All four are beautiful! Your paint work is amazing, but I have to say that green is my favorite of the bunch.

I’m pretty sure that came out again. So much better with vintage horsepower.

interior was done up out of the box using krylon off white and testors matt rubber. steering wheel still to do. instrument cluster was sprayed with testors dull coat.

Hey, go right ahead Jim. I used your magnet idea so it’s only fair.😊

thanks Ace! they do work well together.

thanks Craig! it is being built to my taste in old street rods.

I can't get over this little Detroit, it's fantastic for the scale and the fact that it's a snapper! If only ERTL had been involved with these kits longer we might have had some great 1/32 stuff and I could have a life!

😆😁So am I!

Very interesting car. May not be my cup of tea as you say but it is your cup of tea. That is all that maters. The fins are cool and a nice touch. When looking at a good custom like this you can always get more ideas for your own projects.

Very nice! I’m very interested to see what you do with this. Ben

The Titan kit shouldn't be any different from the Astro Kit and that I found wasn't too tricky! Maybe the typical amt bugs like bent chassis rails or so but yours Looks pretty strait. Have fun! 😊

The aged and dirtied engine looks cool. Can't wait to see how the rest develops! 👍

I would have thought that if anyone had made them, it would have been Keith Marks, but I didn't see it listed on his Fotki album. The only Formula decals I see for around that year is the black stripes along the bottom of the car. I don't know of anyone else doing factory stock type decals. You might try contacting Keith Marks and see if it is something he might be planning to do. Steve A.

I sent you a PM a few days ago about maybe helping out with the decal problem. If I can help out, just let me know. Steve A.

Started adding the bare metal foil trim. I decided to add the chrome trim on the sides, not to many Nova’s had that I think it looks cool

I have one in my stash too. This has got to be the most stashed model on the market. Kudos to you for building it Pat, you did a great job!

I've heard of two-doors and four-doors, even occasionally a "five-door," but this is the first time I've ever seen a "No-doors!"

Thank you!

Yes, but they very often provide extensive training and practice for paramedics!

Thanks Pierre Rivard. David, I know nothing of any RC Cars. I had one of the first Tamiya Beetle Sand Scorchers about 35 years ago, but the batteries were so lacking in power for more than 15 minutes I got rid of it!

Beauty. Mark

Brother can you spare a dime? Was not a phrase that a drug addict would ask but rather one that a down on their luck individual would ask.

Beautiful, great work.

Right about now, the funks..... oh, brother......

Generally yes. The particular epoxy that I use can sit for at least 5 minutes before it begins to tack up. Depending on the particular assembly that needs to be performed, I’ll either apply the glue and then immediately mate the parts if it’s a pretty secure connection, followed by a check after about 10 minutes to be certain that the positioning is correct, or else I’ll mix the glue, apply it to one of the surfaces to be mated, and then let it sit for 5 minutes or so, after which I’ll check for tackiness. If the glue is sufficiently tacky to hold the part securely in position without sliding around, then I’ll assemble the parts, and again, return probably ten minutes later to verify that it’s still in position. I’ll usually continue to make periodic positioning checks until the remaining glue on the mixing card is completely hardened, which probably takes about 15 or 20 minutes. Steve
