Info: |
Okay,
what really happened was that two auto shop instructors
were sitting around talking one day and thought "Wouldn't
it be cool to contest each other?" Both schools building
similar cars, the challenge was on! BEAT PALY! That
was the inspirational force behind "Project Nova."
But we wanted the car to show our craftsmanship as well
as mechanical know how. The results speak for themselves.
In fact on July 11, 1998 we won the Service Auto Supply
1st Annual Hot Items Car Show in Palo Alto.
