Aloha ,
My Friend here owns a .... Car / Bike Shop and Chrome Shop he decided to use up some parts he have here in the
parts room and told me ... " Hey I found a car a friend says I can have at his place. He decided to build a
......... Pro Street Chevy ll Nova , we found in the country side.
His Friend said he abandoned it in the forest area near the ocean on his property and all the paper work was signed
and in a zip lock bag in the glove box so if he wanted it go get it.
We went to the North Shore about ... 3 Months ago to get it and this is how it was there. Surprisingly with all the Salt
Air we have here the Body was in very good shape yet. So on the way back we were talking about it and he asked me if
I could help him with it. I told him if you want me to do this car it will go crazy if I touch it.
He says why not you can do it and we spend some time on it. Well he got busy so I went and started it for him.
In the shop it looked like this when I got done with it. He comes in and tells me ...... Well it is only the bare car sitting there.
I said you told me to get it going so this is it and he laughs and say please don't stop.
Made a Body Rack for it.
Then I got to this part with the Body.
Then I got it sand blasted to bare metal and prepped down more work again.
Now a ...... Complete Brand New Frame and Roll Cage and did The Aluminum Sheet Work was done for it.
The Body was then placed on the Full Frame for fitting and The Widen Wheel Wells fit good.
Next ... The Narrowed 4 Link Suspension was made.
Then the Front with Coil Over Shocks fitted.
>> Then Built one of these Firewalls.
He had a friend that changed motors in his Drag Boat so he bought this from him for ....$600.00 Dollars USD.
So I had to strip it down and ..... >>> De Tune It From .... 1,100 Horse Power.
To much power for a Street Driven Car around here.
Then This ....Rebuilt Blown Chevy Gas Burning ... 500 c.i. 454 will be placed into it.
Painted Car and Finish will be coming in the near future soon.
Aloha and thanks for looking,
Louis
