New Rad Rides by Troy Project--'70 Nova

[stang97]

This Car is an amazingly awesome built car!
But has zero sex appeal, No contrast and is allllll so DARK with the wheels and trim and engine, again awesome ride but this keeping up with the jones trend of dark wheels and bland colors plz say its a fad! I think the wheels is the down fall and dont get me started on the 69 razor car whats up with those wheels! Beautiful ride and the wheels in the first picks were off the chains nice. Wish them luck though really cool peices but again personal prefrence as for color.

Lets hope its atleast fast!

What kind of sex appeal should have been done? I dont really think you understand the type of car this is supposed to be? Wheel wise...you cant put blingy chrome on it, because there is no chrome whatsoever on the vehicle. If this car was to keep up with the jones or whatever...it would have had been painted gloss black, with a big hood scoop along with the typical chrome rims, bumpers, grill etc etc. Also, the supercharger would have a big tube running across the engine into a nasty looking throttle body hat.
Not calling you out or anything but i think you should see these cars in person before you make radical opinions about them.

It will be on the top list of things to check out Sat.
And like i said in typical Troy fassion the detail will be off the charts.
And by my keeping up with the jones comment its about alllllll the cars that are following this current trend of Dark wheels and no contrasting look to the car in anywhere. Troy is one of my favoraite builders and has built some unforgetable cars this one just seems pretty forgetable.
But i'll hold final judgement till i see it.Although it sure is nice to see a Nova instead of another Camaro Good luck this weakend!

I swear to god, every single idea I have in my tiny pointed head is being incorporated in this build. it drives me nuts! but i love the fact that it looks as good as I hoped! I am glad somebody is building a third gen to be a beastly performer and show quality car. Thats what I am aiming for on my build, I am gonna have to stop by Troy's shop when I move up to Chicago, its awesome!

[SaturnVUEguy]

Steering wheel is cool, definitely unique.

Yeah the racepak is sweet. Also this particular one is the only one thats in a car as of now. Its a prototpye model that they are developing to sell soon. The differences are that it has turn signal indicators and a few other buttons that make it more suitable for a street car. Im sure my dad is going to love driving his beast with that thing!

I think the racepak is around 1k. As for the rest of it im not sure how many hrs are into the actual dash and dash piece. 18 inch rims with a 295 tire

Thanks for the comments. There will be plenty of pictures and a build book. We are going to drive it!

Don't forget the crying Moose in the dash

Now that you mention it, I went back up to the picture of the wheel and noticed I could read the dimensions right on the tire..295/45/ZR18

I still can't get over that dash though. I like that racepak, I want one! That dash surround panel around the racepak and the tach looks great. I like how you can see the contours on it. Very well done!

This is one of the best cars i have worked on,Just so people know Troy wanted the interior toned down to go with the theme.They started the car last night and is Badd a$$ sounding.One of Troys best engine compartments(his words)Glad i got to be part of it Dereck.

Holy truck tire!

[TonyL]

The tire does seem a little on the high profile side for something from Troy's shop. I'll reserve judgment until I see the whole car though.

[BaddestBuick]

and it still looks sexy with the high profile tire
