LMAO those guys need to get out more. I could only imagine what they think of all the other nicely done Novas out there that aren't period correct looking. Their mindset is period correct for not moving forward with the times and technology. To each his own, keep the build going, BAD@$$ is all I have to say about your Nova.
Don't get discouraged Derek, when the purists on Steve's first saw my rendering with the shrunken bumpers, lower valence, big wheels, low stance, fender vents and overall smoother look a few years ago, many could only muster a compliment on the quality of the rendering but "somewhat" avoided making critical comments like "chopping up" a perfectly good Nova.
Forget 'em! You cannot possibly make EVERYONE happy. Just worry about yourself and how excited you and your dad will be to have it in the garage and driving around in a Troy built car! Keep your eye on the prize!
Man that just ticks me off. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but that bunch needs to keep their piehole shut. Not one of those guys have anything that could even come close to the peice of art you will have in the end. Screw those guys and keep rocking on it, I think its too cool.

Its no problem at all..someone pointed that forum out to me and i thought it was just funny. I think it will be fun to park it next to a stock nova..to really see the differences in both. Rock on!

Same here, well said. Did someone say Joe Rogan original sick fish paint scheme??? Could be a possibility.
Exhaust is all finished up and now I heard that Procharger has stepped in with one of their superchargers which is awesome. Work has started on a killer engine bay.
I wont be able to get any new pics up until after new years but check the rad rides site for updates.
Some of Them guys need to pull there ball's outta there momma's purse ....
There's plenty of Nova's on the street to where ONE cannot be the sacrificial lamb and made real bitchin,unique and flat out cool! not like there cuttin up a numbers matching original 63 split window owned by Kennedy with 12 miles on it.
Remember the 50's when builders such as Winfield,Watson and Barris used parts from other cars all the time, different bumpers,headlight assemblies,trim etc.
This Nova will do more for Nova's then any other Nova on the street today.....Ive had mine for over 20 years,glad to have it, specially Now.

We're going to be shooting some video on this car on Friday at Rad Rides... we'll be on the road, so you'll have to wait until next week to see it, but we'll let you know when it posts. Anything in particular anyone wants to see? Questions?
