My 1967 Nova H/T my family enjoys

[Hamar]

I introduced myself over in the newbie forum a week or so ago. Figured I post a couple pics of my 67 Nova. This is where it is today but have immediate plans for a 8pt chromoly bar and adding some black to the Viper GTS blue for a two tone paint scheme. Currently running a 406 with a turbo 350 to a 373 10 bolt posi rear but there are plans to change the trans to a 200r4 and the rear to a 9 inch spinning 4:10 or 4:30's. Looking for solid mid to low 11's when done.









Yeah, I know the air cleaner is a bit tall, It's been changed already and the alternator has been replaced with a polished one to look better at the cruise nights. The battery will be moved to the rear this winter as well.

Looks good....I would stay away from two tone though....I like it just like that.

Hamar, that is one beautiful '67.
I understand the performance mods, but why change the looks ?
Already perfection in my eyes.

Like the car - one of my favorites. You must not have kids if you're planning on a cage.

Thanks for the great comments on the rig. To be honest with you, There are a couple blemishes that need to be addressed on the upper body. Seeing that I have to do work there and there are two other solid blue Chevy II's that cruise around locally, I figured I'd shoot the top half of the car from the body reveal up in black. The cowl scoop part of the hood will remain blue but it will be painted in the 60's style using lace and a darker blue then masked off and the hood will be squirted black.

As for kids, I have two. One is 16 and she is shotgun all the time. The other is a skinny little 9 yo who is spry enough to crawl in back there without much difficulty. By the time she's too big, big sister will be doing her own thing and wont want to be hanging with dad at the track or the cruise night.

Sounds very realistic. I can appreciate the need for a distinguishable colour.

Very sano engine compartment. You've obviously invested the time.

Thanks guys!
Doug, I live on the South Shore of Massachusetts. About 30 miles south of Boston. Right now there is about 9-10 inches of snow on the ground its 24 degrees out and they are saying we are looking at another 4-8 inches of snow tomorrow. Nothing to do really but sit in the garage and detail stuff. I'm pulling the complete interior and carpet out so I can get it over to Tube Chassis Designz for the chromo 8pt and some other small stuff............

Gorgeous blue paint on a wicked looking machine. Will you define the break between the black and blue with a contrasting narrow stripe?

Re: My 1967 Nova H/T my family enjoys

Thanks again guys. To answer a couple of the questions. Yes, I plan on a very narrow stripe to breakup the color seperation. I'm thinking a nice heavy mettalic or metal flake silver. I'm open to suggestions on a seperation color....anybody care to participate?
