great looking car any updates

Not since yesterday. The rear end is done. Now on to the front. We go visit about every two weeks.

wow this car is impressive so far. I think you are dealing with the best builder in the country IMHO.

[stang97]

Thanks for the comments. Everything is going really well with the car. I my mind Troy and his crew are the best.

BTW how do the 315s fit?? We were lookin to do 325s in the rear with the minitubs. Will be a close fit.

Any updates/pics?

[stang97]

Front end is almost completed already. Most of its work was done behind the scenes to get everything to fit correctly. Fab work on the exhaust has begun. Jared started on the driver side header. Work on it slowed a tad this past week because of the prep work for "blowfish" at the salt. Probably another week or two on the front end. After that I don't know whats next. Pretty much all of the fab work has been completed. A roll bar is still up in the air and a possibility.

Okay here are 3 pics that I got.
First picture is with the bumper being fitted. What started out as a camaro bumper really cannot be considered one anymore. Its been cut up every which way. Jared is resp. for most of this front end construction. On to the headers, Adam did an excellent job. They have such an incredibly close tolerance to the the frame and the engine. The driver side header just about wraps around the steering shaft. As for the third picture...well you know what a friday night,some beverages and the crew at rad rides leads to. haha..Nova 4 life!

We are visiting the shop right before the joliet, IL goodguys show. Work on a small rollcage has begun and will probably be complete by then. If anyone attends the show be sure to let Troy know about the excitement with this car. It really is a dream for my dad and it shows how bad and sinister our novas can look. This thing is going to look "nasty" in the rearview!

Enjoy! Almost ready for paint!

Any chance it will make it to SEMA?
Is Bob coming up with some pretty sinister paint schemes?
