I don't think I have ever seen a Nova done as a lowrider either. It looks sharp, beaautiful paint and very tasteful customizing, not too outrageous but just enough to be different. I also like the way you eliminated the center post between the windows for a true coupe look.

Great job with that Nova. If I think, what style I could build one Chevy Nova, Lowrider wouldn't be first in my mind. But this shows, that Nova Lowrider can look really good. That paintjob is really great, very smooth and Shiny! Great wheel choice, black spokes fit perfectly to the look and really nice interior. I like this one, and that picture before the last one looks amazing, the car is just like 1:1 looking there. I really like it.

Awesome job on this kit. Love the detail.

[Nate]

Amazingly smooth! Great job!

[Draggon]

Whoa, thats slick! I really like the body colored bumpers and wheels. That and the solid black paint takes it out of the normal lowrider realm. I dig it, Luke!

When I read the title I thought it sounded like a weird idea, but after seeing the pics I take it back.

Awesome job.

Would you happen to have any shots of the underside?

[Maindrian Pace]

Beautiful, and the first time I've seen that style Nova as a pillarless hardtop. Looks great to the detail.

Hey Luke,

This thing is beautiful, you did a fantastic job, and your pictures look great. Agree with everyone else, no one expected a Nova as a lowrider, but what you did here looks really cool!! Hope things been going well for you, very glad you posted this for us. Thanks.

That paintjob looks like you could reach into the body panels and pull out a handfull of wet color... Spectacular!!!

very sweet little nova..I think a 3" top chop would give a wicked profile to an already wicked car
