This is Kirk Husselman's 1968 Chevy II Nova currently under construction. He accquired it in May of 2000 and has done quite a few things to enhance her beauty. The first thing was to change the bumper (which was 1970 Nova fiberglass bumper) to the correct chrome 1968 bumper. He also installed new tires with Crager SS wheels. It's currently in the shop for a new paint job. The interior is in perfect condition expect for the driver side arm rest pad. The next thing kirk wants to do is modify under the hood. It currently has a Chevy 305 from a 1986 Monte Carlo.

Julio Sanabria has owned this 1968 Nova since he was 16. When he purchased it, it needed extensive work so he installed new quarter panels, doorskins, fiberglass fenders and a cowl induction hood. Since it was done about 12 years ago he would like to redo some of the body and change the color also. The engine is a 1968 350 with a roller cam, Edelbrock intake, 850 Holley carb, TH350 trans with shift kit, Unilite distributor, MSD ignition, headers with flowmasters, and the stock rear (soon to be 4.10 posi).
