Nova Pictures
 
Does anybody know where to find more information or pictures of this car?

http://www.tdulgerian.com/nova.jpg

It is from the Detroit Speed catalog....

Thanks

I'm no expert, but that picture looks photoshopped.

AllSpeedAndy 03-06-2008 11:38 AM

I thought the same thing...

street3285 03-06-2008 12:20 PM

Now that you say that..... it does look a little photoshopped.
So that means there probably isn't more info or pictures then.

NvrDun71 03-06-2008 01:14 PM

It is NO photoshop. The owner is a member over on pro-touring.com. There was a mag feature on it a few years back by either HotRod or PHR

HRBS 03-06-2008 03:05 PM

Never saw the sun shine in so many directions.... Wow look mom, no shadows !
And whats that fuzzy stuff under the bumper (pavement) and why cant i get a photo of my treads under the car to look so clear like that?
Come on.... its either a full on photoshop or was severly cleaned up with photoshop ! Perhaps someone elses tire was used to see what it would look like.
Why not try calling DSE and ask.

street3285 03-06-2008 03:11 PM

The car could have been cut out of its original background and placed on the asphalt. Do you know what the members name is on Pro-Touring?

100% Photoshop, I can see where the clone tool was used to blur the area under the bumper. Got'yer back Steve!

street3285 03-06-2008 03:22 PM

Ok.... I see what you guys are talking about..... but check this out.

Thanks Ben... I gotta learn to use that... I can start using that "blur" command to make myself portaits a little better ! :D

street3285: That car looks great. Very nice rear tire size..... I havent touched a 2nd Gen Nova but by the looks of the trunk, I'd say its NOT mini-tubbed. Perhaps a leaf relocater kit and a nice offset. Maybe someone will jump in and verify that for sure.

HRBS 03-06-2008 03:42 PM

Duh... I just read the article... definitly has mini-tubs.
Shows you that I know nothing....
I'll try again.... maybe MINI TUBBED with a leaf relocater kit and a nice offset ?????

street3285 03-06-2008 05:43 PM

Nice looking car, you don't see too many pro-touring Nova's.

leeroy 03-06-2008 05:44 PM

that car belongs to jeff peters he lives in tn

jpdeuce 03-06-2008 08:21 PM

I'm Jeff Peters and that is my car. I built the car and then did the minitub on it afterwards. Kind of backwards to most. Hotrod did do a feature on it. Kyle is a freind of mine and ask if he could use it in his catalog. Anything for those guys.

I actually took those photos in a parking lot about a mile from my house. The tire tread was clean and I didn't do anything to them photoshop wise. I'm not savy enough to do anything like that with a computer.

The wheel combo is a 315/35/17 on an 11" wide wheel.

jpdeuce 03-06-2008 08:32 PM

Oh, and thanks for the comment, (

I have had lots of people that didn't think it had been minitubbed after they looked in the trunk. That was my whole intention, to make it look factory. I have done several that way.

street3285 03-06-2008 08:40 PM

Thank you for the info....what is the backspace that on that wheel?

jpdeuce 03-06-2008 08:44 PM

Budnick Tillers with a 5" backspace.

leeroy 03-06-2008 09:11 PM

Jeff Did You Get Dewaynes Car Finished

MarkM66 03-07-2008 06:45 AM

It's a "3rd gen" Nova. ;)

jpdeuce....Thanks for posting up and proving I'm not crazy, lol. I love how everyone on here was convinced it was a photoshop and a fake car and you proved them all wrong, hahaha.

On a side note do you have any recent pics of your car, if so please post them up always loved the car.

jpdeuce 03-07-2008 08:22 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys. I haven't done anything to the Nova in a while now. I have been too busy with customer cars. Still have a few on the list to boot.

Dwayne's car will be finished in time for the Spring Grand Rod Run in P.F. I just finished the exhaust and about have the bottom side buttoned up. A few more cosmetics under the hood and then it'll be time to fire it up for a shakedown. I think he's gonna be very happy with it! Its turned out awsome!
