TOP SECRET PROJECT (No longer secret)
'63 Chevy Nova Wagon.
The car was in an accident in Sept. 2000.
The accident ruined all of the front body, aside from the driver's side fender.
I have all the new pieces except for a new radiator.
I am in the process of putting a 250ci six cyl. engine into the wagon.
This six cyl. was in my '71 Nova but I swapped to a V8.
The 230ci engine that was in the wagon is trash and overheated constantly.
When I took off the 230's oil pan, to put it on the 250, it was caked with years of grease.
I have three rochester one barrels to put on a new Offenhauser "three singles" intake,
and a six cyl. HEI from a late 70's Nova.
Some time before August (I think)
Some time in August '03(I think)

I finished putting the Classic Performance disc conversion kit on the wagon, and the car stops like a dream. Absolutely amazing. Now I am putting new polyeurathane bushings in the front end so that I can get it aligned.

Okay, this project is taking forever. Well, maybe not bad for a married college student.
The front end has been rebuilt with all new polyurethane bushings. It's been aligned. I just bought a paint gun so I can start the body work. I plan to primer it and do the body work, then have a professional body shop do the paint. Pics coming....
