Sometimes a certain invention is called the work of a genius and the same piece of work is viewed as utter madness that is worth nothing by someone else. Perception is indeed everything and that is what drives our tastes. It is no different in the auto world with many classifying both concept designs and weird modifications either works of art r just painful visuals. This one could fall in either one of the categories depending on where you wish to place it!

Steve McHugh is a man with a passion for Nova kit cars, and the white beast we all witnessed is his creation. Obviously it didn’t start out that way: Steve has gone through three different major iterations of the car over the course of ten years. Each time he reworks the car, it gets a little bit wilder. The original version was essentially just a lightly modified version of the kit, with some lower body modifications and grafted-on Cougar headlights.

The second version of the car started to get a bit wackier, with manga-inspired wings sprouting all over the car, aggressive ducting to the rear and slots chopped out of the hood. The interior also got a major upgrade with all kinds of interestingly detailed billet knobs and buttons. It also got a snazzy teal paint job. The third and current iteration went off the deep end, obviously, with all the fiberglass and bondo work going into completely restyled sides, the obvious elimination of the rear body work in favor of a crazy looking under-engine aero tray, and a much-upgraded engine. Impressive work put together in a garage by just one guy!!
