67 Nova Drag Car Project

[cooperhw]

Like most of us here I have had a few cars over the years that are half *ss fast until you line up next to a FAST car. So about 4 years ago ()
I started building a purpose built drag car. Not to try to be any faster that in the 10's, but just so it was quick enough to go to the track and have fun. If it broke oh well, I could just load it on the trailer and haul it home and fix it whenever time/money allowed.
So I had a 66 Nova body stashed for years. The car had started life as a 4 door and the back doors had been welded up when I got it. It had no value & I didn't pay much for it. Perfect car to hack up into a drag car.
I hauled it from my property down to where I live and cut the entire floor out, installed a rectangle tube chassis, funny car cage, center steer, single seat back where the rear seat used to be.
Fast forward 4 years the car runs and drives, just never been finished to take to the track. It keeps getting bumped back in line by my 67 Chevelle, 63 1/2 ton GMC, or my current 68 C30 dually project.
Anyhow I had posted a thread on my weekend cruiser Chevelle so I though why not show what's in the other bay of my garage?
