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.

R.I.P JOE
Really enjoy watching Tommy.
I own a 1978 Chevy Nova Sedan ,with a 250 inline 6 engine ,this video will definitely help me some how with my Restoration !!!!
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
If a chevy two don't make a good hotrod canvas I don't know what does. And old school great like tommy to do the work can't beat that. Keepemcoming
Love the 60 series cruiser in the opening ❤
Definitely love a Nova!! Perfect car for this type of build. Looking forward to this one. You guys are the best!!
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
Great episode.
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.
If only it was as easy as the animation.
66, 67 Chevy II is one of the only Chevy body styles I like. Scott Sullivan anyone?
Audio is weird on this one. It sounds like the voice audio was taken out, base added, and then jammed back into 'close enough'.
Wait a minute ! New guy put assembly lube in the wheel bearing ? Am I that old and I’m missing some new bearing manufacturing process.

I saw that, too...what's the deal there?!?
money saver front end off bolt right in older s10
you cut out the part where you`r getting all the anti seize off your body 😂
Great instructions if someone can't learn from yall they shouldn't work on cars at all
Your boss doesn't get it about building a special rotisserie...imagine working down-hand instead of over your head.
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.

I had a 74 Chevelle, and they se would be a cool boby style, but a modern twist on a t-bird or a 5.7 hemi in a volare would be great
Hi
Yes finally somebody that likes to use, narrow wire, using .023, and I use Italian manufactured wire because there's no alloys, and no Splatter, like the USA mandated wire splatters...
Why do the voices sound dubbed? The audio is off??
18.37 A prefab kit a kind of a DUI do it yourself kind of deal. It's not a DUI it's DIY. DUI is when you get pulled over after too many cold ones.

I have to disagree with the Sprint. It may not have had true "muscle car' status. But become the "scrappy mutt" of street racing.
I am so sick of LS engines. With one exception. A 1970 LS6 454. That’s an LS I really love
A little less scripted shop talk would do wonders for these videos. That and a few less paid comments.
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.
Chevrolet's version was much cooler.
Stopped watching just as soon as you said LS so sick of everyone LS swaping

I'm with you on the ls swaps. I've owned two that were professionally built and what I spent building them I could have had one bad ass old school big block bilt to the hilt and had more torque and horsepower.
Red? The most over used color in the car industry. Resale red hillbilly red, why not not a original color😒
It’s all talk ,and no action .Actions speak louder than words ,it was just a waste of time watching this video.
