Thanks for sharing!

That's what I'm going to make my '68 Camaro look like... only it will be Butternut Yellow with a Black stripe... getting closer all the time.

Boy I hope I am not seeing what I think I see? Looks like the old '66 Nova rearend with bolts holding the lower plates to clamp the leaf springs without a U-Bolt over the axle!

I remember a guy here that will never walk without pain because he hit 3rd gear in his 2 month old 350hp '66 Nova and the rear end twisted completely out of the wields at almost 100mph. Totaled him and the car. Chev even went back and redid all the cars they sold with a recall and retro fitted them with a Ubolt over the axle. Very dangerious without them.
