Part 2 of our Project Swinger wrap up concludes the build with coverage of many of the components that were installed to make this car handle better, in order to prep it for the autocross.

Our Project Swinger Nova is a true-to-life testament of how some time, effort, and the availability of the aftermarket in top-notch, bolt-on goodies can transform your project car into a modern runner.

When it comes to muscle cars there are both good noises and bad noises. Follow along as we treat our 1971 Nova - Project Swinger - to a full regimen of Dynamat Xtreme using their pre-cut Custom Cut kits to keep vibrations and resonance out, while letting us better hear all the sounds we do want to hear.

In this installment of Project Swinger, we're looking at buttoning the beast up and focusing on the details. Follow along as we replace the glass and brightwork on our long-term Project Swinger '71 Nova, courtesy of Classic Industries.

Project Swinger had been pushed around the shop enough, and this year it decided to push back when the LSA and Tremec 5-Speed were installed. The exterior trim, glass and interior trim are upcoming projects and we'll keep you filled in.

Project Swinger gets a custom hot set of pipes using a kit from Flowmaster, Super 44 mufflers and a cool coating from Jet-Hot Coatings. It's almost criminal to hide parts that look this good under a car.

It's been a long time coming, but after all the performance parts mock ups, we finally stripped our Project Swinger Nova down bare and dropped it off at the paint booth at ZBest Paint & Body to get a shiny new coat of Sherwin-Williams paint.
