disconovaman Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Just reporting in Guys, something that I rarely take time to do is reorganize my bench.Today I decided that it was time to regroup and clear my bench and get everything back in order. I don't know how it gets the way it does. I definitely don't have a problem with wrecking the place if I'm trying to find something. Lol! Anyway, when I get all my supplies back on my work bench I'll be taking off on the nova build for all the finishing touches and final assembly.

disconovaman Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 This is an mpc kit from 1977 I've had for about 10 years and today I just broke the seal on this 40 year old brand new nova. I had always planned on building it and I'm glad I waited because I'll be using the Revell 69 nova chassis. The fit is a little tight but with some slight modifications it's gonna work great. I can't wait to start on this project. I'll start a brand new thread when I finish my 1.1 nova I'm working on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I wonder how well that chassis would fit under Amt/Mpc 71,75-77venturas?,the 69'chassis is so better detailed. Edited July 23, 2016 by kelson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconovaman Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 I think It'll fit. It's a good X body sub frame chassis. I'm not into it yet but as far as can tell the firewall and engine compartment may need refigured. And since the MPC is a hatchback, I need to cut the wheelwells out of the revell chassis.

Intmd8r Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Nice! Great effort to recreate the 1:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPink Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Nice 1:1 Nova. I used to not like that body style, but after I got a '78 two-door as a project car, I've come to like the 74+ body styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiches Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I think the shocks that you made for the rear hatch look a lot better than the huge hinges you had originally. Well done replicating your 1:1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
