Hey Guys -

Thought you might dig this - we shot Dru Diesner's 1972 Nova a couple of weeks ago and it was simply outstanding. It was originally built by Kurt Urban and then sold to Dru a couple of years ago. Thing is unreal. Enjoy

If the thing still has stock manual drum brakes he should screw the cool "sleeper" look and put some real brakes on it before he kills himself or worse somebody else. I've been on the wrong side of a fast car with stock drum brakes, it is NOT fun, but that was 25 yrs ago when a big deal brake upgrade was going from four wheel drum to stock discs up front. Hate all you want but everything is fine until someone else on the road does something you don't expect.

It's disc all-around and stops just fine.

I didn't think anyone now adays would build something so badass and skimp on an important aspect.

That video is f*cking awesome, btw.

Good to hear, he didnt say anything the brakes being upgraded and he went on how it still has the manual steering so......

That thing is freakin awesome, but someone has to figure out how to put power steering in it. IMO the manual steering is just dangerous with that much power.

For me, yes. I like to think about when that thing gets loose on a hard accel.
