Hi David - welcome to the forum. It looks like a very well engineered set-up you have there, although I hope you weren't planning on wearing that 10-gallon hat while driving, headroom is severely limited in the Nova (even the Mk2), and there isn't much room in the front compartment to store it either
(I'm only joking, I'm sure there is a good reason for the hat - a scale reference, perhaps???)
Looking forward to seeing your progress, should be a good one.
Incidentally, is your Red 9 front beam the standard one, which has a built-in 2" drop in front ride height, or the "special" one made specifically for the Nova? I'm sure it is possible to restore the factory ride height with a standard beam, but I suspect not without compromising the suspension geometry...
