eviltwincustoms Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Ok, so just to make sure, this build consists of the 69 Revell Nova kit, the Revell Chi-town Hustler and the 55 Chevy Pro Sportsman kits? Man... $60 just in Kits... how many of these kits do you have laying around? I take it then for the Motor you are using the Ross Gibson Sonny's Mountain Thunder motor or one of the Semi Hemi's all to the hilt with NOS then?

tyrone Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Bart. this build only consists of 2 kits, the 55 pro sportsman, and the yenko nova, the rear wheels on this one are from the olds cutlass prostock reissue, the front wheels are pro track wheels, these are just being used for mock ups right now.. not sure on what wheels I'm gonna go with yet.. and I'm gonna use the kit engine but I'll dress it all up, and throw some pro tech demons on it... Well one door skin down one to go.... Edited February 22, 2012 by tyrone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Tyrone... man this build is off the charts. I sure have missed alot here. You sure have all of these pro mods down that for sure. I need to take notes for when I do my 1/16th scale pro mod build. I do have to ask you where did you get the front rims. they look like they are aluminum and look great too. Keep up the awesome work on this and I look forward to your next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrone Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 alright fellas I've been working on the body mostly. I've got the door panels finished up, I added the moldings for the vinyl top, and I made a cowl hood from sheet styrene and fitted the hood scoop from flashpoint, thanks for looking and comments welcome....

crazyjim Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 ######. Looking good. Would that scoop setup be legal in real racing? I don't think you could see the right front fender of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowe-t Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Tyrone, this is such a nice clean build. Everything is fitting together like it was manufactured that way. Any ideas on the body color yet? Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragracer Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The Novas looking good Tyrone,the vinyl top moldings look good. To crazyjim, yes that scoop would be legal, alot of the pro-mods are runnibg scoops that match-up with the roofline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
