New Rad Rides by Troy Project--'70 Nova

[stang97]

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.

lol, for sure! The whole supercharger setup is a little baffling. Its one of those things where you wont understand the setup until its done.

The blower setup is similar to alot of street legal race cars... in those, you force the air back into the car to an ice / water filled intercooler where the passenger seat usually lives or in the trunk, then plumb the charge back through the cowl into the throttle body. It's going to be pretty trick looking.

Looks awesome....

It's cool how Troy is way into these builds. It's also great to see some more description about the build. Pics are great, but his explanation of the car is top notch.

Awesome car!

Derek,

Here's a few shots from yesterday. Levi told me the car is going to bodyshop on Monday...







This is not the Nova, but it was freakn' cool. I have been hanging around the shop for a couple of years and first saw this on their site, 3 years ago...

I always wondered, how do they have the cars in bare metal and not have it form some kind of surface rust?

I asked the guys at the shop the same question. They will sometimes use a thin layer of oil and use a pad across the surface, but the building is climate controlled which reduces the chances of surface rust.

For my protouring friends.
Great picts. When you look through the grill and see that procharger it just looks absolutely mean. Levi's the man for the job on that setup. Did an incredible job on it. The core support/supercharger cover he built is gorgeous.
We also have a color for the car, it is spot on and looks spooky. They painted a small panel for us to check out and the color change in certain lighting is amazing. A dark charcoal will be used. I know i keep saying this but this time its a reality...body shop any day now.

peace

D.........I went back on Troy's site and looked at all the pics of the Nova, so far..........speachless, absolutely speachless, the one-off fabrication work is just magical. The exhaust, the hood, the dash, etc.etc. Can't wait to see it in person, I'm glad you live close!!!

This is the most bad a** Nova ever created! I can't wait until it's done. I am only 18 and about to start a Pro-Touring project on my '69 Nova. It will be my first project and i hope it turns out a tenth as cool as your car will turn out. That roll cage set up is awesome and i hope to have something similar in my car. Great car and hope to see it in person in the near future.

Right on Zack..hope to see the progress of yours on here.

badass is right, killer

thanks!

Glad you like it Scott....now the real fun begins and the magic happens as they bodywork and paint it. Its only going to get better from here. You ought to check the car out at the shop sometime, since your local.

next time you get a chance to get down to the shop can you ask how long it took to fab the cage? im looking to build something similar to that for my 70 and I want some idea of how long it should take!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

that thing is sick!!!

[WideLowandFast]

Wow... That Nova is absolutely nasty, sick, badass... I'm currently building a '74 Nova Hatchback. I was never really into the body style. But after following your Nova's build, it's changing my mind.
