[buickfunnycar.com]

'Back in the day' when i was in school, a 50 series tire was considered low profile. There wasnt anything less than a 50...

I hear you loud and clear Mr Old School...:yes: :thumbsup: :cheers:

[slownova]

im not going to lie, not really what i thought it would be. bad ass car none the less.

[70TWO NOVA]

WOW!! Thats all I have to say!! :thumbsup:

[blowngasr]

wheels, interior,bumper fit, lets hear it for the body work and paint, that parking lot stripe reflects like its painted on the car,to the bodymen and painter.......:hail: :thumbsup: :hail: :thumbsup: :cheers:

[DOOM]

It's perfect!!!:wow: I get what they were going for here! Would you expect anything less from this builder. Way to go Derek.... Also I have my gun ready to fix that Lancer rocker let me know.
Mario

[stepasyd]

VERY NICE!!! :thumbsup:

The car looks amazing, but I think the wheels should've been a 18"-20" combo w/ black centers and polished lips, but that's just my opinion. Other than the wheels, I think the car is amazing, and I love the color!

[notorious1970]

Had an awesome weekend at the show. Met a bunch of guys off of here and everyone was great and had a lot of good things to say about the car. Words dont describe the sounds this car makes. The procharger is just plain nasty! Spent friday evening and sat evening hangin out with the guys from radrides, the ring brothers, Art morrison and a bunch of other great people after the show had closed. This was our first time to columbus and I HIGHLY recommend going next year!

And now....notorious! Finished

The car looks amazing. Congrat's on the top five and I hope you get to drive the heck out of it now. The nova look's as sharp as a razor, Pun intended.

[dodge]

Congrats guys...Is there any video available of the Nova running???I would very much like to hear it if possible:D

sounds good

[slownova]

you know before i didn't really like the car. but now after looking at it and seeing it drive by in the video, it is acctually a really really nice car. :yes:

[Van B]

Car is bad ass for sure. Blower whine is definitely cool, but when you are in front of the car when it is running, what is the clanging noise? I'm sure I know better, but it sounds like something is loose.

[67turbostang]

Man this is one bad ass car!!! I LOVE IT!! It just has this real mean agressive look :thumbsup:

What color is that on the lip of the wheels??

[Blake Foster]

Gotta say the car was wicked, but i have to admit the hour long talk with the owner was even better, we stood in the parking lot of the hotel and shot the shi% and that man is EXACTLY what we as builders dream of having for a customer, hats off to all involved and it was really cool to hear how he kept the whole build from his youngest son for 15 months so he could surprize him with the finished car!!! Very COOL. Rad rides did a wicked job as usual!!

A source tells me he can look out the window and see the Nova at the Rack. Is it getting the suspension dialed in, or trying out some new skinz? He says it's AWESOME looking! Sure looks it by the pictures. It turned out great!

[notorious1970]

He says it's AWESOME looking! Sure looks it by the pictures. It turned out great!

Thanks! yes we are reallly happy with how it turned out. Now time to get everything dialed in. Tune, suspension, audio etc.


Ive had a bunch of PMs regarding the tire and rims sizing on the nova.

front rim 18x8---- 245 40 18 tire size
rear rim 18x10---- 295 45 18 tire size

[wiedemab]

Keep us filled in as you get everything ironed out. Videos would be nice too ;)

Great Car - I'm sure you'll have a blast with it!

Just a guess but it may be the blower belt, they are running a cogged one.

[notorious1970]

Just a guess but it may be the blower belt, they are running a cogged one.

Yes, Its something to do with that. Also some of the noise is coming from the air that escapes between the belts teeth and the gear itself. If you search on youtube for prochargers, many of them make the same noises.

Thanks Marty I'm checking them out.

Lots of good footage on this thing. That 4 cylinder turbo motor in the blowfish really sounds wicked. They are getting this car ready for the salt mid august. Its now running a single turbo cup car motor.

Quoted from the News section of goodguys hot rods about this weekends chicago show. Hope to see some illinois and surrounding people this weekend :thumbsup:



"Harry Daviess, Goodguys VP of Event Operations just called from the Chicagoland Speedway and could barely contain his excitement over this weekend’s 2nd PEAK Chicagoland Nationals. “You should see this place,” Daviess said. “It looks like a major league baseball stadium. The grass is almost neon green. Everything is so clean and ready for Goodguys. This is going to be an awesome weekend.”

The weather is also shaping up to be chamber of commerce perfect. The National Weather Service is calling for sunny skies and high temperatures in the low 80s all the way through Sunday. Last week when hurricane Ike hit the Midwest there was some flooding in the state of Illinois but Daviess reported that the Chicagoland facility was unaffected.

In other event news, the vendor midway has been completely sold out for this weekend and Goodguys swap meet coordinator Jeff Johnson reports that he expects this year’s swap meet to nearly double in size.

Rad Rides by Troy of nearby Monteno, Illinois has confirmed that their latest rad ride – the “Notorious” 1970 Nova will be out getting thrashed on in this weekend’s Street Challenge Autocross. The Autocross is scheduled for 9am to 4pm both Friday and Saturday (with an hour lunch break at noon) and is open to all registered event participants.

Another popular event highlight will be the Saturday evening track cruise which begins at 4pm. Every event participant will have a chance to cruise the hi-banks of Chicagoland Speedway! Pick up your track cruise tickets at event registration. For a complete look at this weekend’s 2nd PEAK Chicagoland Nationals, visit the official event website here: www.chicagolandnats.com"

[Dukeofsho]

Just came back from the show. The Nova is nice (not to take anything away from the Nova) but... The Ringbrothers Camaro might just steal the show. That is one nice car!

Man! I forgot to say I did hear it run :). Sounds like it would suck in small farm animals thru the intake. I swear I felt my pant leg being sucked in when I walked by it....SWEET!!

[Steve1968LS2]

Is this car coming out to SEMA??

I'm dying to see it... and if it is going to be there is it going to run in competition on Saturday?


Man, this car makes me want to go out and buy a Nova.. bad


Very nice! :thumbsup:

[buickfunnycar.com]

That car is so freaking sick...man,I'd love to thrash it!:unibrow:

[svp]

VERY nicely done Nova! :thumbsup:

[notorious1970]

Thanks for the comments. We went both Saturday and Sunday. Show was awesome. Talked to a lot of people showing all the stuff that was done to the car. Nova ran great and went through the autocross and we even took it out on the big oval at chicago speedway.

Picked this up there.
More stuff to come.

Eaton..but im not sure whats going on with the sema deal.

[ironworks]

Tons of companies have been down sizing or just straight pulling out of SEMA this year. Booth space is getting tough this year.

I would be cool to see the car again this year at SEMA, I saw it in Columbus.

WOW

[68RS350]

Car looks AWESOME! I saw it this weekend at the Route 66 Festival in Springfield, IL. Are those wheels just a one off deal with that car? Or do you know if the rest of us can get a set?!

Thanks. The wheels are one off from Billet and I think they are possibly going to sell them. If they get enough demand for them then they will make em for sure.

does your dad officially own this car yet? or does he get the keys once RR has done all its publicity with it...ive just never seen anyone other then Troy or Jared behind the wheel..do they at least let your dad play with it everyone once in awhile lol?

Well he owns it but hasn't driven it yet. Basically we get it once they are done showing the car. With us going into winter its no big deal. Plus it gives them time to iron out any bugs with the car. I myself haven't even been out on the open road with the car yet, actually none of us have (except Jared and Troy).

Summer 09 is the year!

No dyno numbers as of yet.

Hot off the press from today!

Taken from Goodguys site: http://www.good-guys.com/news/newsStory.aspx?newsid=1166

1970 Nova “Notorious” has been selected as the 2008 Goodguys Muscle Machine of the Year presented by Detroit Speed & Engineering. The sinister charcoal and black Nova, built at the Rad Rides by Troy factory has pushed the G machine envelope to the brink. It’s a sinister machine which expertly combines extreme performance with impeccable build quality.

The exterior has been enhanced with one-piece door glass, custom slimmed down bumpers, rocker extensions, a belly pan, custom valences with Camaro driving lights up front, a one off hood, deck lid with integrated spoiler, Camaro taillights and more. All chrome trim has been painted black.

A massive 572-inch big block from GM Performance was mated to an F2 Pro Charger, an MSD “Big Stuff” ignition, custom headers and lots of trick plumbing rumble angrily under the hood. A Bowler Transmission and modified Detroit Speed suspension insure maximum performance. The one-off 18” Billet Specialties wheels are backed by Baer six-piston and fit snugly behind the rear fenders thanks to DSE mini tubs.

The interior is framed by a full roll cage with custom dash, Recaro seats, a Race Pack Instrument panel, one-off billet steering wheel and upholstery by the Recovery Room.

Muscle Machine of the Year Finalists:
Costa Mesa Finalist: Doug Schultz, Maple Valley, WA ’66 Ford Fairlane, Atlanta Finalist: Jerry & Gary Rice, Royston, GA ’69 Camaro, Nashville Finalist: Jim & Tammy Robinson, Indianapolis, IN ’71 Chevy, Kansas Finalist: Larry Treimmel, Hutchinson, KS ’69 Camaro, Chicagoland Finalist: Rad rides Manteno, IL ’70 Nova, Pocono Finalist: George Myrter, Cranberry, PA ’72 Chevelle, Texas Finalist: Rick Love, San Antonio, TX ’70 Camaro, Charlotte Finalist: Brett Hunter, Edina, MO ’70 Cuda

The nova didnt make it out :( Troy and his dad where there though. We went out to dinner with them the monday of sema week over at Cafe Martorano in the rio. I would have loved to see the car at the BASF booth with Ring and Fooses cars. That would have been :thumbsup:

Car looks awesome. I wouldn't expect anything less! :hail: :thumbsup: :woot: :cheers:

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Still happy that I got to work on this one,Also one of the nastiest sounding cars out there

[86Cutlass383SR]

I saw this car at GoodGuys Indy. Pictures CAN NOT do this car justice! So many mods to this car, you could stare at it for hours any still not catch them all.

Awesome car! :thumbsup: :hail:

[notorious1970]

Thanks guys for the comments. I was out at indy with my brothers and talked to a lot of people out there about it. We finally took delivery of the car and are running the supercharger belt at all times and loving it!! You should see a 50+ mph pull in this thing... one word NASTY!

Look for it in popular hotrodding september issue. If your in the chicago burbs and hit any of the local shows, chances are you will see it. :thumbsup:

Wow...the more we see and hear of this car the better.:thumbsup:

What's the minimum level of motor needed to utilize a F2?

[69496]

I know I could find it somewhere but does anyone recall the rear tire size?

[OLDFLM]

295/45/18... works GREAT on the car IMHO!!! :thumbsup:

I like a little more sidewall on a muscle car...

I agree. I have been trying to find a tire size that I like and that just looks perfect.

[69496]

Ok I am looking for this tire and can't find it. Is it the T/A kdw. That's what I see on the sidewall but when I look it up the tread doesn't match and I don't see the 295/45/18 size. Can somebody help me?!!

If I recall correctly, the fronts are KDW's but the rears are a tire that's been discontinued for awhile now...

During the build they said that there were only a handful of those tires left.

[SickSpeedMonte]

Maybe I missed it... but how do you keep the belt on the super charger when its mounted to the core support? Solid motor mounts and solid core support body mounts?

I went with Falken's 615 series... 295/40/18 out back... 27" tall. PERFECT! For the look I wanted anyway...

Troy may have his own brand by then! :cool:

[notorious1970]

A buddy of mine took some footage of us on our way to a car show over the holiday weekend. Put over 100 miles on the car that day! Some new updates to the car are that we are now running mickeys in the rear (still have the bfg's). Also RR added a lower grill under the front bumper for extra cooling, it looks great!

[89 RS]

That new lower grill is awesome. Troy and his crew are unreal, their creativity and ability is just unreal! Probably the baddest Nova I've ever seen.

[417 Motorsports]

Hey guys haven't been around in a while, hope everything is great.

We have been enjoyin the car here and there taking it to car shows and making some vids (as you can see) lol. Getting a lot of street credit for actually driving the beast.


Anyone that's in the Chicagoland area should check out a show we hit up every month starting in May called "supercar saturday"
Heres a link and maybe we'll see you out there!
