Guest Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thank you Bob... I got the straight six from the italeri 64 Nova kit. Beautiful. Do you mean a Trumpeters 63 Nova? As far as I know Italeri did not do a 64 Nova. Also, your marker light decal says 307. The 6 is a 250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I could not find decals with the 250 marker, so I just used the ones that the kit came with. Edited August 20, 2014 by TheCat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Now that's what I'm talking about! A true replica stock build, really nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Well done and very nostalgic. This is how they were for the first several years. I don't recall seeing them rodded out on the street until they became more affordable to the average driveway car guy a few years later. That six makes it ring true.

TheCat Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Thank you everyone for the very kind comments. This was one build I wanted to complete a year or so ago but other builds got in the way. I'm very happy on the way it came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCat Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Here's a screenshot of the bottom of the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Felix, it is an outstanding job. Nice touch with those brake lines. You might be able to find or make a 250 decal for the front marker light. Most years the six emblem doesn't exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
