John Storz was a Nova lover all his life and his younger brother Eric has honored his brother by building this 71 Nova. Glad to see John’s dream continues. Great job Eric!
Joe and his team rebuilt this Nova from the ground up...brand new full frame and suspension...brand new hand built floor from the firewall back to the rear bumper...the tubs ...4 link rear end....
@@RobertLewisHUB Nova's just have that style ....Nova's...Chevelle's and some Camaro's just have that sexy body style ...I think the Nova got done very nicely...Im a '66 Chevelle freak
The reflection of the engine within the engine bay, shows the hours of quality workmanship that must have gone into this build.. Fantastic piece of art mobile..
These cars are literal works of art. That being said, I don't want a car that I'm afraid of scratching the paint, getting too much road grime on, or having to leave it parked on all but perfect days.
I love the steering wheel on the nova. Looks like a classic Chevy steering wheel yet Totally modern and different. Not another billet, or Wooden wheel or one that every car has. Both vehicles are stunning.
Very subtle modernization of the factory wheel. The bodywork was also done in a similar manner. It’s fun spotting all of the minor differences on these full customs.
They’ve been busy with the builds. About 7 are done so far. You probably won’t see them being driven, as there are only approximately 24 scheduled to be built
The Nova looks clean but I would change a few things if it were mine. The stock shaped console should be in the car. You can have like 6 new style digital gauges in that thing. It needs rest bucket seats at least. I would shorten up the engine cover, it looks too long. And the last touch is just for me. Have to put 1973 Pontiac Ventura style tail lights in these 3rd gen Nova's. Those tail lights look so clean to me. = =. 👍🏽
Wheels are a little bling bling for the build. Tight clearance in the back if you’re using all of the 700+ hp from the Mercury Marine 427 cubic inch V8
Customer’s cars. The hardtop Nova has a ton of time and money into it. With the top builders, you almost have to go in with a blank check and no deadline. That’s how Foose does it. You’re looking at $300k+ for a custom build depending on the car’s condition and parts + the initial price of the car. The CF1 Roadsters are brand new carbon fiber bodies and are priced approximately $300-400k, so they look like a good deal. Check out my other Kindig-It videos if you haven’t already: th-cam.com/video/jUCKR6Te8lE/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/l8eEhxvRjxs/w-d-xo.html
in the show they went through a big thing about making it "rear seat delete". I believe they seemed to think there was not enough room for a proper seat but it does kinda look like there is.
Dave irritates me but what’s in his mind and how he transforms into these cars is just incredible . I used to have a 71 with the straight 6, a/c and I couldn’t kill it and boy I tried, bought it for 500 drove the crap out of it and sold it for 500 3 or 4 years later
These “reality” tv shows are awful, but they show us an inside look into what goes into building these masterpieces. Your local mechanic will probably charge you more to watch 😂. Your Nova sounds like a great investment. Back when American made cars were built to last.
I'm very underwhelmed by the choice of wheels on both of these cars. I just feel like flat faced wheels belong on front wheel drive cars. These front wheels on both of these cars are just way too conservative for me. I need to have a lip on my wheels. The rear lips obviously should be larger than the fronts... But, jeez... These wheels are virtually void of them altogether. Other than that, I love everything else about them. I will say though that I like Joe Rogan's nova that pure vision built for him. That one is really one I would have in my own garage if I could
I think the wheels are too modern and don’t fit the look of either the Camaro or Nova. Luckily, wheels are bolt on parts. The 5 spoke wheels on Joe Rogan’s Nova look awesome - clean design and classic, but still modern.
No one was around to discuss the details of the builds, so I improvised. Most people like the music because rock music goes with hot rods. I posted 2 unique vehicle builds where I discussed them with the builders and will do more of that in the future. 625 HORSEPOWER 1949 FORD Body Swapped BMW 335i: th-cam.com/video/ndhDSYNgFiM/w-d-xo.html 1,000+ HP - Triple Turbo 6.7L CUMMINS Diesel SEMA 2022 Build - Killer Creations The Divergent Chevy: th-cam.com/video/RetuYOvA8IQ/w-d-xo.html
Do you prefer more of a duck bill vs the longer spoiler? Looks like this one could be functional. I agree about the rims - too modern for this classic Camaro
Both cars are good looking. The interior colors are gross. What a horrible combination for both cars. If I would have paid to have a car done he would have had to totally redo both of the interiors they're disgusting. Maybe he's going color blind?
The customers approved the builds, so that makes at least 2 people who like it. Besides, when you’re going completely custom, it takes a lot to stand out. I actually thought the color combos worked well in person, but I favor unique cars.

Both are beautiful but the hardtop Nova is just so cool. Both are incredible build quality!
It’s the small details that really make the biggest impact. This is how Chevy should have made the Nova 🚙🦾
Beautiful works of art..!! Kindig it design supreme.!!
Yes, they are stunning and functional works of art 🏎
That Nova is the hardtop that Chevrolet should have built. Looks like a 67' Malibu from the side view. Pure sculpture on wheels, fellas. NICE JOB!
The hard top look is perfect for the later body Nova. Big challenge making this happen and look better than factory
These cars are EXTRA PIMP.. Love Kindigit Designs.. YOU ROCK
Best of the best!
John Storz was a Nova lover all his life and his younger brother Eric has honored his brother by building this 71 Nova. Glad to see John’s dream continues. Great job Eric!
It’s an incredible story and so glad to see the build completed. It’s stunning!
The Paint on the Camaro is off the charts perfection. Well both of these cars are, but that black is unreal.
You could get lost in the paint. I wanted to get lost in it on an open road
@insane Nate I’d expect nothing less than that from you 🤪
@insane Nate I know
Love the music you put with this. The cars rock, too!!
Thank you! I wanted to match the music to the cars.
Love that nova❤❤
It’s so clean 🚙 💯
The Nova was built at Martin Bros. Joe and his team did the metal work. Looks awesome. Hard top
And then Kindig redid the Nova. A lot of man hours into this build, but the hardtop look is so clean.

No B pillars, I've always dreamed of this happening to a nova. Custom window channel and glass.
Hard top Nova! How every Nova should have been built from the factory

They look sinister in black with the hideaway headlights
That music track is $ , cars pretty sweet too.
Thanks man!
The Wheel selections aren't for either car... Polished or Chrome would make it
really stand out.😎😎
I like the Camaros wheels better than the Nova’s, but wouldn’t have gone with either. Camaros look great with 5 spoke wheels.
Sho Bird!!
I have a video on the Ridler Award winning “Sho Bird” -
th-cam.com/video/lTgJ6IGzMOM/w-d-xo.html
Curious what engine that was in the Camaro, dual overhead cam is neat though
It’s a Mercury Racing 4 cam LS based V8 motor with twin throttle bodies. Around 750 hp and a lot of custom work to fit it in the engine bay.
What color is the Nova?
They call it the “Jaded Nova”. No paint code given.
The name of the color on the Nova is called Opalcetic.
@@ericstorz9149
Thank you for the kind response.
Those are badass and I like to see them personally, is there a story of how they were built is it online on tv
The Camaro and Nova were built by Kindig-It Design on their show, ‘Bitchin’ Rides”
I hate to be picky but...the chrome strip on top of the passenger door doesn't line up with the strip on the body.
You’re right; the trim is off centered. That would bug me no matter who built the car.
No rear view mirrors?
Whatever is behind you is losing 😎🏎
Were they for sale or customers cars?! Just wondering the value they have on them! That nova is just silly! So nice. Awesome vid too!

Beautiful. I had a 69 for my first car, it didn't look like that though. 😊
Lucky guy! Back when they were much more affordable
So no back seat for the Nova? Or do you just lay on what’s provided??😂
in the show they went through a big thing about making it "rear seat delete". I believe they seemed to think there was not enough room for a proper seat but it does kinda look like there is.
Yeah, I'm not liking that. Could have easily put 2 small bucket seats back there. Don't need the front seats sliding back that far.
Lay in whats provided. Lol
I do t know what I'm seeing but it lola seat like to me.not saying I'd like to sit there but it isn't a blatant seat delete.
Dave and his team said that they didn’t have enough room for proper rear seats due to the mini tubs.
What ever happened to the flow master exhaust . They sound so much better then Borla
Maybe they changed now that Borla is making fake exhausts for electric vehicles
Dave irritates me but what’s in his mind and how he transforms into these cars is just incredible . I used to have a 71 with the straight 6, a/c and I couldn’t kill it and boy I tried, bought it for 500 drove the crap out of it and sold it for 500 3 or 4 years later

Not a big fan off the Kindig gas filler. Do gas spillage on paint. But they build really nice cars.
Gasoline knows better than to spill on the paint on these cars. That’s how much respect it has for their builds.

Should be adopted as 2025 GM models avialable on special order.
They would have a list out the door
Not feeling the skinnys up front of the Camaro.
I doubt it will be driven hard enough for the driver to notice. Too much money into the builds.
How much do the kin-digit mechanics earn per hour?
I have read that they are paid six figure salaries per year based on experience. Thinking about applying?
Hard to watch this muted , thinking that I might miss someone giving details about the car, but that music sucks.

I absolutely despise oversized clown shoes on old muscle cars. Seems to be all the rage these days. Ruins them.
Totally agree. Less rim with more tire on cars of this era, for sure. Great looking cars, though. The interiors on both are absolutely amazing.
Yes that’s the look, especially because cars this beautiful and expensive will not be driven hard.
The interiors are a perfect contrast. They were built from scratch by true craftsmen.
i don't like when they lay that back spoiler down and those rims on the camaro UH UH ...
Do you prefer more of a duck bill vs the longer spoiler? Looks like this one could be functional. I agree about the rims - too modern for this classic Camaro
Trailer queens. That's a lot of cash for a car that can't be driven.
I never understood it. I want to drive all of my vehicles and if they’re not being driven, they’re gone.
Incorrect in regards to my Nova. It will be driven often.
7 Months to build and about $500k ... FYI
Cheap, good, and fast. Pick 2 🤑
Always loved the 67 Nova hardtop 69 is always better
69 always wins
The difference between legit SEMA cars and the bullshit SEMA cars that the 20 year old TH-camrs lose their minds over.
AND these were outside! The only thing better would be to drive them
