the Tech Center, and his memories of the trip to LA in the prototype.

I don't plan on changing anything on the car, other than to rebuild the tired, smoking engine and replace the squeaking smog pump. I think it is far too historic to alter a single thing.

Martin, was your Yenko Nova at Carlise in June? There was only one there and I think it was the same color as yours. And Paul, I hope you post a lot of stuff on your 9C1 Nova on the 9C1 Registry on SNS when it's done. I posted the photos that Harry Hammond gave me on the Registry a couple of days ago.
