tjones87 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) I had planned on waiting till 2013 to start a new build, but was bored today, so went ahead and cracked open 2 kits. I will be building the new Revell 69 Nova SS kit, but will be installing the big block chevy from the 67 Chevelle Pro Street kit, instead of the little small block. I am also using the intake, carb, distributor and valve covers from a 70 1/2 Baldwin Motion Camaro pro shop kit. I go the engine built this evening...and will be doing more either this evening (12/24) or tomorrow evening. I plan on painting the Nova white with red interior...haven't seen many 1:1 cars with this combo...but you guys know how things tend to change lol..here is what i got so far... this is also the first engine that I recall to have a separate fuel pump....was the hardest thing to attach lol as always..comments and suggestions welcome .

diymirage Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 sounds like a real nice colour combo planning on adding some red stripes or other small accents to the body ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjones87 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I had thought about some red Yenko stripes, but can't find any...so might just go with red stripes on hood and trunk lid....still unsure..will see what it looks like solid white first....I also deleted the vent window...gives it a factory custom look. Will get more pics as soon as possible...thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjones87 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 I got a mock up of how the engine fits...I could almost use the flat hood, but cant lower engine anymore. So I will be using the cowl hood. In the pics the engine is a little crooked (had an engine mount slip on me...but is taken care of now....Also removed the vent window posts after pics were taken...Will probably use the lift blocks to raise rear end a little more than stock....but unsure....more to come soon...thanks and as always, comments and suggestions are welcome.. If anyone knows a good plce to get pics of a white w/ red interior nova..let me know...I cant seem to find any decent pics.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjones87 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Will have to find me some black ones lol...Still debating on making it a Yenko clone or not. if I do then i want it to be darker red to match the interior...but...will see when i get farther along I guess...may just tape out my own design and paint it.....

tjones87 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Yeah those are pretty cool....could you do Nova 454 on sides and hood part just solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjones87 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 diymirage -- that looks a bit lighter than what I had planned on...but it could just be my monitor....the interior is going to be a blood red, but can probably match whatever decals I use.

diymirage Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 no worries man ill darken it up a bit hows this colour ? Eric, what other decals you have one there ? any cool mopar stuff ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjones87 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 I think that's about the color of the interior paint....looks good to me....if you can do a set that color, with solid hood decal and Nova 454 on side stripes I'd be happy lol....let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 not a problem you think the camaro stripes would fit ? (would be a whole lot easier then adding the camaro hood to the nova decals and getting the scale right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjones87 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 I think I can just use the nova side decals and the camaro hood decal...but not 100% sure...they look to be the same thing...I know the hood decals are a little different, but mainly cause of the hood shapes...with me using the cowl hood on the nova...the camaro hood decals should fit fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
