3rd gen Nova with 1st gen Camaro tailights
I stumbled on this Popular Hotrodding article recently and thought this was an interesting redo of the Nova rearend.
What do you think?
'69 Camaro taillights and likely a Camaro bumper & custom rollpan integrated into the back of a '70 Nova. There are a lot of other subtleties incorporated into this car built by Rad Rides by Troy. I'm not a fan of the rest of the car, but you may be interested in the asymetric hood and Camaro style front bumper.
Here is the full article:

I think they did a pretty cool job, and looks to be more aerodynamic as well. Lot of work to do though..
It would be cool if someone made something similar in Fiberglass for the front.

I wish I would have seen that before I redid my car I tried to do a roll pan and a camaro bumper in photoshop while I was redoing mine but could never get it to look right.

Looks sorta like a Canova... or mebbe a Novaro... Novamaro ?
Actually, I like the fit and finish, it's a nice looking ride. The asymmetric cowl is different, but it's obvious someone put a lot of work into putting it together.
