New Rad Rides by Troy Project--'70 Nova

[stang97]

Stang,
If you get a chance, can you get a picture of the trunk area. Specifically how the filler neck to the fuel tank was incorporated around the trunk lock. Thanks and progress is awsome!

the trunk lock is gone. The filler neck simply runs through the metal on the back of the car and into the fuel cap. Ill see if i can get a picture of it.

Dude,
This car is looking SO FREAKING BAD A$$!! Tell me, what's it like, knowing you have the baddest nova in the country?!!?

Thanks for the comment. We are pretty modest but i will say that it will be nice to rep the old school muscle crowd (esp the novas) out on the street. I think the most fun is going to be taking it out at night since its such a dark car.

Lets not get carried away sure to be nice peice but theres a few being put together now that are just off the chains nicer no offense with custom built tube chassis design and theres a particular 66 going together now that will just be amazing!

Which ones? Any pictures of this 66 you are talkin about?

I'm going to ASSUME he is talking about John's 66 Nova being built by Ironworks. https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=17108
His username on here is novanutcase. It too looks like a badass nova someday, but it's gonna be awhile until it's in the finsihing stages like this one. So for now, I'm saying this is the baddest nova in the country and we'll see what the future holds.

I'm not sure if I missed it earlier, but who came up with the name, and how? It seems to fit the car pretty well

From dictionary.com
notorious [nəˈtoːriəs] adjective
well-known for badness or wickedness
Example: a notorious murderer

The name came out of my dad, brother and myself thinking of good names. Once we had the idea of what kind of car we were going for...dark and spooky...the name fit perfectly. I dont know what else it could be called, notorious just fits!

[TonyL]

that, and Nova and Notorious both start with No. That's the first thing I always thought of anyway.
