I finished this up today. Minus a side mirror cause I broke it. But i'll find a replacement. I wanted a 70's street strip car. And one that was kind of a different color. Here is the build thread http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74725&st=0&p=938169

For a quick summary,

Revell 69 Nova SS

350 with Accel Ignition, tunnel ram

Paint: Rustoleum Dark Bronze

Int: Krylon Saddle Tan with tan flocking

Very nice! Love the color. What kit are the traction bars from? I ask because I am planning to build one very similar for a friend that used to have one back in the early 80's. His was a '69 SS as well and had yellow traction bars just like your build.

Nice Nova! I think this has always been one of the best looking Novas and your color fits perfectly! Good job with the detailing all over too and I like that wheel and tire combo. Just add Radiator hose clamp(s) and you're ready to fire it up ;) !

I seen guys put hose clamps on these. What are they using? Or are they just painting them on?

I've used a thin strip of BMF to make those clamps. Someone offers those in Photo Etch too, but can't remember who...Detail Master, maybe?

Again, nice Nova!
