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.

A good coincidence?

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.

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!
