Roadster Shop Projects

[Roadster Shop]

Things have been pretty busy around the shop and I've been slacking on this thread. In addition to completing the Nova for Columbus, we have also been running wide open on several other areas.

The body work and prep was wrapped up on the 55 Nomad and we sprayed the body this week. The rest of the parts are going into the booth and the cut and buff will begin on the main body. Chassis has been assembled and ready to go under the body as well.

Another cool project that we are just about wrapping up is a bitchen' Nova Gasser. This was originally a PHR cover car back in 1973. The majority of the components remain original to the car. We are making a few refinements for drivability and safety but it will otherwise appear basically as it did in the early 70's.

A copy of the original cover and article.

My bet is on a space ship. The Nova was probably just a testbed. Clearly the sky is the limit for these guys

Damn, I just drooled on my keyboard. A twin turbo Nelson Racing Engine sitting atop an RS chassis. What more could a guy ask for?
