The ultimate beater muscle car THE "JENKO" NOVA

- Опубликовано: 16 дек 2023
- The full build of our 1972 chevy nova junk yard rescue Yenko tribute. We call this project the "Jenko" due to its cheap nature budget minded revival build and the ratty yenko stripe we painted on it. This ratty Nova muscle car project was built to prove that you dont need deep pockets to get together with your friends and family, slap a car together with used junk parts and hit the streets and enjoy it! This daily driver themed hot rod is the most enjoyable car in the fleet and we take it everywhere.

The fact your kids are involved is cool. The fact your wife helps is FRIGGIN AWESOME! I wish we were all as lucky.
Working on the cars and keeping my entire family involved is the best part. These cars are nothing without the memories/stories that go along with them.
I watch a ton of RUclips. Just found your channel tonight, don't change anything!
Thanks chris! Glad you found us and enjoy the content!
Need to explain to her that once she says not to put that in the video, that you’re required by law to put it in! 😂 rule’s are rules
Exactly! Haha it’s the law! My hand was forced lol
srr we ifogoesahdtufuppyjfiy
I’m digging this project, I find this way more interesting than a perfect show quality build!
Thank you! I love this car because it can do or go anywhere and you don’t have a sweat it. It’s an absolute blast to drive
“If you’re looking to get it done you can do it”
Classic ❤
I too find myself saying "I'd like to meet the engineer that decided to __________, and punch him right in the mouth." That's some funny shit we can all relate to😂.
Hahaha this very reason is why i hate working on new cars lol.
Great build and great family wagon! Glad to see you save it! Enjoy!
Thanks!
Your Little Ones are making memories mate, good job all round.
Awesome Job ! You're Right it's all about the memories we make with friends and family. Building No Go's. I sure miss my '63 SS hardtop V8 swapped 4spd.
The kids are priceless!
Thanks! They definitely keep it interesting and fun! Building the cars and memories with them is absolutely the best part.
I agree bro. Do it your way. And what you can afford. Love novas. My favorite car.
Thanks man! Glad you share my thought process on this build!
Absolutely nailed it with the 4/speed the ratiness is what makes it so cool 😎 you're making the world a better place with each an everyone of these iconic hotrods you put back on the road my friend. We salute you✊️ Mr, Ratty Jenko Nova hotrod builder 💯✌️👍
This dude is gonna blow up on RUclips ill be there for the ride too
Thanks man! Appreciate your support!
Gets distracted counting holes in the carpet let’s go of wrench, you’re still holding that right? Yeah. Lol love the videos
Thanks! Glad you like the videos. That’s the only problem with cheap labor with the kids haha easily distracted!
That's a lot of work there my friend! Good to see another Nova back on the street! Kudos to your family and friends for helping you out with the build!👍👍👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed that build I had a great time putting it together and an even better time ripping it around. Can’t wait to continue to improve on it and make it better
New favorite channel! I wish I had time to post content! Great job!!
Thanks man! I appreciate that. I have an absolute blast working on the cars and making the videos for you guys!
I like the road kill hood scoop super cool
Thanks! The hood scoop either gets love or hate and not much of anything in between. Glad you like it! I think it fits the car just right.
I thought I was the only one that used my little people for cheap labor lol great video man
Thanks! Glad you liked the video. Little people for cheap labor is the best. Making memories that will last us a lifetime!
And before you know it they are grown and you have taught them a life long skill that will serve them the rest of their life
Crazy siiiiiick car…….that’s what it’s all about…..Amazing job 🤩🤙
Thanks man! This car is definitely one of my favorites to rip around.
Nice ,great job bud only way to do it. Love the early 70's muscle cars.🎉
Thanks Robert! Glad you enjoyed it
I thoroughly enjoyed that ride. Love the car.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! This is one of my favorite cars of all time! It’s not fast, perfect, or great at handling but man is it so much fun to rip around whenever you feel like it.
I binged a few more episodes. Enjoy your editing and build style. 👍👍
Man your video just popped up on my feed and I subscribed I love what you’re doing with these old cars
Thanks Florian! Glad you appreciate how we build the cars and get them back on the street. Much more to come for sure! Thanks for following along
Who says you can't polish a turd. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing
You have built a cool hot rod you should be proud
Thanks Dan!
Wow, I just found your Chanel.
I am loving what you’re doing on a budget, the cars look great.
So great that you’re teaching people that you don’t need to spend a fortune on rebuilding a car to have a car to enjoy
Cheers
Love your builds. It’s for real people with a little money, lots of motivation and a little luck.
I couldn’t have said it better myself! Thanks for following and appreciating my content. More content to come!
Can’t wait for more. Thanks for the inspiration. Building a nova myself.
Looks like a ton of fun
It’s an absolute blast!
Keep up the good work and i will watch all your movies :)
Thanks Kenny! Glad you enjoy them
I love the Big Foot gas pedal , I had one in my Nova and a smaller one on the dimmer switch
The big foot gas pedal makes this car! Haha it’s one of my favorite pieces.
Stumbled across this video and glad I did. Thoroughly enjoyed your build as it's in line with what I'm doing. I'm binge watching your green nova build now. Thanks for the content.
Thanks man! Glad you found my channel and hope you enjoy the content!
Solid and cool car !
Congrats for your work...
Hello from France 🇫🇷
Thanks Xavier! Glad you liked the build!
Hey man well done! That is a cool ride and awesome to see you progress and have friends and family involved with the project. I like your philosophy of getting stuff on the road. Im building something similar in Australia. cheers
Thanks man! Glad you appreciate the build. Good luck with your project and thanks for following along on mine!
Great job on the Yenko stripe !
Thanks Ty!
Wow, nice work on a budget build.
Thanks Trevor! Glad you like it 👍
Well done, I have a 78 hatch back that I put a 4 speed behind a 454 and it's a blast. All the best.
I bet that thing is a blast! A big block with a manual in that little fourth gen is probably a wild ride for sure! Probably roasts tires for miles!
Besides doing a budget job. I think your details are very good. You´re sealing the stuff so it dosent rust any further. Good job man! Sidenote: Involving your family is an awesome detail :)
Thanks Kenny! Glad you appreciate all the details that go into putting these “budget” build back on the streets as a reliable machine. Also glad you appreciate my entire family involvement. Thanks for watching!
That little 327 is an awesome platform to build from.
If I close one eye and hold my mouth just right she looks beautiful
Hahaha helps if you tilt your head a little bit and catch it in the right light lol
Great stuff another car saved.😊
Thanks Christopher!
Ur son holding the wrench n pumping the brakes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅 super kool!
Only way to get ‘em into the hobby is to start them young!
I love this Car! it is my idea of the perfect nova
Couldn’t agree more!! Thanks dude
Lovely wife and adorable kids helping is unheard of these days. Buy the way that car is mint compared to cars in Minnesota
Thanks John! I have a blast working on these cars and building them with my whole family and friends involved is the best part for me.
Love your videos 📹, nicely done content n info,glad to be a newbie subscriber. I get tired of all the Mustang n carmos, Not alot of guys doing content on classic Novas .❤ look forward to u videos n content. I learn something every videos. Not everyone knows the basic.i have grandchildren that watch these videos n learn
Another great video. Love seeing the progress, results and the whole family involved. Can’t wait to see more updates and upgrades. Keep em coming
RustO satin black that thing. Would look so good.
I enjoy seeing a backyard build that needs to be built not bought !
Thanks Glenn! Glad you enjoyed it!
you earned my subscription..about two videos ago..Knocked it outta the park...You have no idea whats going to happen do you? That sweat equity will multiple 20X ..Thank you this build made my day..heading to the garage now....sincerely!
I see your buddy has a 64 Dodge 330 post sedan! So cool! My best friend had an identical one for about 15 years! Built 440, roller cam, tunnel ram, built 727 (pushbutton), 3500 stall, full cage, and 4.30s with a spool! It was wild!
I bet that was a sweet car! Mikes is a 383 car with the push button and 3:73 gears. Almost breaks into the 13’s but really needs more gear.
give the kid a raise. he worked his butt off!!!
Hahaha both my kids are awesome little helpers. No better cheap labor out there then them lol. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed it!
great video, you just earned a sub. I'm from New Zealand and this is my dream, move to America get married and have my future children work with me on classic cars.
Dont marry any american woman...nor even shack up with em.
By all means dont get one pregnant. Dreams are for free but reality is youll never be able to own an old car supporting a fam out here
Like the car, hate the scoop lol. I can appreciate the fab work you did to make it though.
Hey that’s cool i appreciate your opinion and respect. Full disclosure if the hood was not in as rough of shape as it is i would have never done it. However givin the condition of hood and the overall theme of the build i felt the hemi hood scoop inspired piece fit the project and gave me a chance to hone some skills making it. Hope you enjoy the content of my channel and thanks for watching!
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing
Anytime! I have a blast building the cars and making the videos so I’m glad you guys enjoy them
Good job to all of you!!!!
Thanks Dave!
Great job kiddo 👏
Thanks Kevin!
Kool as heck I have had about five of those types i love the 72 models the best ❤❤❤❤❤
I like all of the 3rd gen body style. However ‘72 has weld on door hinges that drive me crazy. So if I had a “favorite” it would probably be ‘69-‘70. I do love this car tho
Perfect video bro minimal talking lots a plain old getting it done beautiful car
Awsome job !! NOVA MY FAVORITE, well one of my favorite cars ,like the video keep them coming ,mery christmas
Thanks Richard! Definitely my favorite car too. Merry Christmas!
Very cool. It sounds amazing 🤘
Haha cheap circle track mufflers for the win! That exhaust system ran me like $75 total!
I love the whole build, but man those factory poverty caps looks good.
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video man. Love the car !!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
The memories you are making with your little man are priceless! Well done!
Thanks Alan! It’s the memories I make with my family building these cars that make it all worth it!
Gotta love a Nova! I had a 76 and a 78 but both straight 6 motors. Got over 300grand on the 78 and the rear end went. Still ran great. I paid 50$ for it at my dads friends scrap yard drove it for 3 years and junked it for 100$. So these cars have a special place in my heart.
That is awesome! Novas are the best blue color beater car there is. To me these cars are almost supposed to be clapped out and jenky it’s part of there roots lol.
I couldn't believe you let him handle the por 15 😂 he'll certainly remember that stuff.
The first time I saw the Jenko the stripes totally fooled me. Watching your videos have inspired me to work on my ratty 71 Chevelle
Heck yea man! Glad I inspired your project! Also pretty happy that my stripe fooled ya! 😉
Great content, I think I have watched all the nova videos, favorite thing is when your son is in the car helping you and you are under the car, that was awesome, reminded me of me at that age helping my pop.good stuff! Working on my 72 ventura right now doing body mounts, 2 bolts didn't wanna cooperate so that was awesome. You know how it is.Great channel!
You make awesome freaking videos Dude. Loved watching the nova. Let me no on merchandise shirts & hats. Keep up the great work Buddy.
Thanks Michael I really appreciate that! So glad you enjoy the content and are eager to help support us. No merchandise yet but if our little channel continues to grow hopefully in the future we can start doing some of that.
Very KOOL Project
Thanks John! This car is definitely a blast and so much fun.
Awesome brother!
Thanks man!
Slow clap ensues 👏. Loving all your content and builds! It’s great how you involve the whole family. Good stuff.
Thanks Matt! Glad you enjoy the content! I’ve got more up my sleeve so stay tuned!
Very interesting build! I did something similar way back when with a 62 Plymouth Sport Fury 2 door. I bought the car for $300.00 WITH a 440 4V, Cable operated 727, and a 3.91 posi. (The guy HAD to sell it NOW) I did; 6 point roll cage, welded in sub frame connectors, gutted doors, windows and quarter windows, etc... Competition valve job, minor porting, Direct Connection 2.84-4.84 Hemi Grind Cam & Lifters. some modified street headers...Weiand open plenum intake, 850 Holley carb. Still remember my first pass down Detroit Dragway with that car....
Heck yea! Sounds like a super rad car!
Purrrrrrrr… LOVE IT! Plus now with a manual trans it’s like icing on that cake! My to be Last Nova project update, looked at one today. Does poking the frame and going through it up to one’s wrist make for enough fun? Ok if not the the entire floor had fifteen license plates, a stop sign and two one way signs screwed into it. Funny how that didn’t scare me off. The $2600.00 he wanted for it gave me one helluva good laugh tho. Told him to take a deep breath and hold it till I come back again… I have a 73 lined up for a looksie next Saturday. To say I’m highly motivated is putting it mildly, I’m looking hard but not stupid. I’ll find the right one, it’ll happen😉✌🏼Keep up the great work brother!
Yea them nova prices have gotten crazy for sure! The last few I have looked at were REALLY rough and priced pretty high. Be patient and the right one will come along. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoy the videos!
Nice Nova 😎👌🏽🤙🏽
Thanks man!
That is awesome that your getting your son involved
Both my kids and my wife help from time to time. Working on the cars with them is the best memories I have from these projects!
Love your vision for these old cars , don’t get it perfect just get it back on the road ❤
Glad you understand/appreciate my work! Thanks for watching. I appreciate your support!
really enjoy your videos man. i like how your not super techinical and your gettingt hings done in a hurry i do the same thing and really enjoy the cars we put out of my little shop.
I love the no Fear attitude Brother. Keep doing what you are doing
Thanks you!
Badass car man 🤟
Thanks man!
I’m stoked to see another man using his wife’s pilot to get parts lmao. Currently hauling back a 8.8 for my fox in my wife’s pilot as I watch this video 😂😂
Hahaha that it awesome! I have had sooooo many car parts in the back of that car over the past few years lol. I now have a cheap $1000 Silverado I use to haul stuff cuz i got kicked out of the pilot haha.
Lots of work.
Definitely a whole bunch of work. We pulled this off in about 6 months.
Love it👍💯👊
Thanks!
Looking good 👍
BW sent me
Thanks joe!
You did good Brother, the JENKO is pure AWESOMENESS!!!
Thanks! It’s such a fun car thats for sure!
I know it is!! @@hatchsrecreationalengineer1997
Looking good bro! I would've patched exactly the same. My car's called "Bits & Pieces" for this reason 🤪😎💪
Right on man! Love the name! Glad you can relate and appreciate the way I repaired this classic.
Great to see a fellow New Jersian reviving a crusty relic!
Jersey! Haha thanks man!
@@hatchsrecreationalengineer1997 Maybe I’ll see you at a show! I have an 80 Malibu
@@djredl2232 heck yea man! If you see me around make sure to say hi!
As soon as you got the back glass in I said out loud to myself what about the two pieces of tape if you don't put those on it might fall out before it dries 😊😁 😂🤣
Hahaha yes the tape is a must for sure lol too funny.
Love the build, Subscribed!
Thanks BW! Glad you like the car and thanks you for your support!
Not FREAKING OUT! Laughing my ass off!
“Good enough for me” is basically a description of this project
That pretty accurately sums this one up.
First time on this channel, really enjoyed it!!! As a woman that wrenches with her hubby tell you wife to come out to the shop more often it's a great way to spend time together!
Glad you enjoyed it! I have a blast making the videos. My wife and kids do often come out to the shop to help out. You are right it is a cool way to spend time together.
Awsome I think I'm going to build on this winter
Do it! You will have a blast doing it! One of the most runs cars I’ve done and it was dirt cheap and is super reliable
Well done!!👍👍👏👏👏. Inspiration for me to keep going on mine.
Heck yea man! Get out there and get it done!
Biig big fab of this! What a great way to build a car and not have to worry too much about it 👌🏻
Thanks man! Glad you enjoy/appreciate the theme of this project! Ratty muscle cars are the best!
This makes me cherish the memory of the car I miss the most. Back in 1977 when I was 21 I had a blue 1973 Nova with 34,000 miles that I absolutely loved. Wasn't fast due to a stock 307 but it was a very pretty car that got what seemed like daily comments on what a good loooking car it was even with the stock bench seat and carpet delete. The bench seat meant my girl would scoot over beside me without a console seperating us. Bought a new set of Cragar SS wheels with G60 tires in the rear and Hi-Jacker air shocks. That gave it the classic 70's rake I wanted. Man it was gorgeous!
Good luck on your Nova!
100% shit box and I'm here for it my man .
Thanks man!
cool videos dude, keep up the good work!
Thanks man glad you enjoy the content! Thanks for your support!
Nova fan ❤😊
Heck yea! Best car model out there!!
Absolutely an awesome channel, good on you showing how to get an old classic back on the road without spending a fortune. Patina cars rule!
Thanks bob! Glad you enjoy my content and share my passion/vision for slapping these forgotten rides back on the street.
Just stumbled onto your page. Watched this build and the green one. Love it because it’s very real world- young and raising a family while still trying to pursue your hobby. I went to high school way back in the 80’s😂 and these are the kind of rides we used to throw together all the time. You’re very smart in the way that you get these projects running and driving right away because it keeps you motivated as well as it shows mama that they aren’t just junk therefore she will stay supportive. And when mama is happy, the whole house is happy!
Thanks Mike! Glad you found the channel and understand/support how I build these cars! Look forward to making more videos for you guys!
I really like your videos looking forward to see how far the nova comes. I was begging during the boneyard video for you to take that Brown Ventura u used as the thumbnail. But that tour was literally fascinating for me.
Thanks chad! Glad you enjoy my videos man I have a blast making them. If that yard was closer to me I definitely would’ve been trying to drag some stuff home lol. Those cars are far more solid then anything I have started with on the east coast.
I love it!
Beautiful job.
“Don’t get a perfect….. get it running!”
