    Thanks everybody!

    This thing is a blast to drive, and even though its street legal, it still has plenty of its race car roots! It’s loud and obnoxious, and is extremely quick. I'd like to take it to Bandimere next summer and run it down the track a few times. I still have the slicks! :D

    Love it! I have always had a soft spot for early Chevy IIs (has a '63 Nova SS). I ran an Edelbrock Scorpion on it, with heavily worked 462s on a 377...it worked very well, I'm sure you'll love it.
     
  8. Looks great. Nice job!!!

    Great looking car. Gotta love Chevy II's.
    If it had a four speed it would be perfect. ;)

    what front rotors and calipers are you running? and on what spindles?
     
  22. Dave,
    Dropped in on you two summers ago on my trip out west and you met me in your Chevy II. Man it looked killer coming up the street! Nice work, can't wait to hear how it goes down the strip. Get well buddy.

    The previous owner updated it to a Speedway unit. GM rotors & calipers.

    Very cool Chevy II. My first car was a '64 sedan and they are fun to drive!
