Looking great! I would assume that the poster on Steve's site are a bit younger...possibly?

One thing is for sure-they have no tact

Visited the shop today and work is progressing. They are basically finishing up on some last minute touches. Pretty much everything has been finish welded. Rear shock mounts have been reinforced for extra strength. Exhaust is fully completed.

Work has been concentrated on some last minute touches to the front end bumpers and fenders. Like i said the last minute things before the body shop gets it. The big part is the engine bay. The way this thing is set up is awesome. What you'd expect from opening the hood in a supercharged car, you can pretty much forget about. Totally different way of plumbing the supercharger (procharger) and a few other things regarding it that ive been sworn to secrecy about!! I have never heard of a supercharger being setup the way they are doing it. Procharger really stepped up and overnighted pretty much everything we needed to supercharge the 572 beast. Their supercharger looks sinister and its cool to work with them on it.

Very excited to see this.

I dont know how you couldnt be excited for something like this. My dad always wanted to get a Nova since he parted with his 30 years ago. Its going to be bad ass to ride with him in one after hearing so much about the original car he had.
As far as troy goes and any builder for that matter...they are only going to build so many cars in their lifetime and its awesome to be part of a build like this. Anyone with some $$ can walk into a dealer buy a porsche, ferrari, or other high end sports car (which are still cool)....but in my mind these cars are where its at!
