To get the nose-up drag car look that we wanted for our Week to Wicked Nova project, we used one of our Gasser Axle kits. These bolt on in place of the stock front clip and instantly transform the car, making it look like it rolled right out of the 60's!

Starting with a Speedway Motors Gasser Axle Suspension Kit and our 9-Inch Housing with 3.89 gears, the Speedway Motors Build Team and Car Craft Magazine build the Chevy II Nova Gasser a rock solid foundation.

Our stock 1967 Chevy II Nova rolled into MotorTrend Group's Santa Ana Tech Center this morning and we won't sleep until it's 1960's drag strip ready!

Jarry and Ryan Givens are father and son, and this pair of Novas proves the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

We've got a new project in our shop! Check out our 1967 Chevy II Nova that we will transform into a gasser in one week.

Day one and two were all about the big stuff. Day three was the opposite. Which isn’t to say we didn’t enjoy ourselves. Needless to say, we were glad to have Steve’s energy on the details day.

We have a full day ahead of us with the radiator core support, getting all the sheet metal back on, and wiring the engine. Check out day three of our Chevy II Nova Gasser build!

In one week, Jeff, Joe, and Zach, along with Car Craft Magazine, will take an old 1967 Chevy II Nova back in time to the days when Gassers ruled the strip. No dress up here—it will actually be able to race. Meet the build team making it happen!

Jim White's '62 Chevy II is a family car, but not in the way that you might expect.
