MINI NOVA UPDATE - The owner kept the car and is now building a couple more that will be for sale. I will post a vid of the new cars when they are ready.

Only thing that could make this more epic is a midget in a race suit jumping out.

Four cylinders make the best design sense here, well done!

that guy has a gift . he shojld be making millions..

10k really isn't a bad price on this!

He's asking 10 large. I couldn't build it for that! Very sweet ride!

Back in the day one reason i liked Novas is because they were small. Now I'm tripping. Great work.

Get that thing on Jay Leno's Garage

Probably my all time favorite custom fabricated vehicle on KZfaq. That thing looks like way too much fun!

I'd give two thumbs up if I could...great body choice too!

people its built for him his fun his wants his taste his life it's his stop saying bad shit its a awesome lil ride

shut up and take my money!

For years I have been considering swapping either a bike engine like that or an ALH diesel into one of my MX5's. I would love to see how the drivetrain is all mated up in this Mini-Nova.

So awesome!!. I'd be proud to own such a mini beast as this seriously!.. And imagine if they used one of those mini V8's for it, well built to this scale anyway lol. I haven't been disappointed by such builds in quite a long time and wished some of them were put into production because I believe there's a market for them!.

the builder is a good friend of mine and a very good mechanic as you can see. he built a street stock right out os school and it was built with the same perfection.

One of the coolest 'cars' I've seen in a long time!

Would love to see it on the drag strip.

Why don't the big three build these as their economy models? I'd rather have this than a Vauxhall Corsa any day.

I would drive it to work every day, might be good on gas mileage, one of the coolest thing I've seen on KZfaq yet! I love it!

I literally watch this like once a month for the past year

that's just sick. great job man. I've always loved the Nova . now I love the mini Nova more.

the sound is addictive.

So freaking cool. I can see there being a big market for many different mini cars

That is just uber cool!!! You just know that is one hell of a lot of fun!!!

Pretty cool, sounds like an RC car haha

I'd love to see how he set up the driveline. I need this in my life. awesome work

Fantastic! Massive kudos to the builder.

I think a 289 sbc would of grabbed more of my attention if space was the issue. Nice build to say the very least. Thanks for sharing.

Should have put yamaha r1 crossplane engine and straight pipe it so it sound like a v8.

if I had the money I'd buy it. very cool m

It's like one life-sized remote control car...Wow!

Probably the coolest thing I've seen...

I'd definitely buy it if I had the cash. I'd be more interested in the process so I could build one for myself; I think it'd be a cool project. And forgive my ignorance cuz I'm not very familiar with bikes but is that the engine or trans that makes it sound like it has a blower on it? Cuz when he first started it I was like Holy Shit! 😂

Show this to Leno!!!! I'll bet he'd buy it.

What a badass build! Great job to the guy who made it

That's one cool looking mini nova😃👍

Screw my go kart, how much for this beast! Amazing work!

That is Cool! Nicely done.

I love it! I have a 76... just the regular size lol

Was hoping we'd see it next to a full size Nova. Very nice job BTW.

Dang this thing is cool! Friend: "I got a lambo! what u gut boi?" Me: "A handbiult mini nova" Friend: "what?" Me:

When you cant decide whether to get the tiny gas saver or the badass muscle car

With it sounding the way it does, the spoiler needs to be a sissy bar, lol!

Nice job bro!!! That is craftmens ship right there!

I am now restoring one of Arthur Geoffrey's Miniature 1901 Oldsmobile's. I bought it over a year ago supposedly in perfect shape on Craig's List and after much arguments with the former owner saying this and that about the car and how wonderful it was. $7,845.00 later I received a Totally water destroyed mini 1901 Oldsmobile half the size represented in the ads and a Totally destroyed piece of trash. I took the Chassis and have redone it and painted it and rebuilt the Motor and Built a completely new body from scratch and I hope within a few weeks I will have a $15,000.00 Miniature 1901 Oldsmobile running. I know I will never recoup my money so I am contemplating allowing the City of Redding, Ca. to use it as a Patrol vehicle on the Sun Dial Sacramento River Trail to protect the walkers from Molesters and Pan Handlers. That way they will have a car that can maneuver on the trains easy and give seniors a ride back if there cannot make it back. It only weighs 499 pounds and can be maneuvered really easy.

Flatbed driver: “aww look how cute that car is. Nova driver: “hold my beer.”

I'm a Ford guy but I still think this car is amazingly cool great job on the car maybe you'll build a 66 mustang coupe one day :)

That's so dope! Shawn should buy it and make a mini murder!

I would love to see it with a grand national motor in it!!

I'm gonna like and share this video everywhere. The damn thing even sounds like a shrunk down mini Nova. Fucking awesome.

Kinda looks like an early-mid 80s Corolla. But it sure doesnt perform like an early-mid 80s Corolla. Love it!

That thing is freak'n cool!!! Great job.

Why would you ever sell it.

Do you take lungs or kidneys?

very cool build ............... looks like lots of fun !

Duuuuude! This is great! I wouldn't be able to get into it and drive it but damn do I envy the skill and imagination it took to conceive this!

that's fucking insanely awesome wow!!!!!

i dont think there is a concept in this world that people arent into. i think if you can imagine it there is someone out there that is into it

coolest thing I'll see all day

WOW, that is unreal!! If I had the extra money I would buy this in a second!! Good luck with the sale.. Love it!!

how much does it weigh ?

Too cool! What's it titled as?

So awesome, i love how the dude built it out of foam and wood.

Awesome build.

think a datsun from the 70's has a simulair shape

Awesome Job Man!!!!!!!!! Fucking Epic :-)

good job boys! I like your passion.

That's pretty sweet! Looks fun to rip around

This car needs to be on Leno's Garage. (^_^)

yo quiero uno

superb mate well done, if only I had half your skills .....

Absolutely love the car. I like to see unique vehicles like that Nova. Good job.

i can't believe it's not a turbo rotary car!!!!

I'd turbo it. but either way that thing is awesome

Un freaking believable...some people are so damn talented...

It just amazes me how people can just go build this type of stuff

Absolutely amazing. My dad has a 68 this would look awesome beside it.

Just found this last night an yall have a vid of it this morning haha. This thing is badass! So much want!!

Awesome job buddy.... This is bad ass!!!

That Kaw motor sounds great.

Urban hillbilly beautiful build really nice job on the body. nice Craftsman ship 2 thumbs up.

Imagine a small scale foxbody coupe 😊 that would be sick

Bro I've been working on cars my whole life building that is amazing you did some good work there you should be proud of yourself amazing

Imagine a night out drinking and you're on the way home and pass this car on the road. "That's it I'm done! No more for me" 🤣

this is a very cool toy!! looks cool, sounds cool, and doesn't take up half the garage

Incredible! Very impressive build, I’m jealous of your knowledge and skill

More power to these guys here, I can only imagine the amount of money these guys spend on tools, trust me I have few hobbies and it doesn't matter what hobby you have it will be expensive✌

nothing excites me more than a engineering feat, marvellous

Did thought in put a V6 on it instead of a Kawazaki when you was building the car? Nice little beast. Everyones dream as kids a small cool car for ride on the hood with style (it was my dream at those ages haha)

The builder is a genius.

absolutely outrageous!!!!!!!!

This is nuts, I didn't even know this was a thing haha.

pretty cool build...👍👍👍👍

great job man! very nice.. it would be cool to own one...

You are an artist buddy!

that thing is an absolute beast. relent work my friend. badass

Thats a sweet build

You should keep on making cars like that and selling them THAT IS TRULY A PEICE IF ART😀👍🏻

looks great..nice scale car..realy cool to have..good job.

That is really cool! I'll give you a 10+ for creativity, definitely. I think you may have started a trend. BTW, side by side, is it bigger or smaller than a Vega?
