1966 Chevy Nova Build - Project Getaway



1966 Chevy Nova Build
Once the drivetrain was removed, Eddie and Bobby unbolted the subframe from the deuce and rolled it away from the cockpit. The old unit will be replaced with a Chassisworks Direct-Fit g-Machine subframe, which is a total bolt-in unit.		 1966 Chevy Nova Build
Getaway was then put back up on the lift to remove the 10-bolt rear, fuel tank, and brake lines.		 1966 Chevy Nova Build
Eddie proceeded by stripping the interior of its gauges and all creature comforts.

After completely stripping the Nova, it was mounted to the rotisserie in order to be blasted with some baking soda. Did that sound right?		 1966 Chevy Nova Build
Once mounted to the rotisserie, the Nova was transported to Raceway Park (where else?), where there's plenty of space for the unibody to be taken down to its birthday suit (bare metal).		 1966 Chevy Nova Build
Eddie called upon Beau Gurlavich of The Blast in Trenton, N.J., to perform the blasting duties.

Not only is baking soda environmentally safe, it's also less abrasive than most media, allowing the metal to retain its current form without any harmful distortion or pitting.		 1966 Chevy Nova Build
The Blast has a mobile rig that can come to you-how's that for convenience?		 1966 Chevy Nova Build
It was like Christmas morning at Carroll's Rod and Racecraft when the Chris Alston's Chassisworks components arrived. All the pieces were neatly packaged in a more than secure fashion.

Each box is properly labeled, indicating the part numbers as well as a brief description of the part. The majority of orders are shipped by Chassisworks within 24 hours to get you going on your project rather than sitting around and waiting.		 1966 Chevy Nova Build
Showcasing a couple of the components to be installed is the Chassisworks g-Machine power rack-and-pinion, along with the g-Machine A-arms. The g-Machine rack provides responsiveness and excellent feedback to the driver. The rack body, control servo, and hard lines are all constructed of steel to improve durability and performance.		 1966 Chevy Nova Build
The g-Machine A-arms feature a large-diameter tubular cross-brace design and TIG-welded mild steel contruction. They allow the use of both the VariShock coilover or ShockWave air suspension.
