    We rescued a rust bucket 1969 chevy nova from a junkyard in yuma, AZ. Found it on craigslist for $1000. We spent 9 months on it. TONS of work, but the outcome was worth the grind! enjoy!!

    Nice job, believe it or not I think that car was not in to bad of shape compared to a lot I have seen. I have owned a 72 Nova since 1984. Bought it for original owner. I installed a big block in 87. I also painted it in garage in pieces in 87. Still has that paint job on it and still looks good for Cruise nights.

      @brandon benavidez, Thanks i appreciate it! I did 20’s in the rear, and 18’s in the front. You don’t need to lower it as it will already be pretty good with the wheels, and the wheel wells are narrow and shallow. The brand i used was American racing. They fit just right. I tried 20’s in the front and it just sat on the tires. So i put new springs in the front and the 18’s and it fixed the issue. It’s the fine tuning that can drive you crazy, but always remember it’s not a problem, it’s a project!
