Too true, but this Nova is Killer!

The Black '70 and the Orange Cooler are perfect just as they are!

Yep--the 15" tires fill in the gap better than 14" wheels when lifted all around. Your front to rear pitch may-be the angled look your lookin for....Car looks like it has no manners at all and doesn't care...

OK, I finally found the thread with the spacers in it. Looks like they raise the car about an inch. Anyone have these?

Check out the ex manifold in the pictures!! Sure looks like a Corvette exhaust manifold that "doesn't fit" a Camaro.......

Ditch the steelies for this application. NO ONE ran them in those days. At least a set of Chrome reverse if you are out of money! Looks like an old Mennonite car from the farm with those wheels on it. Hey Eric.....I thought you were on my side.

Yea, but I lie!! Besides when did you become a working man? I have a brand new pair of 15X5 chrome reverse that would help that car out alot. I will trade you for them.

Yeah Wilma, you might as well put those cool neon lights under the car coupled with those shiny chrome reverse wheels to make sure your presence is known!



Sorry, could not resist........... Stealth is where its at. Speak softly and carry a big "RAT"!
