i was at the radrides booth last month at a show and they said there was talk about this Nova being driven to the show? i cant remember the guys name i think they call him Moose? anyways he said he hoped you guys trailered it.

p.s so is there any agreement between your dad and Troy that this car has to have a certain amount of event coverage at shows around the states? I know every year i see a different car at there booth but the owners are never there just the staff who built it bring it to the show.

p.p.s who is driving it in the auto-x? your dad or troy?

Yeah there was talk of that. Much safer to trailer it though, esp since its about a 6 hr drive. As far as an agreement goes with showing the car, we basically let Troy run with the ball. Whatever shows he wants to show it then he will. Hopefully we'll get it for a few weeks and enjoy it before summers over. I know there are a lot of venders at sema that want it as well. We will be at this show, the Joliet,IL goodguys and SEMA for sure.

We are going to try and see it do the autocross but we may not since we wont roll into the show till 1pm. Probably Troy will drive it.

I have to agree with a few others on the larger sidewall and 18s. I fricken hate those big wheels and rubber band tires and that car is gonna not only look show worthy, but road worthy and race worthy as well. 18s look great on muscle cars with a 295/45 sidewall. Any wheel larger just ruins 'em for me.

I like the subtle stuff like the late model vents on the dash and so forth too. They look almost factory in their execution as well... I can't wait to see some final pix of this thing!

Please be sure to post which booth will have it at SEMA when you know as I would love to check this out in person as well.
