Thank you for allowing us to feature your sickkkkkk BostedNova!! Your all star team, Rob, Ricardo, Jason and many others, executed their talents perfectly 🙏 Congrats Ken, dreams do come true!! 🍻
CJ the question is what can you offer a brand ? Sales, Visibility? Also create some rendering of your ride. Go to shows and meet the brands you are looking to connect with. Gotta make it a 2 way street. Both parties need to benefit.
Man I am so stoked that Boosted finally got a spot on the best You Tube car channel out there! Thanks Ken and Sean for including me. I am honored to have a small part in the creation of Ken's vision.
Thanks to you and your incredible team! Everytime I go in the garage i SMH and think. Is this Real ? 😂. Thanks for making it down for the EP. You are so knowledgeable. I learn something new everytime I’m around you.
You and your team did killer work on this car. Your insistence on crediting them speaks volumes about your leadership. Keep that going and please pass my kudos to the team. I'll know where to go if I decide to outsource fabrication work on my Nova!
I’m honored to have been involved in the build of this badass car. Not only was it fun working with all my friends at RJ Fab, it was also special to do it for one of the most generous, coolest guys in the hobby, Ken Johnson. Thanks for all times you bought pizza and Subway and made phone calls late in the night and parts magically showed up the next day. Count me in on your next build!
This is so cool!!! When everyone involved is so good, you know the car is going to be over the top! The SOUND of this car is just as good as the looks - just BADASS!!! Great job as usual Shawn and congratulations Ken!!!
Raise people's tides - I like that quote. Been great watching this come together over the last few years. Lots of talent poured into it and the result is phenomenal. Look forward to connecting in person some time 👍
Truly amazing attention to detail on this beautiful Nova. Incredible inspiration for us, little guys building cars in our backyards to see what is possible is an amazing blessing. Keeping the dreams alive, people. Get out there and build your dreams.
@Ken Johnson thanks brother 🙏. We have a 72 chevelle 62 Impala 79 trans am Y84 k code car. Sitting in our backyard that we will bring back to Making memories and dreams. Every step forward is progress, and we even made a UA-cam channel to show our grandchildren how far these cars have come. One day, they will be there's.
@@Itsjustken Great car, love the fact you dont need rpm to compress those seat foams...but can if you want. Nice tasty interior. Id def consider some padding for those side bars up top.
@@dennisonbrower7680 Stunning Deep Gray, Sorry mate, missed name as well go through the transcript I'm sure they mentioned it. Truly stunning paint job hay. Be sure to use BASF as it's the brand to use
Not a ton of 3rd gens built like this. Mainly Pro Street type. We wanted to go a different direction. Glad you like it and appreciate all the great comments 🙏🏽🙏🏽
So glad to finally see Boosted on AutotopiaLA! Congrats Ken and kudos to the entire A team involved in the build. A great bunch of dudes for sure and it shows in the final product. Amazing car
So much work on this nova man I wish I could have the skills these fellas got super freaking clean ride and man you punch the gas no doubt people are going to gtfo of the way lol 😂 this thing just increases Sunday church services lol
Awesome build. The team of masters couldn't be better. I always love the regular guy builds cus I'm just a regular guy, but when you get a group of masters on one build and they work well together you can't deny the outcome .
Miss my '72 Nova. Was my 1st car @ 15. Was my grandmother's car from new until she died in '88. My sister drove it to senior yr HS then to 2 yrs of college and banged it up. Being broke 15\16 yr old I used auto body shop classes at local HS nearby and redid the body, replaced the motor and trans along with most of interior. Friends who had left over Nova parts, local junkyards with Chevy muscle cars, and lots of own hand work got it looking decent ready for paint in gray primer and black painted hood & trunk. Motor was weak. Trans was an insanely built th350 by a friend's older brother @ Benchmark Transmissions. Chirped third d gear @ 70moh. Laid patches hitting 2 and gear. Was all transmission as motor was built cheap by a couple of hacks a speed shop recommended (never again speed shops). The setup on this '71 Nova is how I wanted mine pretty much. Just different color paints and wanted to keep most chrome. Love seeing nicely done Novas that aren't hidden basket cases with fake SS badges in every panel and all over the interiors. Same w/Chevelles. Rock what you got proudly. Stop with the SS, COPO, and YE KO garbage builds. Do people actually drive them? Take them to car shows and act like they got 1 of 69 specially built cars? With single rear leaf springs and a tach bolted to the dash, lol.
What an awesome build! I don't think there's a single thing you could change on the car that would make it better imo. They got everything so right on this one
Masterpiece. Everyone has an opinion, here is mine plus constructive reasoning. I love the electronic dashboards... hidden away for quick tuning in a glovebox or center console, or fold out faux radio....(hint hint). But I like my real gauges in the dash. The only "tech" thing I'd want in my dash is a Gear Gauge with a sequential, or a "Shift Bar" nicely hidden in a spot that is clear to see when it does begin to illuminate.
Good stuff you guys are super positive. Thank you for being so inspirational and by the way the car is bad a**. I'm building one myself a Nova. God bless
GREAT video Sean! BAD ASS car! Plus everyone, you, the owner, all his friends just seem so damn cool. You truly put out some great content and are a great host! Love the videos dude. That thing is so awesome. I love how you treat every car owner the exact same. Some guy that can't afford all of the top notch stuff and does it himself compared to guys that have dumped a TON of money into them. They are always going to be a work in progress. Love the channel.
Ryan. I've had the pleasure of knowing Shawn, Chris, and Paul (ATLA founders) for over 5 years and have been on multiple shoots with them. Your words ring true. They treat everyone equally and make the garage builder to the billionaire feel like Rockstars! These guys are going places!
@@Itsjustken not sure what’s available where you are Ken but any race car supply shop like Summit Racing etc would be a good place to start and any half decent trimmer could whip up some sleeves/covers for it. Please give it some serious thought, those roof bars will win against a human skull 10 times out of 10.
Thanks AutotopiaLa for getting us on your channel! So many brands helped get us to this point. Hope you all enjoy!
Been a long time coming brother! Some great partners on this build
Thank you for allowing us to feature your sickkkkkk BostedNova!! Your all star team, Rob, Ricardo, Jason and many others, executed their talents perfectly 🙏 Congrats Ken, dreams do come true!! 🍻
🖤
I’ve been trying to find some companies to help me along with my 74 nova. Do you have any companies you think that would help me by any chance?
CJ the question is what can you offer a brand ? Sales, Visibility?
Also create some rendering of your ride. Go to shows and meet the brands you are looking to connect with.
Gotta make it a 2 way street. Both parties need to benefit.
I Love Chevy Chevelle‘s Camaros and other Chevys but glad to see nova’s getting there respect that they deserve!
I'm in the same boat. We wanted to be a little different. Appreciate the great words.
@@Itsjustken no problem keep up the Great Work!
Man I am so stoked that Boosted finally got a spot on the best You Tube car channel out there! Thanks Ken and Sean for including me. I am honored to have a small part in the creation of Ken's vision.

Incredibly thankful to have had a small part in this build. I’m so happy seeing Ken tear up the roads and get some miles on that beast of a nova.
Ha ha Nick you were one of the major guys to bring the Boosted Nova to the finish line. Your fabrication / metal work it’s top level. Thank you 🙏🏽

Hope to meet you at the shows. Thanks for the comment!
Novas are my absolute favorite cars and this one is by far one of the most badass ones I’ve seen to date.
Thank you for the good words. Lots of renderings, planning, money, time, great people and brands made it possible.
Got a 71 rally! Your car is really an inspiration!! Great work of the team 👌
Appreciate it my NovaBro
By far one of the best Novas on the road
Appreciate you 🤙🏽

I love the team Ken pulled together to bring this car to life. They did an amazing job
@@AutotopiaLA I truly agree. With all they have done its inspiring. Makes me dream for the wife and I projects.
@@rescuedandrestoredgarage awesome! I love when our channel inspires builds and the folks building them
Gotta love a Nova that is that well built and has a good amount of umpf at the wheels. 👍
Yes sir !
It’s such an impressive build

Glad you guys went over all the details on the car. Great touches all over the car. Everything rocks on this car.
Rob and Shawn did a deep dive on the Nova. Im just pumped to be the driver/owner! Thanks for the good comment
@@Itsjustken They sure did. 🙌
Cleanest nova ive seen. Perfect driving set up.
Lots of great brands and people that helped get it here. Thank you for watching
Definitely built to drive and looks incredible
Novas are some of my favorite builds. This thing is perfection! I would definitely daily this.
Appreciate the good words. Stoked to own it.
@@Itsjustken Great car, love the fact you dont need rpm to compress those seat foams...but can if you want.
Nice tasty interior. Id def consider some padding for those side bars up top.
That intro was straight beasty.. another great one on the books
We were so stoked to be featured. This channel and crew are amazing.
Definitely a super nova thing is done up perfectly in my opinion. Sounds and looks sick nice job.
Thank you Nick. Can’t believe it’s in my garage. Cheers 🍻
They killed it on this build! Gotta be the coolest Nova around
The build was very well thought out. Sexy ride! ✌
Appreciate it.
I've always been a mid to late 60's Nova guy, before the up-sweep on the rear quarters, but this is hot fire.
One of the best unseen body mods on a car that’s ever been revealed.
Rob and his crew are some of the best out there imo
Boss a Nova Shawn, dam a work of art. Hat's off to the crew. They got there shit together. Thanks again Shawn, what a happening. TCB
Agreed! Thanks to the guys at AutotopiaLA for shining a light on The Nova 🙏🏽
Thank you! The team Ken pulled together are some of the best in the business
That is one wicked sick 71 Nova...daaaymn!
🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you
Thanks so much Sean for showing these badass American car's..I love your channel
Agreed this channel is 👍🏽
Thanks! This was such a great time shooting with our friend Ken
Love that blood red interior. What a beast of a car.
Appreciate it. We went a little edgy but stoked the TMI interior came out looking nice.
Awesome vid of the BoostedNova! Ken is the man and deserves every bit of this. 💯
We are stoked to have the great partnerships. Thanks for checking it out.
Sheweeee. I picked up a 69 four months ago and this is what I want it to look like. Beautiful car
Get it!! Ill be waiting for your episode!
@@Itsjustken when I saw your car. I thought, is this guy in my head because that’s the exact colors I want and stance of the car.
Boosted Nova is perfect!! 🔥🔥🔥
Congratulations Ken!
Great job on the video AutotopiaLa! 👍👍
Heck Yeah Eric! When is yours coming back home. I gotta bring the boys up to shoot it! Shes a beauty
That paint is DEEP
Customs By Lopez x BASF products 💪🏾
Sorry if I missed this in the video, but what’s the name of the color? I’m considering something similar for my ‘64 cutlass.
@@dennisonbrower7680 Stunning Deep Gray,
Sorry mate, missed name as well go through the transcript I'm sure they mentioned it. Truly stunning paint job hay. Be sure to use BASF as it's the brand to use
Hi Dennis. We used BASF product In Anthracite metallic color.
The time and effort put into this build brought this car to the pinnacle of perfection! Took the ‘Oh Shit Face’ to a new level.
Ha Ha Bad Ass! We are super hyped over here 🤙🏽
So much fun to ride with Ken after the long wait. It’s a perfect build imo
You don't see many Novas and this one build is well thought out and well executed, that is one righteous ride.
Not a ton of 3rd gens built like this. Mainly Pro Street type. We wanted to go a different direction. Glad you like it and appreciate all the great comments 🙏🏽🙏🏽
So glad to finally see Boosted on AutotopiaLA! Congrats Ken and kudos to the entire A team involved in the build. A great bunch of dudes for sure and it shows in the final product. Amazing car
Yeah Buddy! Did you get a glimps of the CTEK? The guys at ATLA are bad ass!
@@Itsjustken I did see some cameos and already sent the link to the gang! Great video by the best in the biz! Congrats brotha!
So much work on this nova man I wish I could have the skills these fellas got super freaking clean ride and man you punch the gas no doubt people are going to gtfo of the way lol 😂 this thing just increases Sunday church services lol
Yes sir! So many people behind this build. Years of patience. A dream come true.
Beautiful car. I love the color combo. you can never go wrong with black and grey.
Hope it stands the test of time. Thanks for the good words.
@@Itsjustken - Sorry but black wheels have already become passé. I personally never liked them.
@@danmyers9372 don't be sorry. I love the black rims. Clothes and fashion become passé. Not rims lol.
Danny that’s the beauty of building a Hot Rod you can build it your way. We like the Black wheels. Good luck on building your vision 👊🏾👊🏾😎
Awesome build. The team of masters couldn't be better. I always love the regular guy builds cus I'm just a regular guy, but when you get a group of masters on one build and they work well together you can't deny the outcome .
This is true. I was fortunate to have such great people help make this dream a reality 🙏🏽
Such a beautiful car glad to see it in broad light
100% agree. Thank you 🙏🏽
Badass build!
Such a killer build!!
This nova rocks period.
Thanks for the good words
Rob and his crew always kill it. Sweet ride
This is a True Statement!
Wicked. Indeed the best. Now, imagine a build by RJ and Steve Strope....
Well that would be NXT_LVL
That knife handbrake so sick 🔥
Our buds Brad and Doug DeBerti hooked us up on that. It definitely elevates the Nova 💪🏾. Thanks for checking it out.

Ha ha I don’t think Rob is scared of it. He’s an animal behind the wheel 😂
