Nice of you to post on the build section of the nova brown spyder!
I never did that to you!
Do you have a build thread? No I didn't ever remember seeing it. Why would that be?

For the freinds and fans of the nova let me say I did what many great racers do....I tried something different! I ran a powerglide at the last race but it just didn't get it done....so back to the 3 speed....and the winners circle
Shawn, see ya in the valley :stir

Been awhile!

Funny story, i have always run moroso drag springs up front and the recently lost thier umph!

Ive been procrastinating changeing them but just before this last race i threw in a set of springs that i dont even know what ratings they are, but where in it when i bought the chassis!

I think they are prob regular small block springs but anyway, they worked better and kept the car from bouncing so much at launch.
Moral of story- dont stop trying diff things with your cars, conventional wisdom is not always wise!

The time slips and video shot by my sister showed well, i will try to get them up
