"Plain Jane" 1970 Nova Build

[Arrowsmith]

Hello again Joe. The back wheel studs in my Nova are 1/2 x 2.0 - inches. Mark Williams screw in examples, part number 51255. I prefer 1/2-inch studs over the stock 7/16-inch on the rear. Just stronger.

I am about to take some long ones off my car and put stock length studs back on. What is the stock length for a rear stud that would have been used with a closed end lug nut?

[Arrowsmith]

I don’t use press in stud on the rear and I don’t use closed end lug nuts, so I have no idea. Sorry, I can’t help. I’m sure though that many of the very knowledgeable people on this board can help you out with OEM parts.

At this point I have to know what it ran at the track?

[Arrowsmith]

Never took it to the track. As some here know, my wife is seriously ill. Car is for sale and if it doesn’t sell I’ll probably place it in storage.

I am thrilled to report Wayne and I agreed to terms on the Nova. I've admired this car, the build, and Wayne's detailed approach since I first discovered the car. Ironically, Wayne and I share the same vision for the car moving forward (along with a love for Corvette's).

I'll keep the thread going with updates. Ya never know, may even have to put that 3rd pedal back to use

Congratulations !! I am surprised to see it's you, doesn't seem like it's "in your wheelhouse" as you call things...

When I read his other thread, I first thought of Charley, since he loves to build vehicles like this, but then Wayne did mention a Great Guy was the new owner...
As a sponsor of SCR, are you going to get it out there this year ?
New year, new owner, may as well start your own new thread, this one is Wayne's and rather personal with his wife's health mentioned.

I'll leave that up to Wayne. You're right Mitch, it is very personal. There is tremendous content Wayne has provided, and I would hate to see it get lost. Perhaps Steve can help with that.

I have had this closet addiction with Nova's. I miss my 67, which was similar in spirit to Wayne's build (although not near the same quality). This was a pump gas 422 SBC with either an M22 or a TKO Tremec behind it.
