wheel spacing






We had a bit of an issue with wheel and tire clearance on the rear. Part of this might be miscommunication with Mike and I or just the fact Mike loves to buy the shiny stuff !! Ha, Ha ! That aside we needed more room for the tire clearance, and with the car now painted this was a problem. Enter the Eastwood tool Company, they have some cool stuff and we purchased a tool to stretch the fender wells slowly. It worked , it was a bit of a learning curve and we felt like it could have some more adjustments and that was because we were learning the tool. Any way it worked well and the problem is much better now, so lets try and "get er done ."






The next little detail was to get a drive shaft made up , we turned to Fleet Pride in Memphis ,they handle truck parts ,U-Joints and stuff like dat! The machinist Jeff was a very knowledgeable guy who helped us decide on which options would be best for the power the Nova was gonna make , and Bing-o the next day we had a nice shiny drive shaft! P.S hey Mike where'd ya get those Chinese eyes?
