Its probably either the old Good Stuff body or Reliable resins. I don't know of anyone else who made them. Good luck with it. The MPC Don Nicholson Cougar funny car chassis might fit.

You are welcome. I have 2 old Drag Strip magazines with articles on both cars, but my scanner is'nt working. I'll try to get some decent pics of them. Drag Strip Magazine March 1968 has the article on the car you are building. It shows up on ebay from time to time.

These are some pics of Roger Lee's chassis for the longnose Nova ( '66 ) He was kind enough to share them with me for reference for my styrene version. I have read that J Jim built the real chassis himself on his garage floor.

I just ran across this pick on facebook. Maybe it will help with your build.

The 67 Nova originally had a black chassis and was later painted light blue. The main part of the body was steel with fiberglass doors , front end etc. It also had opening doors.The body color was GM Marine Blue. Good luck with the build. You can get the proper front wheels for this car from the Miss Deal funny car kit.

Thats a good one . Thanks , I appreciate it.

Thank you very much. These help a lot.

Thanks , I appreciate that. Look forward to seeing them.

I have some. Thank you very much.

That makes sense. This is my favorite Glidden car. Trying to get it right. thanks.

I'll be starting a build of this car soon. Waiting on a Rickie Smith kit from e-bay. Got the March '83 issue of Popular Hotrodding, some pretty good reference in there. Will be ordering decals from Slixx. My question is this. Does anyone know if the whole chassis is dark blue ? The article says that the roll cage is, I was just wondering about the rest of it. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you. I'll be posting pics of the finished model soon.

The front wheels are from a Revell Chi Town Hustler kit. Kit chrome. Rear wheels are from an AMT Mustang funny car.

I'm not to good with step by step pics, but my Willys is coming along. Got most of the wiring done. Started on the seatbelts. Using the front axle from the Revell kit. Easier to add spindles for the wheels I'm using. Front clip does'nt line up well with the kit hinge , so I'll be making one with brass rod and aluminum tubing. Thanks for looking.

These two paintings are acrylic on canvas.

Thank you my friend. I saw a hinge like that on the Speed City Resins page. I think thats what I'll do. I'm using the front axle from a Miss Deal kit, so I don't have to worry about that. Thanks a lot.

Thanks. Only problem s I've had was getting that Revell transmission to fit under the chassis ( took a lot of grinding ) and the hinge on the front of the body. Think I'll just scratchbuild one.

Thank you. I'll post more pics next week.

Thank you. This is the bluest car I've ever painted LOL

Thanks Nitro Barry. Hope to finish the engine tonight.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Thank you, Misha. Trying to get back into the groove. I'll post some more pics soon.

Been working on this AMT Willys gasser. Using Hemi engine from one of the Revell Willys kits. Got part of the wiring done yesterday. Paint is all three shades of Testors Extreme Lacquers blues. Cleared with Extreme Lacquer wet look clear. Polished with polishing kit. Blended with spray cans , no airbrush .Chassis painted with Tamiya semi-gloss black. Retired now trying to get back into the hobby. Thanks for looking.

Great looking model . Love the paint. Do you have a link for the guy who sells the wire wheels.

I found an article in a back issue of Scale Auto on building Dave Marcus' Monte Carlo. It's helped a lot.
