As per the reports of Motortrend, it was Steve Strope who helped Rogan build the car of his dreams. When the UFC commentator contacted Strope with this dream in mind, he asked the ex-Fear Factor host to check his newly built Nova Z/28, which he built for a customer. That was the very step first Rogan took to build the 1969 Chevrolet Nova. The 55-year-old helped Strope bring his ideas into reality by boosting him up. Nonetheless, it was not an easy job for either of them.

Steve boarded illustrators Tavis Highlander and Eric Brockmeyer to produce some conceptual drawings. The 55-year-old loved the whole idea, and he so badly wanted to bring each and every idea into reality.
