Amazing how that engine bay went from empty to no more room, :eyebrows:

Wish I had the time, money and skill to do stuff like that, :o

Sweet!!! I love Nova's anyway. Too bad it wasn't a 4 door, it would be an even better sleeper.

oo bad it wasn't a 4 door,

I was thinking that too. The other thing that takes away from a true sleeper look is the wider rears. Everything has to be a compromise, though and for mid-low nines I'm sure they need the added rubber.

If I rolled up on a car with rim screws, I'd know something was up!

Sleeper concept taken to the extreme. I'm not sure it qualifies for the title. Impressive nonetheless.

Thats pretty slick! but like mentioned b4 bead locks and wide rears would give it away for me. Non the less its awsome!:thumb:

That is fricking sweet. There was a rusted out truck in Ogallalla when I lived there that ran tens on the street, that was awesome too.

The hub caps are too shiny but if it was getting dark outside, you'd never know looking at it. The exhaust would give it away though.

THE WIDE TIRES,AND THE RIM SCREWS ,WOULD GIVE IT AWAY, BUT IF IT WAS KINDA QUIET,YOU WOULD THINK,ITS YOUR AVERAGE 11-12 SECOND ,STREET CAR, NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD ROLL INTO AND RACE A 9.9 SUPER GAS CAR,OR BLOW THE DOORS, OFF A HYABUSA,OOPS! NO DOORS, TOTALY AWESOME SLEEPER AT 9,30s
