Wow! Very nice!

Gorgeous builds!

so sweet!!! I think I'm going to have to look at building something like this!

Awesome..... I was looking at some old Popular Hot Rodding mags from the late 60's and was looking at the Turbonique ads thinking how cool it would be to build something similar. Nice work!

Small update...... just been cleaning up the chassis of its flash, lettering and ejector remnants but managed to scratch a trans crossmember and basic motor mounts. I'll go back and try to add a little detail the mounts later, but for now, it gets the '69 Nova 427/4 speed combo mounted in the chassis where I want it. Next up is getting the suspension mounted.

Very Nice!

Amazing build!

The last pic of the P/U is awesome, nice builds!

Thanks Tom! To be honest though, I never did models as kid. I did some modeling in my mid-20's (I'm 45 now), collected several kits but only finished two. This car is only the third one I've ever finished and the second one I've wired the engine on! A little background on me...... I've been a fan of real cars since I was about 12-13. My first car was a '66 Nova 2 door hardtop that I rebuilt the engine myself on and drove in high school. I used to draw cars alot and was pretty good at it. I got into r/c off road racing when I was 21 and got real good at it, good enough to pick up sponsorships to help with my addiction, LOL. I've built real custom cars for years doing all the welding, fabrication and paint work. I just seem to have the ability to pick up on something that I interests me. Modeling interests me because I can build cars that I may otherwise never get to own. Its fun to apply my real world ideas and skills to the plastic fantastic. Having a blast and am honored to hear all the compliments of my work, especially coming from guys on here that have some serious skill! Thank you all!

Thanks!! Yes, wheels and rear tires were from Speed City. The front axle does come in the Roth kit.

Looks nice, cant wait to see more

Nice work!!

I vote for the twin turbo set up as well.... there's plenty of online images of setups that you should be able to put one together that would look great! I know there are some US based companies that offer resin turbos and intercooler sets. Here's a pic of a friend of mines 1:1 '61 Impala Pro Touring car that has a 2000+ horsepower twin turbo Moran Racing engine in it..... This will be similar to how I'm going to do my version of a 1;25 ProTouring '69 Nova.

Wow!

Love it!
