Default You like Novas? Well we've got them...

Well everyone seems to think that all we work on are Novas. So I thought I might show you a few pics of the Novas we have currently.

Most everyone knows about Johns, well here is pic of her on the scales.
She weighed less then 2700 lbs at this point. All of the drivetrain is installed.

Then there is Brians bad ass 63 we just got back from Powder coat, It is getting ready for some body work. Those Fikse's sure look good.

Then there is a sneak preview of a little convertible with the mock up drivetrain..... UUUUMMMM

Oh but there is more

Default And for the turbo guys

Then for you turbo guys we have dual 91mm turbo's on a 400 inch sbc. It should run 6.90's in the 1/4 mile here in a few weeks once we begin track testing. It is in for some bar changes and exhaust work.

We should be starting on another turbo 66 or 67 nova in few months with a twin turbo LSX engine. Both cars are being built to run in PSCA and West Coast Hot Rod.

Enjoy

Rodger

It amazes me how much power those turbo guys make with those big ass turbos. It is also manzing to hear them spit and bang and pop when they take off from the starting like as they are cutting out the cylinders. Can you imagine the first guy who did that and how many times must have let off thinking something has to be wrong.

check out this video

scroll down you will find it.

All the Novas Rodger's building are pretty bad ass but that Twin Turbo 400 is just CRAZY! I saw that thing this weekend when I cruised up there! WOW! I hope those SFC's hold! LOL!
