JasonC Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realgone58 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 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.

JasonC Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks for all the compliments! But is there anything that nobody likes or would change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realgone58 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks for all the compliments! But is there anything that nobody likes or would change? Yeah, a spot in one of my cases for it! Perhaps a little blackwash to the wheels, just to give a little depth, but I really think it's perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outragis Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Very nice build, only thing I would change...give it to me so I could put it in my collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantewallace Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Very nice build, I love the color choice and combination. They go together perfectly. Had no idea Rustoleum had that color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 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 !

JasonC Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 I seen guys put hose clamps on these. What are they using? Or are they just painting them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 1017 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I like it. Perfect stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 That color looks right at home on a Nova. I seem to remember seeing a bronze-brown very similar to that in the paint chips. Nice color, and nicely-executed model. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) Thank you once again. I will try some BMF for the clamps, and as for the color, I was browsing around the other day and seen a color close to this for 69.
