New Rad Rides by Troy Project--'70 Nova

That thing is going to be pretty sweet. Only thing I am not sure on is the offset hood scoop. But, I guess he is more successful than I am so, he probably knows a thing or two more than me.

Heres a quick shot of the subframe. Gives you a little idea of color. Also they cleaned up all of the welds on the DSE piece and smoothed it out in places. It looked good as is but they made it even nicer. Also we needed to get different springs because the originals were for a small block. The new ones are 2 inches longer and have a higher spring rate.

The car is still being sanded in sealer. Currently the firewall, interior and roll cage are painted. They also have sprayed the underside of the car with the speedliner for protection from debris. Adam and Jared told me that the rest would be painted this week, probably on weds or thurs.

Just wait. I saw the hood with paint last week. It will blow you away. Troy is a dare to be different kind of builder. That's why he is so successful.

just checked out all the pics and there are so many cool things my head is spinning.....good job

the rad rides site is down..

I probably missed it in the 13 pages of this thread, but what is the reason/inspiration for the hood?

Your question alone is the reason. There is so much controversy on the hood. That alone is probably the reason. You know it's non-functional. Like I said before, it's Troy's "Dare to be different" mindset. Trust me, It'll be awesome. I saw it painted last week. It rocks.

Getting there...5 weeks left to finish!
Enjoy!
