Jared Black's 1969 Nova Project Stage #2

We have skipped forward several months of work and parts from Stage #1. By now, I have smoothed and painted the firewall,
painted all the front end pieces and front frame rails, removed the old body mounts and replaced them with new poly-urethane ones. I also taped off all the glass, removed all body molding and emblems and gave it a coat of primer. (anything looks better than faded blue and rust) I purchased a set of corvette rallys from a friend for it to roll around on until the day came to put on drag slicks and front runners.

A special Thanks to Chris for helping me with this motor, I had never built one before, but wanted to, and he was patient and knowledgeable, helping me throughout the entire process. It is a Chevy small block 350 that was punched 30 to be a 355. Comp 280 Magnum cam, Headman headers, Weiand single plane intake, and a holly 650 on top.
