Rushforth Whiplash on Nova *Pics*
 

Here's a project car taking shape at www.j-rodandcustom.com. It's running a killer set of 18" front and 19" rear Whiplashes. The wheel finish is Smoked Titanium center, and brushed and cleared outer.

Check out that hood... pretty cool eh? All done by J-Rod!

Cool car!:thumbsup:

J-Rods is probably one of the finest up and coming fabricators in the industry...can't wait to see more cars in the future:D

Wow awesome set of wheels! I love that Titanium finish :thumbsup:

J-Rod is Jared Hancock's nickname that stuck well enough for him to use the play on words for his shop name.

Jared doesn't like to brag so let me do it for him. Some of you will recognize the attached Camaro he and I collaborated on from last year that won a Mother's Shine Award at SEMA last year and was on the cover of Chevy Rumble.

I love working with J because he is willing to fab anything I draw and always executes it perfect. If you're wondering about the masking tape on the fender, that area will be stylized functional vents based loosely on the decorative vents from a 70 and will be happening soon as will a member/vehicle intro for the car by the owner.

Good looking Nova!! As mentioned - the hood looks awesome! Wheels look great also. Look forward to seeing the rendering and project come together.

Nice work J-Rod & crew :cool:

Thanks for the intro Jason!

Jason designed the hood, and once again nailed it! Its got a great shape that is very unique and subtle.

The wheels are killer! Hard not to like with the smoked titanium center finish and all that dish out back!

We will have some updates coming soon on the car, and the site.

Look for an artical on the hood in next months Chevy Rumble.

nice , real nice !

Good Hood!
 

how wide is that rear wheel/tire? is it bagged & have tub's ( I am assuming so)

I am sold on the 18/19 combo, they look good, so does the hood!

Hey Jared,

I have hood hinges, door strikers, door jam vents and tail lights for the Nova if you are interested. Let me know when you get to that stage if you are interested. Thanks

Fesler,

Do you have any pics of your tail lights for the Nova?

Is that Nova bagged?
If not, does the front tires rub when you turn?

I looked on his site for more pictures of the car.

However I couldn't find any plus it's a flash site - which just irratates me so i just stopped looking

But I would like to say that the car and the wheels look awesome.

As said before,hood is killer.I think if I see another 4'' cowl hood I'm gonna be sick.lol.

I will show some shots soon, we are debuting them at SEMA so they are top secret right now if you know what I mean. They are sick just trust me on that we will have them on our 70 Nova in our booth if you are coming to SEMA this year. We will also have hinges, strikers and a few other parts on the car. The best part will be the 345/30ZR19 on the rear

Ok I take back what I said about the wheel finish in the other thread. Lighting shows the contrast must better. I like it a lot.

Awsome metal work on the nova too.

That belongs to a design/wheel client of mine in Alabama that J-Rod built last year and was shown in Columbus and SEMA.

And BTW, Jared built when he was 23!

That is a NICE car!!!!:wow:
Kid's got some talent!

Any updates on this Nova? and that hood design is bad ass Jay!

Thanks Man!
The owner should be introducing himself around here soon and starting a build thread but at the moment, Jared is helping our friend Chris/YouthPastor get his Camaro wrapped up for SEMA. https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=17034
When Jared isn't helping on that, he's finishing up the paint on one of his client's 32 and fabbing a killer twin throttle body/twin plenum intake for the Nova which should all wind up on the build thread soon. The entire fabrication of the hood will be in Chevy Rumble soon as well so look for that.

Looks VERY nice. Holy cow!

any updates
 

Any updates on this one? that hood is so cool :thumbsup:

They are one-offs I designed just for that car and then we had that set custom made for it.
