hen Joe Masquelier contacted me about drawing up his 1966 Nova project, I could tell that he had a solid vision already in his mind of what the car should be. The elements were all there and Joe was kind enough to let me link them together with some interesting design elements.

We started out by designing a custom hex-pattern grille insert and then moved around to the front fenders. A batch of front wheelwell vents were presented and we settled on a clean-looking carbon element that would be a custom layup. Sheetmetal hood vents, SPA Technique mirrors, and a custom rear spoiler round out the exterior.

Inside the cockpit, we designed a simple dash that center-mounts the Holley digital display. Custom-designed door panels with some carbon elements continue the Spartan but interesting look of the interior.

Armed with a clean-cut design that illustrates his end goals, Joe is ready to unleash Schwartz Performance on the actual build!
