speedy5963 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 What's good everyone, been a good minute since I've posted on here, work, pool (billiards) league picked up along with everything else and I've had zero bench time in. Bell has been bugging me to help her with her projects, then I came down with Covid which luckily I'm at the tail end of so rather than picking up with some of the older/long term projects I wanted to try and knock something out, for the most part box stock just to get some motivation going and see something get completed. Chose to go with a nice muscle car, love these Nova's and with the kits out there, I believe you can build a pretty nice one with out much modifications. I started cleaning some parts up, getting some of the basics together. The one in the picture is more or less what I'm aiming for, not sure if I'll go with a gold or an orange but as of now I'm thinking something down those lines. Hoping this will be a fun build and get me going again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Nice project. Can't go wrong with a Nova for a little street muscle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy5963 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Got some more clean up and spraying today. Hit a lot of parts with HOK Jet Black. Will act as a good base as well as satin back for some chassis and interior pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy5963 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Thanks for following along guys, really just looking for a fun build out of this, not looking for anything crazy but I think it will make for a nice build, so far I'm still sitting on Gold/Yellow or Orange for color although blue has also crossed my mind. assuming all goes well with some clean up and stuff, the body will get sprayed and cleared tomorrow hopefully! I'm really considering rally wheels, I like 5 spoke mags but I've used those on a number builds, old school Craigers wouldn't be a bad choice either, we'll see.

Pierre_tec Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Wow using hok for interior and chassis! Kind of expensive paint job. Only use it for body but never can go wrong with hok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only use it for body but never can go wrong with hok Good morning, yes I tend to use a lot of HOK and other basecoats for chassis, engine and interior parts. Tend to purchase by the quart so it goes a long ways and with the bases being it is only mixed with reducer, what isn't used does not get wasted. I like to use the snow white pearl on a lot of 60's style custom interiors, gives that pearl white Naugahyde look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
