carchub Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Very nice, I'm glad to see a nova that isn't tubbed out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Nice! Is that Testors Hugger Orange? I bought a can of it and have plans to do pretty much what you did with my COPO. I hope it comes out near as nice as yours. Edited September 7, 2012 by rmvw guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outragis Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I didn't think the COPO cars wore the SS badges? Great build by the way, I have 3 yenko's and 2 copo's to build yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonekrosha Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 My I miss my 69 Nova. It didn't have a big motor but it was a nice one. I keep seeing these cars and the fabulous builds you guys do. I've got to get one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realgone58 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Awesome! Do the redlines and dogdishes come in this kit?? I want to do one just like this with a straight six in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Drivers of "sleepers" are pink slip keepers! The unwary may not notice that 427 fender badge till it's too late! Nice subtle build. What did you use for the hard lines? What did you use to bend them like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevekouw Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 I don't believe the Copo wore the SS badges either, but I was saving the other grill and rear panel for another project so I opted for the SS pieces. This kit does come with the dog dish caps and Red line decals which turned out really nice IMO. For the brake/fuel lines I used 28 gauge craft wire which is metal and easy to bend and retain its shape. I used small needle nose and tweezers for the bends.
