LIL' Chevy II (Granny to Gasser)Build

Our dependable little parts runner is gettin' a make over.

 

awesome

 

great work! thanks bill, been waitin for this thread to start....

 

Damn, you sure did make that look easy & good too!!!

 

Nice!!!

 

Hey, nice look! I see a pic of the kit on a pallet, whose kit did you use? I'm curious as Nickey Chevy is doing one and claims great handling and steering. Been considering S/A on my 65. Thanks for the thread, Dueces are wild!

 

Who makes the front stub? I remember those back in the 70's. I didn't think anybody was doing them now. Car looks great. I owned three white 62/63 Novas SS's back in my after high school days. Not all at the same time though. Dean

 

Thanks, It's a kit from BzRods.com. super nice kit. factory location inserts for bumper and radiator support. very complete kit, Just add motor and trans. well........ brake lines and alot of other misc. stuff.
the frame alone was reasonable $1190.

 

now thats a conversion in the true sense of bolt on. 12 bolts and its done. Minus the paint, this could be done in an afternoon.

 

thats too clean, get a finger print on it, will ya? haha

 

My favorite year Chevy II. I'm gonna watch this thread.

 

looks fantastic! well done. who's kit did you use?

 

Wow, that is really nice, great job its just perfect.

Nice job

 

Real nice!

 

Wow, that looks great. And I thought mine might a little too nice to cut up! I'm having a hard time thinking about a gasser, but maybe the lowered, 302 or 327, or 377??......

 

Very nice. Sell it to me.

 

Just awesome!!! I love these

 

Now thats nice!!!! Think my 60 Chevy needs this treatment.

 

very cool, what is the gear box looks like vega. I am looking forward to following the build.

 

Did you make it to our Brother-Poor Boys "Midnight Mass"?

 

Yep, Poor Boy Jay does a great job on putting on a show out here. We made it to the show but the car did'nt. not fired up yet. should have pushed it down the street to the show. Midnight Mass was only a block from my shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a teaser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i get giddy when i realize a car is "local". cant wait to bump into it one of these days

 

Awesome work on the chevy II,,,,,

 

My wife misses her '56. thats the motivation behind this build.....

WOW...Your 56 is awesome....I needed your pics to get my adrenaline flowin..........what size tires and rims on the rear......pete

 

Real nice

 

Nice Nova. Lots less welding and grinding than a trifive Chevy!

 

Rear rims were 8 1/2 with 4 1/2 backspacing


And yes, alot more bolt ons for the nova

 

Very nice!!! I'm a big early Nova fan (had a '63 SS with a 377/Th350 and a 9" on Alston ladder bars and coil overs back in the 90s).
