Do you think it will certify 7.50 or 8.50?
Hi,
I just bought this Nova and I am trying to guess whether it will certify to 7.50 or 8.50... The welds look really good and it is very solid. I am going to have the cert guy come out and do it before I sink some more money in it.
What do you think???
Thanks for your help!!!!

Yeah I am thinkin a 3rd or 4th gen camaro. I have one of each of them at home and I am going to measure those.
I might put a Trans Am body on it. Im not sure yet. I realy just bought the chassis and it happened to have a nova body on it.

That will not be able to certify down to 7.50. A few things that I can see quickly are that it doesn't have the side kidney bar, diagonals in the floor, rear bracing from the rear crossbar to the crossmember for the lower part of the funny car cage, and there are not enough bars in the funny car cage.

I have a 56' Chevy thats mild steel and mig welded. I wonder if I can just add some bars to certify it for a 7.50? Do you know if there is a web sight that shows exactly where the bars are located for a 7.50 certification? Or how would I find this out? Thanks
