Extra Effort
When we say all exterior trim and emblems were shaved, we do mean all. Classic's quest for unencumbered body lines meant that even the rear trim panel had to go; the look is exquisitely clean.
Stop & Go
Classic's creation rolls on American Racing Salt Flat wheels, 17x8 front and rear; they're wrapped in sticky Toyo Proxes T1R rubber, measuring 255/45ZR17 at both ends. Stopping ability has also been substantially upgraded with Wilwood 12-inch discs and four-piston Dynalite calipers on all four corners-the binders are activated by a Wilwood master cylinder and prop valve. American Muscle Cars created a set of brake lines to make it all work.
The Digs
Wanda's Upholstery of San Bernardino, California, was tabbed to install the Nova's new interior, which consisted of new components from Classic's OER line: black vinyl seat covers, headliner, and door panels, along with a repro black carpet kit, and that's just for starters. The kick and sail panels, the visors, the door handles, and all the other chrome trim was refreshed as well. An OER reproduction speedometer takes center stage in the dash, nicely enhanced by a Shiftworks gauge conversion kit in place of the stock idiot lights. The steering wheel is a repro Comfort Grip piece, as found in '67-70 Novas-it sits atop an ididit tilt steering column. Tunage is provided by a Custom Auto Sound stereo running through a quartet of Kenwood speakers, and the works is tied together with a Factory Fit wiring harness.
