My 1965 Nova II- 8.85@153.5 - Turbo kit FS

Congrats.

:bigtup:

On a car related note. Cage is in and fits amazing. RJ Profab did the job. We went to the track today and waited literally 6hrs for rain delays before we went home. Oh well. 9s will have to wait for another day.

WHERES THE PICSSSSS
Did you make sure your helmet was up to date man ? Don’t know if you know you need a helmet.

Damn it you borrowed my fire proof socks for nothing :frowning:

go get that 9 man!

Rain, rain go away!

Man I was so bummed that I sat there allllllllll day and never made a pass. @LukeL and I are going to work on a few things right now if anyone wants to stop out.

Anyone who wants to go I am going to try to go wed or fri if the weather is ok(looks bad for both right now).

Pics? Can I at least paint it first?

Fit is so damn good

Looks very nice. :tup: to whomever did it.

Dan

RJ Profab did the work. He is out near Rochester. People in need of a cage should see him for sure.

OK right. I think I recall you saying that.

Is this the dude that used to be at Procar in Rochester long ago? (Not that it matters, just being curious)

Dan

He was one of the guys involved with pro car

Awesome!

Anyone interested in the track Wed?

:wave:

Man, I really want to see this run again…

I’d bet it goes a little quicker. :wink:

So tonight we were messing with the chassis some. Rear suspension swapped to double adjustable shocks that were 2" lower. However now my exhaust is resting on the rear. Ill race it as is though. But it might hurt weight transfer. We shall see…

Is that going to make a disturbing metal “clunk” as the exhaust hits when you launch?

Likely. It certainly isn’t ideal. But I just don’t think I will mess with it today. I have a few options.

My 4link setup is adjustable at the springs so I could take the leaf mounts apart and raise them about 1"
I could go to a 30" tire which should raise the rear 1" :slight_smile: (I like this one)
Heat up and bend/hammer exhaust for more room
Replace leaf springs with stiffer units

Honestly all of these need to be done at some point but I will probably add them to the winter list. So a few weeks from now lol

I’m just thinking in terms of pants-shitting when you’re on track. If you launch hard and hear a concerning sound maybe you’ll pucker up and ruin you time :slight_smile:
