Very nice! What's the blue (make/color)?

Very nice, tastefully built. What paint (type/color) did you use to paint the brake booster? I like it!

Finally done. More here (original building thread I had started for it). More pics/details and stupid story. LOL http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/138122-peking-to-paris-69-nova/

Finally Done ! With the challenges of the P2P it’s pretty obvious that not every car could even make it to the end, and that’s what happened with my 69’ Nova… The Nova went strong for ¾ of the journey, then experienced a right/front impact; that caused some serious damage. Committed to at least finish, we used some down time to do “body work” (via hammer, jack & hacksaw), installed a new belt, tie-rod ball joint and “bargained” (more like got ripped off by a guy) for a used battery. We were back up and running. The journey continued feeling like we were driving on railroad tracks at speeds over 50mph. It was obvious the Nova front clip took a bigger hit than we thought. The alignment was so bad the front/right tire was lasting only days and the “new” outer tie-rod was just about shot. Three days later the tie-rod gave it’s final farewell and our journey was over. This model represent the Nova the day it was recovered and brought back to a garage. Naturally a few things have been unloaded (including unexpectedly finding the battery missing). Note: this is the first build in about 7+ year (long story). Comments welcomed.

Nice job. I always like a back story or what was the builders intention was in the final product - very cool idea.

Sweet! Love the color!
