Redspeed,
If that's what you want. You might get torn apart by some of the guys who like to keep them original.

But if you want to rod it, there are many questions. like which engine, tranny, ride height, etc. If you are going to be getting rid of the stock drivetrain, those Nova's can come in handy. You could use the rearend,( and possibly the suspension), the whole front clip, thereby giving you powersteering, brakes, and IFS. Plus it will lower your ride height. What engines do your Novas have, heck you could get one of them rebuilt and keep it on your front clip. Gas tank, original inside the cab, or remount a new one under the bed. Do you plan to shave it?(get rid of door handles, mirrors, etc.) Chop the top? there are so many questions, they can't all be answered at once. How long have you had this project? If you have any other questions, keep posting, they will get answered. (sooner or later!

)
