Very well done, but not feeling that year Nova. The earlier model looked much better.

The car is well finished but if you are combining retro with modern stuff I would highly suggest at least a pair of headrest. I would hate to drive that car without headrest.

notorious at goodguys joliet

Video of the car at the Goodguys Joilet. Listen closely to the car when its going around the big oval. You can hear the procharger and it sounds like a jet.

Copy this link as is. It will play in high quality.

Much better quality video of the Nova going around the track at the chicagoland motor speedway. Check it out.

Check out our friends at rad rides by troy on the Discovery Channel, Tues December 16th at 9pm central time. Discovery filmed an hour long show of them out at the Bonniville salt flats. Might even catch a glimpse of our nova!
