62 Parts Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 This is the excellent AMT kit of the 66 Nova that can be built up one of three ways.... as Grumpy's Toy drag car, or a street custom, or just factory stock. I chose the street custom route and modified the engine slightly by using a P/E air cleaner from Parts by Parks. I also wired it up and added fuel and electrical lines. The paint is rattle-can Tamiya Metallic Red over a base coat of Silver Leaf. The interior is Tamiya Semi-Gloss Black, the carpet is flocking from Detail Master. The fantastic tires are pad printed tires from the AMT 68 Camaro kit (which came w/ 2 sets of tires!). I'd love to have one of these bad boys in real life!

62rebel Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 sharp build; did R2 retool for the big block or did you source it from another kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Looks like you have quite a gap at the top of the windshield. Any way you can push that glass up higher so it sits correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Nice work, but the engine in the car is not a 396, but a 327. A very nice 327. Also, don't forget the headlamp lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
