Rad Rides By Troy Building a 70'S Nova ....

[NOVA]

They have started, no pics (yet)
rendering was done a year ago but the owner does not want to post right now, and they have made some paint scheme changes.
someone will have some photos sometime I am sure!
there is nothing on radrides web site either.

Heres what I posted in Protouring.com. My dad is the owner of the 70 Nova at rad rides.

Update!

Got a few pictures from today.
Here you can see the floor of the car. Floor is perfect except for the very front of it. This picture shows the floor after Jared welded in a new small panel.


This is showing how clean this car really was. Here are some parts off of the front of the car.

One fender had a small patch put on it about 3"X3" and the other one was perfect with zero rust.

Finally, here is a picture taken down the side of the car. All original panels. You will notice all of the marker lights are shaved off, this is the same on the front fenders. Also the stubs that hold the trim are also removed and filled.


Baer brakes should be in any time soon and the throttle body came in via ups while we were there today. Still working on the rear suspension (DSE stuff). Enjoy!

Cool, thanks for the pics, Derek. I'm looking forward to seeing it come together. With Troy working on it, it's going to be bad ass.

I know this is not really the appropriate place to ask this question but i am going to anyway.
Is this going to be a Full no Rad Rides Build?
what is the time frame for the completed project
how is the invoicing structured
how do they "Estimate" the cost or do they even ask?

the reason i ask ( and if you want to respond in a PM ) is we also build these types of cars and i am very curious as to how different shops handle these things

[notorious1970]

so whatever happened to the original Nova

Its still down there at the shop I believe.

killer69- I dont really know the answers to your questions. This is my fathers car and so hes taking care of that stuff on his own.

All I know is... it is going to be one nasty street car!
