Мастер кузовного тюнинга Скотт Салливан превратил разбитый Chevrolet Nova 1970 года в шедевр Pro Street

Scott Sullivan Transforms a Blown 1970 Chevy Nova Into a Pro Street Masterpiece Scott Sullivan’s Pro Street know-how turns a simple back-half job into something much more serious. The hot rodding world can be a fairly tight-knit group, and it’s always fun to hear builders speak highly of other builders and even share ideas or concepts. In the case of Jason Wolfswinkel’s wicked Pro Street 1970 Nova, the car game together thanks to the duo of Doug Jerger, of Squeeg’s Kustoms, and Scott Sullivan, the man behind the iconic Cheez Whiz ’55 Chevy and many other road-proven hot rods. The plan was hatched when Jason scored a street-pounding 1970 Nova as a change from his gathering of vintage Fords, including his wife’s 2026 AMBR-winning deuce roadster that came out of the Squeeg’s camp. The Nova was a running/driving car with a blown 468ci big-block, nice silver metallic paint, and a clean interior. It was nice car, but it needed to be tubbed to fit Jason’s vision. “I’ve always wanted a Pro Street cruiser, and the Nova seemed like a great start,” Jason said. “I wanted it tubbed, but Doug’s team was too busy, so he suggested we reach out to Scott to back-half the car. I mean, who else would you want to back-half your Pro Street car?” Scott Sullivan Gets Out the Saw The call was made, and the Nova was shipped to Scott’s shop in Ohio. He wasted no time getting busy building his own rearend setup, getting the stance right, and shortening the Strange Fab 9 rearend to fit the massive 32x22.5 Hosier Pro Street radials. It didn’t take him long to wrap up the transformation, which immediately led to more discussions about Z-ing the front end to get it lowered a bit more. The plan was for Scott to build a complete chassis incorporating a front suspension kit from Kugel Komponents. Kugel’s parts are designed to look as good as they ride, and without any wheelwells, those trick control arms and components, all polished and chromed, add a nice look next to the mountainous Roots blown big-block. The Z process also meant moving the engine up, building a new firewall, and a few more details such as the clean, aluminum radiator support free of excessive panels. Scott also fabbed a new floor. In fact, in this case, it was two floors—one stacked on top of the other. “I know how much heat comes in through these floors,” Scott said, “and I just couldn’t let that happen. I built a lower floor, covered it in a bunch of Dynamat, then made another floor on top of that with more insulation and carpet. I also had the headers treated to a ZyCoat thermal treatment. In the end, the interior stays cool!” With the new chassis and more finished, Scott shipped the car back to Squeeg’s shop in Phoenix where they jumped in to finish the brakes, plumbing, and engine tune just in time to ship the car back to Ohio for the Goodguys Nationals in Columbus.
