@@cdh1320 Love the build. I'm honestly asking cause I do not know but how you running in the 10s and don't have a roll cage in the car? All the tracks I've seen requires a roll cage for 11.49 or less. Just honestly curious. I don't know what I don't know lol
@@cdh1320 hey man I've been building a 67 ii since I was 15yo haha. This is exactly how I envisioned my car being done with the right ration of nostalgia:modern. I've even had the billet specialties for years now. But I've redone my front clip a few times already... Went from rebuilding the stock, to the cpp stuff with stock wheel wells with cut out for fender well headers. To now I a full church boys front clip bout to go on it. I see ur wearing the CBR shirt. Interested to know more about ur front clip/ leaf spring setup.(looks like cal-tracs maybe on rear) I'm currently finishing up my own garage to finish the build. Can't wait to have the full CBR clip on it. Just curious to know more about your suspension setup socks etc. Your car def rides up like a cutter thru ice love it
You have a well handled car when you can "casually" keep 1 hand on the wheel & hang one arm out the window while killing mosquitos 8:12 .... That smoke show at 0:23 u can see 4 separate streams lol that is pretty cool man!
I think he has old school style slider bars on the leaf springs. They still work really well. It also appears he has loose front shocks allowing a lot of weight transfer. Hey modern radial race cars have gone sub 4.0 1/8th mile on a 275 radial which is not much bigger than this tire. Of course that is on a track prepped with a ton of traction compound…
Best engine ever...l96 basically ls3 but a lil smaller but stronger cause it's not aluminum and it has the square port heads then you put the lsa supercharger on it and you got an indescribable daily driven 10 second car that's reliable....good stuff
Good looking car, nothing beats a second gen deuce. Nice stance. And that burnout! WOW! With a blown LSA, who needs a big block? Engine looks like it was born to be in there. Kudos on the build.
Such a sweet build and entirely relatable!! I loved Shawn’s reaction when the loud pedal got tapped, he was genuinely surprised at how brutal the car was! Car hooks up really cleanly and gets moving forward fast!! 🔥🔥😊😊👍🏼👍🏼
I'm right there with you. I adore the 90s street rod/ProStreet look. You knocked the look outta the park. I could handle a slightly fatter tire and offset in the rear. Great car.
@@dougpearson4711 EEEEEVERYTHING about that car is 90s pro street. You simply have zero clue as to what 90s pro street is or looks like obviously. Its ok Dougy. You'll learn. Eventually.
The ole GT Grant. Lol. Truly the steering wheel of 90s budget hot rodding. 😆 I've owned several. My favorite is the 3 spoke with 3 holes in each spoke. Great steering wheel.
'66 and '67 Nova. One of my top 3 favorite cars of all time. He built this one right. No need to build something with a 1,000hp for the street. Performance to weight ratio is the only number to worry about.
Respect to the Nova , my pops has the exact same car , it's black on black . His is 327 four speed with 4.10 gears , not as quick as this one but quick enough ! Love the fact that it's not overly customized , that's what makes these muscle cars stand out! Super Cool !! 👍
I know Chad personally and he's a hard egg to crack. It's cool to see him smile a bit here. Man, that car is amazing. I would probably be perma-grinned, but that's just me. Haha.
Good stuff Chad. Car looks great. Long way from wrenching on our old cars in high school. Definitely brings back good memories of my 67 Nova. One day I'll get one again. I'll have to ask you for help this time around.
Dig the build simple clean and way faster than Id ever guess. Novas look so good in black just sinister. Never knew the dash/gauges were the same as the Chevelles same yr
I'm glad Shawn had and experienced a hot rod built for drag racing on the channel. Nothing fancy just pure power. The pro-touring and show cars are nice but nothing compares to a hot rod built for drag racing. Since it's the only race that matters.
Gotta ❤ it. Besides being drivable and chill it's still a beast. I love the stock interior and that dashboard display is insane. 😊 Nova's are like the forgotten Chevy. Kinda similar to the Dodge Dart. Not sure if anyone else could agree with the comparison.
What a sweet Nova! Love those Dakota Digital gauges that look stock, definitely getting a set for my General Lee restomod! Totally different odd style of course, but my mom had a 1974 Nova with the Spirit of America package. She got it new, doesn’t have it anymore though. Again, impressive build here, great job on the car!
Beautiful. Take it to the grocery store and not break the eggs. Take it for a rip and not break the budget. Take it to the streets and break some hearts. Props.
I mean, I've never been afraid to drive my big block anywhere in the country. 725 NA hp at the flywheel. Simple 496 hydraulic roler. With a 300 dollar used nx mainline nitrous kit it went 9.60 on a 150 shot with thesame 255x60. This build is $$$$$.
Killer sound Chad. You have all the right components keep up the good 👍 work, it hooks up beautifully 😍 its class and raw all at the same time. Thanks 😊 again Shawn, you're a happining dude
Sweet car and super cool build, reminds me of my high-school 66 duce, I would love to pick his brain on set up, I have a clean 64 rambler American I want to do a similar build
yup grew up watchin these things rip the dragstrip! Hardly anything can catch these little buggahs! but back then it was ole’ skool big blocks. now this thing is bitchin’ man!
Totally bitchin’ build! I have always liked the ‘66-67 Novas. They look kinda like a scaled down ‘66-67 Chevelle. I love that he left the car still looking like a mostly stock ‘60’s muscle car. I have the same tastes. The one drawback to these cars from a performance standpoint are the small rear tire openings. Guessing the 8” wheel and 255 tire was the biggest that fits without mini tubbing the rear quarters. I do wonder how in the world he was able to run 10.30’s at an NHRA sanctioned track with no roll cage. Heck it doesn’t even have a roll bar!
Yeeeaaah I don't know about that. I was thinking the same thing. No harnesses either. Heck 20 years ago I was doing mid 12s in a 69' Camaro with just a lap belt at an NHRA track and they waved me off.
I'm cryin😭........when Shawn goes "son of a bitch?" and looks over I know, and with the way o'l boy was grinnin😈, Shawn was like "💭this dude is the 😈 750 whp my a$$💭"......................🗣️"DUDE I DIG YOUR CAR!!!!!"😁................😭😭😭🥶
Thanks for the opportunity to shoot with you guys! Had a great time!
Really, really nice build, sir 👍😲
How much did it cost to build?
@@sanfranciscobay About 80k so far

That's how you LS. Wonderful car. I love that the owner showed up with the paint looking proper. Kudos!
Love the license plate lol 😆 This car is such a beautiful Monster!
In '86 my 1st car was a '66 hardtop Nova. Sweet ride.

That’s what it’s bout, Drive it and enjoy it. Great build.
This is my fave build in a long time, though I love 'em all! Chad is pretty intense and sure knows his shit. Thanks for the smiles.
The rides you get on this channel are out of hand bro what a gig
0:43 I own that car today 😎
Nice build , perfect mix of old and new
Pretty impressive car man. Amazing how well it hooks with a 255. Great build!!

Who doesn’t love a Gorgeous 66 / 67 Chevy II powered by Gods favorite engine 🤤🤓
Sick build, super classy keeping it as stock as possible🙌🏼
Now that is a badass build. I liked how tame the city drivability was. Then it shits and gets!
Proper Set-up for a Real Steel Deal Street Rod.. Bravo 👏✊🙌🙏💯🏁🏆💯🇺🇸🎯
The 66 nova ss is one of my favorite muscle cars
Your reaction to those pulls tells us everything we need to know 🤣
Actually the intro does

Great sound

Novas look so good in black just sinister.
Never knew the dash/gauges were the same as the Chevelles same yr
Love Shawns reaction on this one!
Awesome build! Definitely one of my all time favorites on this channel.
That car is sick, love the sound of the motor.
Super cool! These are probably my favorite year Novas!
Damn that supercharger sounds so sweet! I need one of those.
6:46 that feeling NEVER gets old! 😂😂
I'm glad Shawn had and experienced a hot rod built for drag racing on the channel. Nothing fancy just pure power. The pro-touring and show cars are nice but nothing compares to a hot rod built for drag racing. Since it's the only race that matters.
Absolutely agree! Perfectly setup to hook and go.
Shawn, you are a lucky man to check out rides like this, What a beast!
That car is tight.....Great build.
The complete source of endless smiles forever......outta sight.....
Looks like very fun times were had during this episode! I love that setup!
Wonderful build, I noticed when he nails it the car comes up nice n square. Another quality build and great video too. Good job ALA!
Nice Chevy II. Rare. Perfect daily driver. Cool livable killer package. 👍👍❤❤😎😎🤑🤑
This car is sick! Classically clean, modernly mean.
Gotta ❤ it.
Besides being drivable and chill it's still a beast.
I love the stock interior and that dashboard display is insane.
😊
Nova's are like the forgotten Chevy.
Kinda similar to the Dodge Dart.
Not sure if anyone else could agree with the comparison.
That nova is bad ass man one of my favorite top 3 for sure
What a car ! That thing looks like fun all day long ! 👍😀
That thing is an absolute ripper. No frills. Just bald eagles screamin' like a rabid demon.
Hope your well Shawn.
Dang such a pretty car. Love the pro street look with the new school motor
Again 100% badass! Thanks Shawn and team! ❤
Beautiful simple build!!
I love the cowl hoods on these old school monsters!
Yeah that’s the one for me !! Real nice and clean looking car … and that pick up power. Great job on the car and as always excellent quality video..
Don't get much better,,damm ,it frickin sweet build..luv those Nova's ( 66 )
Love that supercharger whine!

Badass '66 Nova, perfect stance!
Sounds and looks amazing.
Killer car, I have a black on black Deuce with Billet Specialties, I'm taking them off and putting Cragars on
And you left much of the original look. Super Sweet.
That's a bad ass ova. I freaking LOVE THAT CAR. I ONLY WISH!!!!
One of my favorites so far on the channel
I love this car too
Beautiful. Take it to the grocery store and not break the eggs. Take it for a rip and not break the budget. Take it to the streets and break some hearts. Props.
Clean simple and fast 👍
No plastic or fiberglass crap, love it.
Amazing build. Looks and sounds incredible!
Sweet ride. That take off is amazing
Running ramshod & rippshyte all over the place. Luv the spherical Heim joint suspension.
Dude...wtf?
That's one tough Nova.... Smoke 'em if ya got 'em! 😎👍

So nice...I like the ones like this a lot guys!
A lot of thought has gone into the setup of this car. A roll cage and full harness belts might be worth investing in🤔
2 words...BAD 🤣🤣. Love this car. Great shoot, as always.
My favorite nova body and my favorite color, real nice ride
Sweet car and super cool build, reminds me of my high-school 66 duce, I would love to pick his brain on set up, I have a clean 64 rambler American I want to do a similar build
To all the cars claiming 700+hp… this is what 700hp looks like!

Love those old chevy’s!
That is awesome great build guy ….keep safe people
That’s as good as it gets. Fantastic car. More fun than you should have with your clothes on, and practical at the same time.
Awesome nova !! Thanks for sharing
