New Rad Rides by Troy Project--'70 Nova

[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.

sounds correct. As for the front i think its about a 245 40 18 But im only sure about it being an 18" tire. Btw..according to the guys at the shop the rear tires on this car are very rare. I guess its a tough size to get in an 18"

Some cars look boring with just one color. I think this is a car that could go either way.

personally i like two tones.

haha..how bout a purple and yellow two tone??? That sounds perfect. I promise if we do a two tone it will be tasteful. The only two-tone that really doesnt appeal to me, that Troy has ever done is the corvette "split second" but the owner insisted on the purple color! Everything else looks pretty awesome coming out of there.

hey i like purple - a lot

[stang97]

hey i like purple - a lot

me too..i was serious.haha

btw..we had some tamales at our favorite food joint, they got a new sign out front too!

That metalwork looks so good you ought to clear coat the bare steel with maybe a cool pinstripe to break things up.

i have a question...maybe the pics are decieving but is the supercharger bracket mounted directly to the chassis? it looks like there is some sort of flexable mount in pic 109 in the build pics.
Anyways cool car..ive been following Troys builds for quite some time...and had the chance to see a few in person but pictures never seem to do them any justice.
Do you plan on having it in Columbus at GGuys? i been considering taking the trip down to the show from Canada and would be awesome if i got to see the final project in person. Hopefully you will be competing against the Ringbrothers Camaro if i make it there!

Had 3 tamales today -- I just wish I could have the refried beans. Seems my cholesterol is a little high and the Docs say I should eat a little better.

Supercharger bracket is directly welded to the frame with the throttle in the fender. It is going to be at columbus and either myself or my dad are going to show up to watch it do its thing around the autocross. I am interested to see all of the other cars run the track, esp the ringbros car. It will be fun times for sure.

I agree it could work! Clear it and pinstripe it.

Your doctor obviously hasnt been to that place before. I had the beans on wed and they are awesome.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

i like the way you changed up your post to be "witty"

hahahahah

jk.. nah i dont hate 2 tone.. it just seems that this car would suit its style better with a clean color to show the work.

feel me?
