    It looked better with the steel wheels. Wider in the back than in front with dog dish hub caps spells sleeper. Just my opinion.

      Yeah, I completely agree. Sleeper doesn't mean keep it under the hood.

    Underside of the body should have been finished. But definitely a sweet little car.

    Why would do so many improvements and not clean and paint the underbody, just installed it on top of the grease and crud?

      You save a FORTUNE on time and work. Google Keith Urban's sleeper Nova, similar concept. Super fast and rusty lol

    From what I understand, When the Nova first came out with the inline six, Chevy had instructions available how to swap in a chevy v8 in there. I just don't understand why they bothered with the inline 6 at all. If they wanted fuel economy, they could have just dropped in a 283 in there instead.

    My 63 6cyl. was 4 lug wheels. It was a super sport complete with three on the tree and the Chrome Kleenex tray

      Oh yeah and then in 64-65 they went to five lug.

    • @bobbrinkerhoff3592

      Five lug became standard equipment in '64 , before that it was optional.

    Great job,but even now more classic chevys are being done with LS engines and now powered electric motor conversions tech is changing fast.new is cool but I still like old school.

    Two big down sides of the early Nova's, small engine bay and no room for a wide or taller tire. You can add all the HP you like but if it wont hook it's going to be slow.

  • @BulletSpoung
    @BulletSpoung 5 років тому +1

    It's a sleeper? If I would see this car one the street I would assume it has a gob of HP and most likely running NOS.
