Default Bill Thomas Nova Conversion

Who wouldn't want a Rat-powered, straight-axle '65 Chevy II? Street wheelies anyone?

From the March, 1966 Hot Rod.

Very cool! .
About 25 years ago I remember seeing pics in an old Hot-Rod mag of Thomas transplanting 327 Fuel Injection motors into new '62 Novas....clean, stock looking conversions.

I have that issue too. I'll dig it up after dinner if anyone's interested.

Bruce: I was taking a short break! Sheesh! Besides, all work and no play makes Bill a dull boy.

Bring it on if you have it handy to you Bill. . I haven't seen mine in years and would have a hard time finding it even if it was still around? . I remember the pics but is there text w/ it too? .
Thanks! .
