- Hey guys today were getting our 1000hp Chevy nova street car back on the road for the first time in years. Ive owned this car for years but its been off the road for the last 6 yerars or so. But today were getting it ready and taking it for its maiden voyage. Car show season is around the corner and we need to break it in and work out an issues. I hope you guys enjoy and thank you for watching. Please like and subscribe.
Your honesty and humor are why I come back every time you upload a new video. I don’t even like 68-72 Nova’s! 🤣
Not everyone’s cup of tea. Hahaha. If that’s the case I owe you a video on something you like lol. Thank you very much for your continued support. I recognize the user name every time you post a comment. It means a lot to me so thank you for that.
Great video man. Good stuff. Love the 72. I have a 72 in progress. One nasty nova you have there.
Thank you Tony. Weather is getting nice hopefully you’re getting close to having your car ready to go. Thanks for watching.
sick nova,the third center eye is bad ass
Thank you, this car is my baby. Thanks for watching.
Has 1100HP, Im absolutely terrified of it......BUT its got room to grow to 2k lol still waiting on that foot print gas pedal. Keep it up the good work dude
I’m already scared. So what’s the difference between 1100-2000 at this point right? Hahahaha. Foot print gas pedal is in the works just for you.
Love the Nova I've owned 3 of them. Really enjoyed the video keep'em coming please. New Subscriber too. Best of luck, and Take Care!!!
Obviously you have very good taste if you’re a nova guy hahahaha. Thank you for checking out the page I’m glad you’re enjoying the content and thank you for subscribing. See you on the next one.
Very happy to see this finally see some pavement and you getting some seat time. Bravo bro 👏 proud of you!
That’s pal. Would have been at the show on Sunday except I didn’t want to throw my little guy in there lol.
I think it's cool nova.
Thank you for watching
That thing is wild
I’ve never climbed on a gorillas back but I imagine it’s like riding a gorilla around the zoo after you jump on his back and scream in his ear.
The rear noise could be a axle bearing. Nice car . One day ill leave nitrous and go turbo. Just dont like all the pipes and heat when using a turbo or twins. Especially to change spark plugs. Maybe a super charger, screw or procharger. Anyway good luck .
Very good ear buddy, I’ve actually looked at the car since filming the video and it is a axle bearing. Nitrous is awesome and simple but I’m bit by the boost bug. The pipes are cumbersome for sure but the pipes are full of fun lol. You won’t regret it. Thanks for watching!
Want me to come and help you clean the garage out first don't want to crawl in leaves❤😂cool nova bud
What an excellent guy, Thanks for the offer that’s awesome. This place is a wreck. Too many projects going on, not enough space and just going from one project to the next without taking time to reset. Thanks for watching.
Nice car
Thank you just needs some paint now. Thanks for watching
Great content 💯
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
Cool video dude.
Thank you very much for watching.
Yes sir
Thank you for watching!
Cool Nova!
Thank you. And thank you for watching!
Whoa !!
Those were my exact thoughts hahaha. Thanks for watching!
That area looks like either Maryland or PA...
Yeah it shocks people to know that most of New York outside the city is rural. If only the taxes were like md or pa. Hahaha. Thanks for watching
Drag & Drive is in your future........
That’s absolutely the plan. Thanks for watching.
Sounds like rear gears, whining. Who set them up?
I agree. Only reason I don’t think it’s gears is because the gears have been in the car for like 8 years and never made a single peep. I set them up.
@@americannostalgiagarage Ok
Just came across your channel where are you from?
Hey Joe, glad you found the channel, hope you stay as a viewer. I’m from New York. Thanks for watching
Can u drive long distance with a set up like that similar to a sick week cruise
Ideally that’s what I’m working towards with this car. Need to just get some local miles down on it and work all the kinks out. But yes that’s the plan. I’m also planning on getting the 66 nova I’ve been building on the channel down for hot rod drag week although that would be next year most likely. Thanks for watching!
@americannostalgiagarage thanks brother for responding and the information I'm in the middle of building my 55 del ray looking towards turbo ls with short turbo exhaust up front just needed some information on long cruises to event to event would it effect anything
@@9thgatedim273 very cool project I hope you get it on the road soon. Having the turbo mounted up front is very cool and having the rad in the back, if planned out should work perfectly. Off the top of my head I would make 2 suggestions. One is put a large psi rad cap on the rad if you use your original and don’t Weld up the old one. I welded on a ton of fittings on mine but didn’t weld up the cap. The heavier psi cap will prevent the rad from shooting coolant all over the ground and near the tires in the event of an overheat. The other suggestion is put a good screen or filter on your turbo. The long drives in different climates lend themselves to the potential of sucking something into a $2700 turbo lol. Good luck.
What's up with the 1/2 of a funny car cage?
Good question, I didn’t build the cage I bought the car with the cage already installed. I was thinking about welding in the remaining part but not sure I want to do it since this car is going to spend some time on the street and I don’t want to bounce my noggin off of it when I hit a speed bump. I don’t have a brain but I’m not immune to lumps on the head hahahahah. Thanks for watching
@americannostalgiagarage if you're not going to be running on a track where it may be required, I don't think I would.
Why is your brain bucket above the top of the roll cage?
I don’t know much about cage rules/requirements but I didn’t build this cage. I did install the seat though so I’m at least responsible for half the problem lol. Also my brain bucket is practically empty so I’m not risking much hahahaha. Thanks for watching.
What if it doesn’t want to be a led panel it’s 2024 let it decide on what it wants to be lmao
Hahahahahaha. I’m glad you caught that one. Thanks for watching.
Why do you say radiator, like a Canadian?? lol
Hmmm not sure lol. I like to think I’m as red blooded American as they come. Hahahaha. Thanks for watching.
@@americannostalgiagarage It's Raid iator, not RAD iator. ;)
