Yep this is awesome. I was waiting in the window for the ups truck like a puppy waits for its owner

 

My buddy Jay has those rims on his '69 Nova. They look so right.

Yeah I like the look. The offset of those combined with the width of the mustang suspension push them out a little further.

I'm leaning more towards box flairs in the vain of dasianti 510 wagon. Same boxy feeling to the car. Wish I knew how to photoshop. That way I could just show you. 

I cant find any boxy style. Can you point me in that direction

Awesome. I have been thinking about how to do a wide body. That seems to be a good way to go about it.

So I got the steel ordered and in for the front suspension install. Also tires on the wheels for the front after the suspension is in. I will have pics in a bit. Also ordering the dash or actually 2 dashes I will use to make the interior right hand drive.

Got to work on installing the front suspension. Cut the nova subframe and started making a hybrid by combining the nova and mustang subframe. I know I have a bit more structure to build into it but it's a start

More progress on the subframe. Scarf joint and fish plates. Test fit the new front wheels with the center caps I made for pawpaw when i was a kid

The 66 chevelle dash panel is symmetric and I love the look. Being symmetrical it lends itself really well to the right hand drive conversion. Once I got it to the car I realized that chevy must have known I would be born one day and need to do this swap , the work required to put it in will be minimal. I will have progression pics along with the dash right hand drive conversion soon

Then there was this. Got the nova dash out and the chevelle dash in followed by a healthy helping of right hand drive conversion.
