New Rad Rides by Troy Project--'70 Nova

[cmraman]

Hey stang97, I frequent Troy's shop. In fact I'm going this week. I am a freelance photog for some of the Primedia mags and would love to get it into one of them. I've mentioned it to Troy and seems to be on board. I recently shot the Hurricayne for PHR and did the posters of the 40 ford they just completed. I love nova's and yours is looking really good. I am really looking forward to seeing the completed car. When is the project finish date?

When is the project finish date

Looking at sometime around april/may i think. Though im not 100% sure on that. I know we wanted it for the summer months here in chicago. What you said sounds cool. I saw the picts of Hurricane and the 40 ford posters. Both looked great! Whatever Troy decides is fine.

Do you mind if I post some pics? I'm going to the shop to see Troy on another matter.

Go right ahead. Get some good ones.

On another note. Tracy Weaver will be doing the interior. We have heard great things about him and can't wait to work with him on the interior. Troy has some really awesome ideas for the interior.

Sorry I don't have more pics, but I'm suffering with a broken foot getting these was a challenge on crutches, and there was alot of activity on the car today. They were working on the placement of the supercharger and the induction. The car looks killer and Troy has posted pics on the project page on the ground and the stance is awesome. Here is a few pics from today, but again, not many. I just didn't want to get in the way.

Thanks for those compliments. When he had it on the ground we all took turns sitting in it with some old seat they had layin around. That was pretty cool.
Good pics...it looks like adam is getting the dash vents put in. I dont know if you managed to take a peek under the car but its alll business under there.

No I didn't get under the car. Jared was under it working on it and there was a lot of activity around the car. Plus walking around on crutches made it very difficult to maneuver around the shop. I am really working on one of my editors to feature the car. I'll keep you posted on this.

Hi Derek..............I'm out in Plainfield
I've always wanted to visit Troy's shop, since it is so close to us here in suburban Chicago. Can't to see you and the car in person and actually meet. I am about 3/4's of the way done on my own Protouring build on a 73 Camaro.

I just went through this thread today for the first time....that is a dream build, that you and your Dad have going there.....especially having the work done by Troy's shop. It has been fun watching the metamorphasis of this Nova.......the attention to detail is just mind-boggling.

Now I really can't wait to see this when its finished. I just wish I was around some of the purists when they get a load of this Nova and S*** their pants.
