      New Rad Rides by Troy Project--'70 Nova

      Hello everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. My father and I are having a 1970 Nova built by Troy, over at rad rides. I have already talked to a few of you on here and everyone seems pretty nice on this forum. We look forward to working with Troy and get ready to see our build up of a car my dad had when he was in his 20s.

      I might post some stuff up here (picts etc) but I think Troy is going to have stuff on his website of the build.



      Any guys from chicago...you WILL see this car on the road and at the local car shows (downers grove, lemont etc). These machines were ment to be driven! More to come!
      -Derek

      Will it be a nice build or another totally over the top creation?
      Can't wait to see Troy's magic!

      70 or 71. I'm sure more than a few on here is waiting to see a Nove with the Ride's treatment.

      cuda-Its going to be something similar to the caliber of rogans cuda and the fastforwardfastback. Nice paint, guerilla undercoat, big motor and killer suspension.

      go-fish- Funny you say that..."70 or 71" We bought a car from pennsyl from this guy that told us the car he was selling was rust free and had no problems. The thing sat for about 9months before troy took it in last week. Ends up, they strip the car down and the guy totally lied to us about it. We had to junk practically the whole body. That car was a '71 and well disguised. Moose found us a car within a day and today we visited the shop and saw the "new" 1970 car. From the looks of that one...it looks like a solid car. The cool part about this car is that no one has really done a killer 70's nova yet...its going to be exciting!

      If anyone is looking for some stock nova parts call rad rides..they have our car in pieces over there.

      I knew it was a matter of time before they would to do a 70's Nova! I just wish it would have been mine!

      My favorite builder ...... just wish they would update there site more with CURRENT projects, they are still showing build pics of the 66 Chevy which was finished a few months back, nothing on there about the Nova.

      69 Nova-
      There was a rendering done about a year and a half ago. I dont want to post it up here until the car is done. Reason being it spoils all the fun of watching the car take shape. Besides that..the paint job is going to be totally different from what it shows rendered.

      If anyone is down there and grabs some pictures (Marty) thats fine with us. Ill probably be posting some myself anyway.

      Update on the car.

      Visited the shop today and the car is completely stripped down. Car had virtually no rust at all. Even in spots where these cars notoriously rusted, it was clean. I will post some picts of what the car looked like originally. Engine arrived earlier this week as well.
