A chapter closes... New one not yet started... A conversation is needed
This was a video I procrastinated on because I wasn't looking forward to making it. Lots to say... sorry for so much talking.. I hate talking videos. But an explanation was needed. I hope you stick around because we aint done! We are just in between chapters!

Nova finally gets new wheels!! Didn't think this would happen!!
Переглядів 7275 місяців тому
I finally did it... I just went for it and bought me some new wheels! These are Weld Ventura. They are 17"X8 all around with 4.5" back spacing. Same tires as before: Fronts are 225/45/17 and rears are 245/40/17. Hotchkis 3" lowering springs in rear and QA1 coilovers up front. Zero Rubbing and now I can even tub the rear and get bigger wheels that match when the time comes :) It's All Gonna Burn...

New Years Eve Off-Roading in the Toyotas!
Переглядів 2818 місяців тому
When up to the woods New Years Eve with the boys and some friends. It was Kalebs first time driving off-road, and the first time driving his white 4runner since he bought it. It was Aydan's first time taking his out since he got his lift finished just a few days ago on his 4runner. Still on street tires it did pretty dang good! My Tacoma did great. No issues. This was a test run for the vehicle...
Nova Updates and Toyota Tacoma updates.. plans for both!

Nice build, just came across your video. What headers did you use for this build. How much hammer adjustments did you have to make for the headers and where. Thanks in advance
Wish you luck. You have helped me with my build. I feel your pain cause im there at times. Sometimes i say to myself why dint i just buy one running. Mine was a rust bucket from ohio. But i have installed minitubs, quarters, floor, truck pan, omg its a ton of work. Now I cant decide to go ls or not. Im ready for a motor now. Then paint and interior. Im going to stick around brother. Cant wait to see whats next. Happy for you!
Sounds like you have all the crappy work done! Fun stuff next! But yeah it all gets overwhelming and then when you consider how much more money is required. If I was as deep as you I don’t think I could let it go. I appreciate you sticking around for sure and the encouragement!
I had no idea how much work these were to install when I ordered them. thanks for the tutorial!
I’m glad it helped! They are cool though when installed :)
NNNOOOOOOOOOO😭😭😭😭😭😭
Had to happen :/
I had a nova I built over a 5 year span. Got to the point where the custom paint was so nice I was afraid to drive it and couldn’t enjoy it. Sold it over a year ago and have no regrets. Was lucky to sell it when the market was strong. There are always more cars out there
I can totally see that. Sucks when you get to the point of not using it from fear of what could happen that may never actually happen. I agree.. there will always be more cars out there!
What happened to the red short box Chevrolet p/u
Been gone for years…
@@BillyFargon the 2003 I believe it was....I'm the guy who bought the 2000 GMC scsb... thought you were going to work it over ..lower it ..etc
Oh! I totally spaced that. Thought you were asking about the red Squarebody since I never posted a video of the 03. I was adding up the cost to lower then do wheels and after all the work I would never get my money back out of it and knowing my track record I would only keep it for a little while then get bored so I decided to sell as is and break even :/
@@BillyFargon the right project will fall in your lap .. Always do... still loving the GMC...I'll keep my eyes open down Salem way ... things Pop up....
Looking for an Impala! 63-64 :)
Damn someone got a killer Nova you built. Really enjoyed watching you work on it over the last several years, thank you so much for the videos and time you spent dedicated to it for us Nova enthusiasts. I appreciate your time. And ill stay subscribed just because i think youre a cool dude even without the Nova now. Best of luck with everything else!
Dang… I super appreciate that! Comments like these motivate me to keep making vids :) thank you!
do you remember what each pin was for on the spoiler?
I don’t I’m sorry… but I remember just testing pins till stuff just started working..
Glad you're doing whats best for you brother. I recently checked your channel to see if I missed a video! Most of us will certainly stick around for your content!!!
I really appreciate that! I’m for sure going to keep at it and have something new for the channel as soon as the right one pops up! Thanks for always taking the time to comment and interact. You’re usually the first one to respond 😂
@@BillyFargon I was driving when the video popped up!!!! Hahahahah
Nawwww Bro! Not the Nova didnt you have it since high school? Man im sad for you bro you helped me alot and gave me hella motivation to keep up with mines I do everything by myself to ive learned and done everything myself No friends or family into it like me either but i can never part with mines.....SMH DAMN!!! I dont even wanna think about parting with mines its like family to me lol keep positive tho billy keep that chin up ill still be here keepin up with what you do bro 👊
No, it was a throwback to my high school car but I had this 7 years. But I’m super glad to hear it helped motivate you! I still love novas but I have more of a desire to cruise in a classic with more simplicity than build a fast car for driving hard and no where to actually drive it hard. I will keep making videos for sure though cause it’s nice to go back and see how things were :)
I have to say I was pretty surprised to see you let it go. You gotta do you. I’m a Nova guy and love my car. All the work I’ve done, this car will be passed to my two sons. Send me a note where you are posting any parts you are looking to sell. I look forward to your next adventure. Keep keeping on ✌🏼👊🏼
I thought I would pass mine on too but in the 7 years I have had it my boys never really took an interest so it wasn’t too hard plus all the stress it caused me. The next project will be less of a project!
It can be a huge relief cutting ties with a project. I'm glad you came to the right choice for you. Knowing what it takes to repair floor pans and roof rust, I totally respect your decision. You did some great stuff to your Nova and contributed greatly to the Nova building community - thank you! Dont lost touch with us.
Thank you, I appreciate it! Definitely looking for the next project but it will definitely be more mild and I want to start with something a little more done out of the gate! I enjoy making videos so I need an excuse 😂
I'm of course sad you no longer have the Nova, but I understand your reasoning. No one should be blasting you for doing what you want with your life and money. I hope you are ok health wise! I'll still stick around, you are one of the reasons I started doing UA-cam myself.
I appreciate that! I am doing better for sure. Comments and people like you are the reason I want to keep on making videos! And I still am enjoying your videos!
I enjoyed watching you work through the various steps. I'm currently working on a similar project and will be installing the Holley system in my 70 Nova with an LS2 and 4L60E. Thank you for sharing your experiences and taking the time to video the work that you've done.
Thank you Mac, I super appreciate this comment! Your car is gonna turn out awesome!
The Nova? But the TKX didn't get reviewed.
It was great! No complaints whatsoever. Would def buy another!!
@BillyFargon TY. Can't wait to see what's next. Don't blame you for wanting another vehicle. My 1970 Nova 396 mist green was T boned June 1st going to a show when a kid ran a stop sign. Been battling insurance and looks like no way to buy another or fix it realistically. So depressed I bought a green Scat Pack with 30 miles on it. New being the new car guy. Lol
I gotta ‘73 c10 swb fleet with a supercharged LS ill sell it to you for $30k
Looks like a rad truck but my next direction is not a truck :/
So sorry to hear about your car!! I was always afraid of that! Something to say about having a new car though.. the confidence to basically drive anywhere! Congrats!!
Nooooo not the Nova!!!😢😢😢😢
It was a necessary step towards other goals :/
You said it correctly 😎. Looks like you found it north of Seattle. I found mine in Arlington WA back in 2011 but not as good of condition as yours.
Yeah in Lynnwood. I regret getting rid of this car. Currently looking for another! Maybe one a little more along in the resto phase :)
Will it read MPG on the 3rd gen?
It should on any vehicle you just have to go through the program process
One of my all-time favorite classic cars. And I like the turquoise w/ white interior. I live up in Washington, have all my life. Almost 3 years ago, I acquired a red/red '64 SS w/ 327 and Powerglide. And I swapped our it's original 250-horse motor for a remanufactured 327 w/ 330-horse and the 3.08 w/ a 3.36 plus limited slip posi. I'm debating whether or not I'm gonna pursue getting a Muncie 4-speed for it. But so far, I've been quoted $10 Grand bare minimum parts & labor, so I probably won't do it. The Powerglide is too good for me to want to go to a different automatic.
You should look into a TKX 5-speed. That’s what I would consider to replace the 4 speed. Would look factory too. Sounds like you have a cool car!
Theres an awesome yellow/blue digital Prado Inclinometer that would look awesome in the 3rd gens. I'm working on getting that one in now. I got the Hilux FMU overhead AND another Landcruise OH panel that has aux fuel tank gauge and mechanical altimeter. Looks awesome.
I had the fmu in this 4runner as well. I got my brother the Land Cruiser one for his 60. Japan has all the cool accessories!
is one axle shorter then the other for you? i just got mine today and wasnt sure
It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure one should be longer than the other..
@@BillyFargon Did you go with the true GM perches or heavy reinforced ones?
The ones they put on were pretty thick but that is standard for what they use.
@@BillyFargon Ya I need the ones that have the 4 holes in them. not sure which ones I had put on 🤣
@@BillyFargon Nice! Mono or multi leaf?
That is one beautiful Nova. My favorite car Chevrolet ever built.
Thank you!!!
I noticed on an earlier video you had the McLeod throw out bearing, it appears you switched. Can I ask why? About to install a similar set up.
It wasn’t actually the correct one for the kit. It was during covid supply issues and they sent a substitute and realized it was wrong then they got more of the correct one and sent it instead.
Ahh man, I wish you would have shown how to do it. Okay I will continue my search.
Which part are you looking for
The Vibrasonic is like a echo . I had one in my 64
Im looking for a ‘64 convertible , my ‘64 was my mom’s car and I took it over back in 1973. Someone hit me in the back and bent my frame. Bought a ‘55 chevy wagon back in 1976 and kept it until 1986 & sold it , which I regret.
63 or 64 convertible is my dream car!
Awesome video Billy! I have a 63 impala; I just did an upgrade from drum to disk brake conversation. I'm installing new dual brake master cylinder, did your original brake cylinder had a single brake line? before converting to duel? if so, how did you add another secondary line? Thank you in advance!
Thanks! My couple videos in the brake upgrade shows the adding of two new brake lines for the front :)
I have same dyno pro kit on my 1987 Chevy caprice coupe your video was sooooo helpful
CPP spindles will narrow your track by 3/4” or you could narrow the control arm. If you buy narrowed arms they will be about the price of your new wheels or you could cut and weld your stock ones. Pics online, not terribly difficult just make sure your welding game is on point or take it to someone to finish weld it all. Good luck.
That’s great you recruited your son. Just jump in there and get it done.
He’s a better welder than me!
Great Job! What type of rock slider are those? They looks really good!
Thanks :) they are savage Offroad but I don’t know if they are doing these sliders anymore….
'Picked up a beater" shows 60yr old running impala with minimal rust lol 😂
You better keep that nova will be hard to buy one back like your without spending a shit on
Well it’s got just under two weeks left on the sale ad. When it’s over it’s coming off the market and I got parts ready to start doing more work. Just burnt out but the break has been nice so I’m starting to feel more up to working on it again
Hello, i have a 71 nova and im swapping a t56 into the car and what to know how you wired the sensors for the clutch pedal ??
I didn’t wire the clutch pedal safety.
@BillyFargon ok I was wondering if that was a possibility.
You’re preference but its not required. At least not on the TKX
nice job on the spoiler...I have a 69 nova ....my spoiler arrives in about a week. I'm going to try and install it without taking the bumper off
I just bought an entire tkx install kit from American powertrain for my Squarebody. Hopefully it goes well
You’ll be fine :) mine was purchased during supply chain issue time and then what happened to it was kind of a fluke. It should go great!
Just bought these for my 402 going to custom make them to fit to it
Beautiful car for speed tachometer
Thanks for the vid. Curious if the winch fit or did you have to cut any supports? I have the same combo and I’m measuring, looks to be a tight fit! How much room did you have?
Winch fit perfect. They probably wouldnt fit a 12000 lb winch but it had no issues with a 9500
@@BillyFargon Thanks, I am going to replace the ‘Smittybuilt’ name bar with the regular round one before I mount it. Saves about an inch in depth by doing so. Also going for the remote mount under the hood. 🤞 Have the parts ordered. Thx for the reply!
I like you have always wanted a 64 SS. The prices put me out of the market. I wound up buying a 40 Special Deluxe and I love it.
Looks like you have the calipers on the wrong side, the bleeders are supposed to up or you’ll never get them bled correctly.
They have bleeders top and bottom
If you’re gonna wear them Jesus shoes in all of your videos you should at least paint your toenails Nova Green!😎
I’m not hip enough to pull that off!
I recently inherited a 1970 Nova SS. I stumbled across your channel while searching aftermarket shifters. You are doing Kick Azz upgrades !! Your Nova looks very cool. Sad to remove that awesome column shifter lol I sub;d and will look around your channel..
Awesome, I appreciate it! Excited for you and your new inheritance :)
Don’t sell it you’ll regret it!
You’re probably right :/
@@BillyFargon I sold mine a little over a year ago and I miss it sometimes
Did you get anything else since then?
@@BillyFargon a newer civic type R
That sounds pretty fun!
Holes in the back match?
?? You need to be more specific. This was done years ago.
7 inch?
Not sure what you’re asking..
I saw your for sale add and honestly I would keep the car if i were you. Great channel and I understand the frustrations doing everything yourself. Keep practicing and you'll get it dialed in. Love the car.
I appreciate the encouragement :) it’s not that I can’t do it, I’m just totally burnt out on it and there is no end in sight. I miss having my garage too :/
What bore size did you go with is it discs brakes up front and drums at the rear?
I’m pretty sure it’s 1”. I first had disc front and drum rear using a residual valve cause master is for disc/ disc. Now I have disc front and back so no longer need residual valve
Way better. Love the wheels
Weak .
