I guess everyone's entitled to their own opinion no matter how wrong it is...



That car is truly a piece of rolling art.

Don't get me wrong. There was a lot of custom bodywork and hard time put into it that I like. Over all I like the car but there are changes I personally would have made. I do give them kudos for something different.

. Then it was ruined with the hood, spoiler, interior and covering up the gas tank. The heat that is going to build up just spells problems.

If you look back thru the build pics, The exhaust that is routed thru the the belly pan in back is wrapped in some sort of thermal pipe wrap. I'm assuming that this is to keep the heat down.

Some of the design elements have stirred up some controversy here on these boards, but IMO this is one of (if not THE) nicest nova builds i've ever seen. Its about stepping outside the box, And Troys guys have done just that here.

Get that video up there! We need a burnout or 3!

I'd like to see some closeups of the interior details if anyone has some pics of it to post.

The interior was done to Troy's specs,Pretty basic with some cool fabric and color choices.I used leather,canvas,cloth.Dash was painted and also the console.The whole idea was to give it a stripped down muscle car look with the design part of it.Wasn't trying to start new trends,just a nice look for the car.There is some good pics on the columbus threads that Marty took and put up,I have a bunch as soon as i get around to posting pics(still need a photo host,any suggestions?)

[stang97]

Just picked this up. Full hour long version of the original 9 min video. The 9 min one can be seen here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K8OkjUeXps

Lots of good footage on this thing. That 4 cylinder turbo motor in the blowfish really sounds wicked.

[compos mentis]

Great video...lots of humor plus some serious runnin' on the flats.

Thanks for posting it.
