The Building of a Race Car
Summer 1999, Dan Collins begins to build a car to house his custom built 502 crate motor.


The 502 dyno-ed at 590  horsepower


The Nova was already used as a race car but Dan added a race seat, Travis has since carpeted the inside better.


With fresh cowl hood, the Nova was ready for 10 second passes.
