Rad Rides By Troy Building a 70'S Nova ....

[notorious1970]

Can you ask and see if they want to build another Nova right behind yours? should be a little cheaper since they'll have everything dialed in just getting yours done? be ALMOST like assembly line work!

Haha..Yeah shoud be cake after doing my dads car. Jareds going to know that thing in and out by the time its done.

Mr. Bob hasnt shown us any ideas for painting yet but I think Troy still has that Rogan paint job in the back of his mind. So time will tell. There is also one part of Rogans car that never actually made it on the cuda. It has been lurking around the engine bay of ours. Its large and it says "race only" on it. Thats all im sayin.

it was a blower of some sort.....procharger I think. I really dig the paint scheme they didn't use on the sick fish.

Heard some of the Camaro guys stopped by the shop. If so what did you think of the Nova thus far?

As of last week the tail lights where being fitted. This proved to be more work than originally thought. The problem is that Novas have a slight curve to them in the back. So you are trying to fit a straight light in a surface that is slightly curved. Rear bumper was also cut up in a bunch of places and refitted. Now its only protruding out of the body line about a 1/2 inch. All of the gapping has just about been complete. Once the rear end is complete the front will be the final part of the body work. The brakes finally arrived as well. They are baer 6 pistons with "rad rides" inscribed on them. They are massive, something like 15" front 14" rear. Check this out.

I'm one of the "Camaro" guys that stopped in. The Nova is going to be awesome. Troys work is incredible.

The car looks great. Not sure why I didn't take any pics of it, I had intended on doing so.

When we were there, Jarod was sectioning the rear Camaro bumper. Looks real clean.

I got several pictures of it at Troys. I need to resize them before posting. Scott I could send them to you in a zip file, there are some other pictures in the group you would like also.
