Default Re: Twin Turbo Nova

Rick Dobertin and his wife owned a speed shop in VA when I was in high school and we used to go by the shop all the time to buy parts and check the progress on the Nova. That car was not only a twin turbo, but also was supercharged! The craftmanship of the car was second to none. Rick was way ahead of his time with that car. He built a few other projects including the stainless steel car/boat that was made from a stainless steel tanker truck.

We also used to street race after hours in front of Rick's shop as it was in the middle of an industrial park and the road was very wide and dead straight for a mile. It was a great place before the cops learned about it. Man those were some fun times!
