Best part is the kid in the back and knowing there's another generation of gear heads coming up.
If the damn government doesn't make hotroding illegal . i hate the EPA
@@davidjaime2061 if people keep voting for these democrats weak knee republicans, everything that makes America kick ass will be gone. We will look just like every other country except China. We won't look like China, we will be ruled by China as will the rest of the world when we fall.
Fingers crossed shit doesn't go ALL EV by then...🤞
@@dieseldabz7104 it's going to be tough to supply all those batteries and build a strong enough power grid.
@@Modestmillionaire we're going to have to start Bootleging our own E85 corn whisky
Thank you to everyone commenting, really appreciate the love. This has been a long time build that is finally where I would like it to be. It is definitely built to be a nice driver and not a show car as I want to be out enjoying it as much as I can with the fam.
Love your car. I just bought my dad a 64 chevelle (it’s on my page) as an early bday/Father’s Day gift. He loves the 66 novas too. Couldn’t decide on which body style. We are definitely going to put a LS in it this winter. Enjoy your ride! Take care!
@@hyphy916 thank you and good luck on your build, 64 chevelles are bad ass
I hadn't really considered a Nova before....until I saw THIS 🔥👅😈👍
What is the must have mods/parts for it to be a PRO TOURING? Does changing to Euro or Asia platform won't make it a PRO TOURING?
@@princesssolace4337 better suspension which means no more leaf springs, adjustable shocks, lowered ride height, bigger brakes and wheels, and wider tires if possible. Of course, you do all these mods to match the engine power for better handling. The "pro touring" term is more suitable for American cars from the 60s and 70s...big power without the handling of euro and Asian cars.
The best part was the kids smile in the back seat during the cruise. Next generation of gearhead.
That kid's smile is epic!
A simple but very clean and detailed build. He definitely hit a homerun with the color, stance and wheels.
EVERYTHING about that car is SPOT ON 🔥👅😈👍
The youngster in the back seat 💺 is hooked on horsepower and being pinned in his seat 💺 He loved it! I can tell!
That engine bay is sooo clean!!! Love that color too. He gets even more points for showing up with his kid lol! I roll with my kids everywhere.
This car is perfect
I agree completely 👍 This is set-up is exactly what I'd desire in classic Pro-Touring ride. There's just a couple of issues that set off my OCD 😳 The first being the hood fitment where the hood meets the fenders; seems to be a bulge in the middle. Second is the passenger side molding where the fender meets the door. (Please forgive my OCD, this car is gorgeous 👍)
yes it is!
Yep
Perfect?? Door doesnt line up on passenger side with front fender.Car should be blue..Wavy as the oceon.
In particular the suspension/stance & mini tub elevates this platform so well
What exactly is a mini tub?
@@9aqua_man282 Imagine the widest rear tires on a pro street car. A tub is removing the original rear wheel housing and further into the structure, replacing it with a larger housing for wider wheels/tires. A mini tub is a compromise.
That kid smiling the hole time was great
I love the Nova, it’s the essence of what a car is, three boxes, four wheels, two headlights and a grill.
Damn those wheels and tires are perfect for this car it is not possible to find better looking wheels for this car
This '66 is outstanding! It has everything you need, yet the car is still lean & mean. The exhaust note is great, too. Feel free to move in next door.
There’s nothing I don’t like about this car. A PERFECT mix of new school and old school. That’s a fine line to walk and not everybody can pull it off. I’m in love with the color! Right on man!!
Thank you!!
Anthony smiles everytime he hits the gas. Gotta love it.😂
This is one of my favorite builds on here. Absolutely love it. The color scheme and wheels are perfect. The young man smiling in the back… next gen muscle-lover.
Kid's smile when Dad hits throttle: priceless. Butter video Yo. Sweet ride.
This has to be one of my favorites so far! Fast enough to enjoy it, but tame enough that it's more drivable.
I just bought a 66 nova and im waiting for it to be delivered from out of state. I cant wait to take my son for a ride in it. I bought it for both of us. I love seeing this young man really smile when you open it up. We must do what we can to keep these cars alive for the next generation. Beautiful car and I love the Color.
Perfect blend of old and new, sick wheels and that kids face; haha made my day.
Absolute MINT car! The stance, wheels, clean lines, that suspension, wide awake motor, all just perfect.
I don't say this much on this channel but your car is perfect. Stock interior and exterior with race car parts everywhere else. That's my flavor. I'm also impressed how well those triple 5s are hooking on shock waves. Mad props! Put a six point in it. That's like driving around in a 500 horse tuna can.
That smile says it all,hell yea Dad gettin on..
You don't need big hp to have fun
Most people nowadays can't drive for shit to begin with, nvm a car with horsepower numbers above 400hp at the wheels. Seen way too many cars destroyed or had to fix because some 20's something kid lost control..
@@dieseldabz7104 I have plenty of fun with my truck it makes 387 hp at the crank and 414 ft lbs and when I go to floor it I have a big smile on my face
400+ at the wheel in a sub 3000lb car is big power. We are spoiled by all the 800+HP stuff these days. This car would be a blast.
How could your neighbor hate the sound of that?! That is one clean Nova. Another great video, thanks man!
I LOVE Shorty's Smile Every Time Y'all Sped Along!!! That's What It's ALL About!!
Absolutely love the look of that car..inside and out...so clean...And Anthony’s smile says it all...that’s all of us.
For me this is the Real deal.. Fantastic Classic Looks, with Modern Driveability, plenty of power and sounds Killer. one of the best cars you have had on this year.. for me 10/10
I've owned several Nova's over the years and still do. I love the Willow Green on a 66.
That nova is so clean and perfect. True definition of a resto-mod
Truly perfect as is. Great tile shooting this one
Fantastic Nova ! The father built the car. Shawn built the memory for the boy and viewers. Thanks for letting the boy come along.
He was so fun! Anthony is definitely hooked on hotrods and burnouts!
The Smile of the Son....priceless moment...his loving every moment.
Awesome Nova build even better yet the kid in the backseat smiling ear-to-ear
Anthony is definitely hooked on hotrods
Love this build! Just my style - clean, stockish, well balanced.
Yours is one of my favorite automotive channel on KZhead…consistent, quality content 👏🏼 And this video is no different… the pure joy on the kid’s face is priceless 😆
Thanks and yeah, loved watching his smile light up in the back seat!
Subtle, quality build. Outstanding. Love all the touches u did to it. Little man in the back parlaying. Great job.
The Torino gave me shivers from its cool factor--such an on point muscle car. And then the Nova...ripples of satisfaction charged through me; it was like the accelerator and that kid in the back's face were connected bringing a huge grin every time he tromped on it. Influencing the younger generation with an appreciation for our bygone era stuff is just ultra cool.
Very tasteful build. Not overdone. Love the stock interior.
The gages are cool tool I love that sweeping speedomer
This car is so perfect in so many ways!!! The green is gorgeous, the stock interior is perfect (how these cars should always be kept), just the optimal unbreakable engine, and as you said sweetspot power, gorgeous stance, the wheels somehow a perfect match (although I always prefer period wheels)... The best part is his kid on-board, you ought to do more of that, I believe it's a first, my kid is 17 soon and I wish we shared this passion more (finds bikes dangerous ever since my accident)... Kid was a riot in the back seat 🤘❤️
Absolutely sick build. Just awesome, I love it!!! And the look on the kids face in the back every time he got on the throttle was priceless. 😁🤘
Absolutely Beautiful car still kept a lot of the old school aspects with all the new parts to make it comfortable to drive everyday!
Yeah, perfect restomod imo
Believe it or not i was dreaming about this car since i was in 3rd grade such beautful unique master peace Nova👑 the most beautiful looking & the best name ever in existence to call a huge, shiny Chevvy❤
F*ckers mint👌 Props for keeping it clean and not having NOS bottles in the rear window and twin turbos sticking out of the hood. I really dig it, and that interior...
Love the paint it's like mint chip ice cream. 😋💚 Overall car is mild yet wild! 👍
The smile in the back seat says it all. Love the boxy Nova style. Good workmanship, clean, drive-able and still able to do burnouts and sound knarly. Great to see the next generation so into cars like this. Be safe and stay well.
Great looking car. Watching two generations enjoy a muscle car together is beautiful. Good job dad.
This car is great. I think it would look better on less sporty wheels but it looks great as is as well.
Not really into air ride but that car is beautiful in every way
That engine bay is as cool as the willow green paint, nice work!
This is my favorite car that I've seen on the channel. It works as a muscle car and a low rider.
Omg my dream car sense I was a small kid when I put one of those old model sets together. In my opinion that's the best looking Year of the Nova.
Very nice. Everything about this car is great, but I love the fact that the interior isn't over done. Very simplistic and clean.
Totally agree with you here
Finally my car. I have a 66 with a DZ302. Great looking Chev.
This nova made me start really liking the nova now I want one!!👊👊👊
What a great episode! This Nova has all the right touches! Nothing crazy or obnoxious. Just beautiful and clean! And as others have mentioned seeing the smile on the kids face is priceless! That was pure excitement on his face and having fun riding in a super cool car!!🤘🤘🤘
I need a classic car so bad!!!!
Find one. They’re still out there
I got my classic car. Its a 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 in it with 209,000 and still going strong.
@@CJColvin I would suggest the following - GT40 heads from an explorer - upgrade the valve springs, grab the intake from the explorer as well, a cam swap (B303 or similar) and a free flowing exhaust - you'll be happier - : )
@@goldysgarage189 Will do brother and with some porting and polishing should give the 302 Windsor V8 around 325 HP.
The Most Epic Episode Yet, I Mean The Nova Is Fantastic But The Smile On His Sons Face Makes This Video #1. That Is Pure Love, Fun & Appreciation. Kudos On A Great Build.. I Can't Wait Til I Finish My 72 Chevelle And My 9 Year Old Son Can Have That Same Reaction. Great Episode, Cheers....
Another great car! Stunning.
The smiles say it all. Thanks to you and the crew for all the hard work!
This one was a blast. Especially having Anthony for the ride along
Us Brits appreciate what you guys do over there, sweet ride
You know it will be easy to comment on the cars that are featured on your channel. And don't get me wrong they're all marvelous, but pass on this fist pump 👊🏿 to your cameramen bro because without his expertise the story wouldn't be told so beautifully. Keep up the great work you guys.
Back in 1992, I built an AMT 1/25 scale of pro-touring second gen Nova like this before there was even pro-touring. Since there were no 1/25 scale pro-touring wheels back then, I used the wheels and engine from a 1990 Corvette ZR-1. @#$% I was ahead of my time. Sweet car by the way.
Nova is my personal favourite American muscle car 👍🏴🇱🇷
...So clean.
That kid is having a goodass time in the backseat. Best Part of the video
Hahahaha…just saw the kids face. Classic ear to ear!!!
I've always loved that color and now I know the color, I had an all original 63 chevy that color and it is just right for those cars from the 60s. One of my favorites from your channel, you have a great job and God bless with many more yrs of great content🙏🇺🇸🌏
Future car builder sitting in the back seat. I'll bet he can't wait... 👍
Man this one definitely has my attention, not overdone and has me wanting to get behind the wheel. Super cool car bro !!!
Shes got 3 pedals and an LS3 mine is blown but retry nice car well done Sir,. Mine has something like 925 to the rear wheels !!! Thank you for your Service Sir
The smile on Anthony’s face says it all! Nice freakin car! 👌
The best part of the video is the guys son cracking a smile! ✅🎯💣💥🏆
He was loving it!
Bad ass nova! Love the color and wheel combo with the air ride suspension! 420whp is definitely enough power to have fun in, in a light weight car!
That's a SICK NOVA I LOVE THAT YEAR BODY STYLE
Omg I'm in love !!! I totally know what that kids smile feels like 😂. This is basically the car I've had in my head for 20 years now. Excellent job and even better on the style and taste you put in it. Hit me up of you ever want to sell it .
Thank you!!
I almost expected to see Patina on the car with that color,,,great combo Nice
Shawn I could watch your channel all damn day!! Absolutely love this build in every aspect! Dude’s so humble too, I really respect the hell outta that 👍🏼 I’ve always been in love with the ‘66 Nova, great video!
Could watch and listen to that all day
Another great car, just perfect and the smile on the kid is priceless 😀
The host seems super genuine, dope car man
Thank you. I’m just having fun with my crew showing great builds and cool peeps
Host is the coolest guy and he makes it easy to be in front of the camera..
@@AutotopiaLA and it shows! Much love my man
I love this car. The color is amazing and the engine bay is so clean. Nice job!
Great build for sure
I'm a newer sub to this channel, but I have to admit this channel is by far one of the best of the best car channels on YT. Seriously love this channel, from the details of the review to the beautiful filming and editing. This channel deserves so many more views.
one of my favorite cars ever...congrats to Tony on a super clean build.
we are all that kid in the back seat our whole life...keep smiling young man
Had a '66 hardtop as my first car. Same color too. Very nice!
Outstanding build quality.
Absolutely beautiful. Not that anyone asked but if he swapped those stock manifolds out for longtube headers he would probably pickup 40 plus rear wheel. Longtubes and tune are good for 30 rear wheel on a stock ls3 let alone what he is losing on that cam. But then again he seems perfectly happy with how the car is now
What a badass ride and awesome family. Tony great job brother. Tell little man in the back I said what up 🤜🏽🤜🏽
Sick. Lovely colour and wheel choice. Ain’t no Tesla ever gonna make a kid smile like that
Love this guy and this ride...met him a Quarantine Cruise in HB!
Cool guy and great car
You can see the butterflies in his stomach on his face, he's got that roller coaster laugh on his face and join the heck out of it
What a great looking car! I love the color! Sound is perfect. All smiles from that kid too! Muscle car kid for life now!
Tony is such a great guy and I totally dig his Nova. I meet him last year at QC8 and look forward to hanging out again.
Lil man in the back seat cooling,love your hotrod !!!! ✅✌💯💯💯💯
He definitely loves it
Best nova i have ever seen
Same here
Dope ASF.. bas ass NOVA🤙🏽
This nova is a beauty. Love the color!
What a great car! Anthony's smile just made my whole day.
Awesome Nova the Green is sweet wow very nice Build 👍👍🗽🇺🇸 The Vermonter
I really like 👍🏽 it too. I wish it was Artic White and mine!!
