Chuck Most Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Here we have the AMT '63 Chevrolet Nova, fitted with the turbo six from a '95 Toyota Supra, SSR Star Shark wheels and low profile tires from Aoshima, and a tweaked ride height. The paint is Testors Pure Gold. I hit it with a Krylon flat clear that I knew would splotch the paint and give it a weathered look. I found out that the Toyota six requires a bit less fitment work to get into the car than a stock six from a Trumpeter Nova. I really wish Round 2 had gone the extra two or three steps and provided a stock six cylinder for this kit, but it is what it is I guess. At least the provided engine bay is reasonably detailed. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to see how well the '66 Pro Street chassis might work under this body... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hi Chuck, excellent idea for this. Perfect stance. You piqued my interest when you said pro street chassis under that body... I will keep a watchful eye for that build! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for Ranma's thread on his second one. He describes exactly where and how to trim the '66 chassis to fit under the '63 body. I followed his tips and now have a '66 Pro Street chassis sitting under a junk '65 Nova body that I'm working on rehabilitating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larman Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Cool! A Supra motor is a clever swap! You mentioned the pro street chassis, I am in the process of fitting one under my '63 wagon. Seems to be working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I like the unique engine you used and the paint finish really gives it the sleeper look. Great wheels and tires plus the stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Nice build! Looks really cool and the stance is right! That engine looks at home in there! I assume that is a AMT engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
