Achieving the objectives was a significant challenge. Design requirements dictated many changes from OEM design. These included frame, suspension, new drive-line, brakes, steering, altering wheel base, tire and wheel fitment, and ultimately every system on the car. Concepts and designs with their inherent affect on build time, practicality and cost, were considered for all build components.

Since I had the final and only say in design acceptance, the project got started. The perfectly good Nova, was soon unrecognizable, well past the point of no return. In most viewers eyes, a pile of junk.
