Rad Rides by Troy 1970 Nova "Notorious"
Rad rides by troy has been on discovery channel a few times and helped build a few of the overhauling cars as well. They are extremely well known in the hotrod world for building well engineered cars.
Ive posted this on a few other forums that I frequent and figured I would do the same for my evo friends.
This Nova project was built and finished in about 17months. My dad wanted a car that looked dark and spooky...something that looked like it just finished doing something criminal. This theme was built on and incorporated all of the best parts out there. It happened to be that the car was finished in time for one of the biggest hot rod shows around, goodguys nationals in columbus,OH. We were in the top 5 of about 4-5000 cars and beat out by a 69 camaro.
Check it out let me know what you think.

Just finished and loaded onto the trailer for Columbus Goodguys. July 11th '08

Thanks for the comments. We havent even driven the car yet. Hopefully in a couple weeks we will get to comment on how it drives. I can say first hand that the audio is hands down the best ive ever heard in a car. All diamond audio gear with a kenwood touch screen head unit.
