Thats a valentine one radar. The best radar detector I have ever used. Check it out. http://www.valentine1.com/

Its wired straight into the cars wiring system. When you turn the car on it automatically fires up.

Rear end with bumpers. Still no sign of the rims :question: Im thinking they are going to be ready next week from Billet. Supposedly they are pretty nice, and a one off design.

When it comes to this car, Adam and Jared are the rockstars. The two of them basically built the whole car. Everyone had a part in contributing to the nova though, and are all extremely talanted. 2weeks to go and we are excited. :lateral:

notorious1970 06-27-2008 01:48 PM

Update
 
Exhaust is completed and fully installed. Gas tank and flexfuel sensor is in place and all of the necessary plumbing is installed. Belly pan will cover the whole gas tank and a lot of the exhaust back there.

Happy Friday.

I'm just curious, does radrides send you pics daily every few days or how does that work? Some of the pics your showing are on their website, and I believe you visit every week so I'm sure some of the pics come from them.

Just curious.

We get pictures sent to us from them. I know some of these are on the website, but they usually hit this site and a couple others before radrides puts them up. Also, some of the pictures come from Adam and Jared via cell phone...so those are exclusive! :thumbsup:

heres a few more

It is really cool when a customer not only gains a bitching car, but gains life long friends. As much as it is "Business" It is not just business. The best customers are the ones you gain friendships through, and stuff like that is what makes this hobby so rewarding. I was thinking you were also getting pics from from the guys doing the work, also.

I'm excited to see this car in Columbus.

Exactly...i mean obviously we love visiting and seeing the progress on the car but it gets to a point were we genuinely enjoy the company of these guys. I def. consider them friends and not just "the people building our car." Its much more then that. :thumbsup:

Derek, you got to have Jared show you all the trick things he wired the car to do.

This is my first post, I have been on here for awhile just looking around. I figured what better time than now to post something. I just wanted to say that this car has got to be one of my favorite cars ever built and it isn't even done yet. The rad rides team builds an unbelievably detailed car. Can't wait to see it done. Good luck at columbus.

Yes, hes told me a "few" things but I know they are leaving a lot out just to keep us in the dark until the end! Which of course is cool..saves some of it as a surprise. Isnt the diamond audio stuff bad a$$. I know you can appreciate that.

There are so many other cars on this site that are killer, but thanks for letting us know what you think of this car. :thumbsup: Its been great seeing how people react to it. One of the coolest things for us is going to be when we take the car out on the road and get reactions from other people. Troy told me a story about how Glen (from Billet) was on his way back from some car event and he pulled into a gas station in nowhere, USA. Of course he had the Chicayne and the one other person filling up there knew of the car and was going nuts over it. So i guess the experiences, people we'll meet and the stories will really make it a great memory. --end of speech. and we have apprx 10 days left!

400 clicks.....
 
Well first off I couldnt resist in posting number 400!

Secondly, I think the Nova needs to make a west coast swing just to see the guy who sarted this post:thumbsup::lol: and get its picture taken with mine!

The teaser shots are looking great, I bet you cannot wait, quite honestly,neither can I! wish I was coming to columbus.

I can see how them guys would become your friends, the little I have talked to Moose and Troy they seem like real cool guys to hang out with, you'll just have to do another project with them:yes:
