Resurrecting A 1966 Chevy Nova Into An Aggressive Street Machine - Detroit Muscle S11, E2&3

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Tommy and Peyton make a plan of attack to resurrect a 1966 Chevy Nova, a first for the Detroit Muscle shop. After their upscale treatment, this Nova codenamed Project Starstruck, will be a low, mean, aggressive street machine with killer looks.
With the plan laid out, Tommy and Peyton install light frame rails on the 1966 Chevy Nova. However, riding these rails proves to be tougher than expected when Project Starstruck shows her true colors.

    I was pretty happy to see you guys put a set of jack stands up under the back half of the car. Just in case it starts to want to rock back and forth, because of the overhang of the trunk end of the car. It was looking a little bit intimidating. Keep up the good work guys

    You taking me back till I was 14 years old and that is the first hot rod that I worked on is '66 Nova SS 400 small block with a 350 camshaft. We took 17 in wide traction tires and no back and little skinny pro stock tires in the front. Mickey t's and I think we stuck a three-speed in there for racer

    Now I know these guys are real mechanics, they have the same energy as the guys at the shop down the road who’ve been listening to the same old “The brakes just started squealing this morning!” and “You should warranty my engine for the crap oil you put in my engine 4 years ago!” stories for 20 years.

    Detroit Muscle or Carcass needs to do a Mid-late Muscle car, not a camaro or Vette though.... Something like a 75-79 Nova, a 73-77 Malibu, a 73-76 Cougar/T-bird, a 73-76 Torino or a Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volare. I'm seeing ALOT of these "Smog Era" Muscle Cars show up to Cruise-ins, Cars and Coffee's and cars shows. There's more than several on the HRPT the last 3-4 years too. They are the HOT build now because they are still cheap, the parts are plentiful, the Aftermarket is catching up to them fast and they have aged out of the smog regs so you can pretty much build them however you want. Just do a simple restoration or build a mild restomod that you can daily drive but still take to a cars and coffee or local car show, nothing CRAZY, just a stock engine mild hopped up or move up to an LS, simple interior, simple wheels and simple paint job. Show people these cars are cool cars for not a whole lot of money.

    Just what the world needs another RED car, so sick of red cars. Have hated red cars since 67 when I was six. One day I hope to save a car from being red by stripping all of it's red paint and giving it a nice green or blue hue.
