This Nova always "spoke" to me but I never really knew Charles but I knew the car as I'd see it at various events. I finally reached out to Charles who invited me over to his place and we spent the day recording. If I was building a Nova this is what I would build. Speedtech did an amazing job on this build. I hope you enjoy this video as Charles takes you through the build process of his car.

Was talking about your nova with speedtech today. They told me the mod that was done with the wheel wells.

@315squared4 2 года назад

Well it’s not my nova but Charles nova. Glad you got to talk to speedtech in Texas I’m assuming

@crackedbrainOG 2 года назад

Nice Nova! I would do the front splitter in black, it looks raw unfinished in grey. But that's my two cents.

@315squared4 2 года назад

Too each his own I guess. It’s easy to change if he wanted too. I do love this Nova though regardless

Hey... Love all the thought you put into that Nova... Beautiful... Question... Did Speedtech custom make that chin spoiler..?? I'm interested in a pair like those... Can you give me some information please...?

@lg8471 2 года назад

I just heard you say you made the chin spoiler... Maybe you can explain how you made it.... ? Any helpful hints, lol.... I'm not a metal bender, but I can probably do it.... Would you mind.... I love it..... Thx man....

Great Nova Are the 74 doors perfect fit or did have to make mods?

@315squared4 3 года назад

I’m not sure. I’d have to reach out to the owner to find out

@kodram 3 года назад

From my research i gathered that the doors are the same, except for windows, interior panels and that the lock pin sits differently. You might be able to move the locking pin from earlier model to the 74 Doors to fit interior panel from 68-72.

@315squared4 3 года назад

I just reached out to the owner Charles to shed some light on the subject

@SXSGarage 2 года назад

A full 74 door with interior panel will fit right up. Mine are 74 doors. However, the door skins were a little rough. Jeremy couldn't find 74 door skins. So he used 72 door skins. The difference between them was the lip for the weather stripping because of the 72 vent window.

@lg8471 2 года назад

@SXS Garage ... I heard guys say they put the Glass from 73-74 doors in their 68-72.... You'd have to play with the channels that carry the glass etc I nside..snide... just use your original panels.... So far this is what I've found out... I'm thinking about seriously doing this.... so is the vent (where it was) going to be an issue...? It doesn't go straight across...??

@stryf3901 3 года назад

The only thing I would change would be the wheels, that car is made for some nice fat tires: Mickey Thompsons in the rear coupled with some weld rims all around, other than that what a nice build😃👍

@315squared4 2 года назад

I know Speedtech designed a lot of this car. I can reach out to the owner but I’m not sure if he has a sketch of it or not? I’ll see what info I can get from Charles

@charleshuffhines36 2 года назад

Jeremy at Speedtech made the gauge panel. I made the splitter out of 4 aluminum pieces and tig welded it together. The left and right main pieces, and the two end pieces.

Gives no wheel spec

@315squared4 Год назад

I can reach out to the owner and get that

@315squared4 Год назад

So Charles is running 18x11 jongbloeds but he doesn’t suggest running 11” as 10.5” fit better. However, he’s running custom axles so his offsets are different and specifically for his car so he suggest measuring your own to see what fits for your application. Hope that helps

I had to take a screen shot and zoom in on it as I never even noticed prior to your comment. Defiantly not a swastika but I also don’t know what’s embroidered on the hat either.

? Um no, that says Six Six. It is a Duramax diesel hat.
