Maybe Sebring Yellow with a black vinyl top and interior, or Omega Red with white top/interior? Via autocolorlibrary.com:

'65 Nova 327 - Detailed the plug boots with a couple drops of UV resin each, and installed the oil filler tube after cutting a tiny notch in it and adding a tiny piece of photoetch to hold the end of the carb return spring (not connected yet). Obviously not a Guthmiller or a Geary, but a little better than my last effort . Anyone have decals for the 327 labels?

Maybe - although if you want to split hairs, the 4-4-2 was really the muscle car. Hopefully Missing Link will run off some hardtop bodies.

Cuz ev'rybody loves somebody sometime... I imagine it could be kitbashed from the Renwal Revival Stutz and Duesenberg bodies on a stretched '69-72 Pontiac Grand Prix chassis and drivetrain (as the real thing used), if you're brave enough to cut up three rare kits into plastic confetti to do it!

That's the one whose hanger tag described it as very rusty, so they're putting some restoration effort into it - question now is, will the body be restored to stock, or will it stay a topless funny car?

No more than the usual broken box/"Your connection is not private" warnings I always get on Fotki. (Yes, it's due to XP.)

Got all eight plugs wired on the '65 Nova's engine. Lesson learned: Do the distributor first, then run the cables to the plug boots.

Early, early this morning wired all the spark plugs and the coil in the '65 Nova's 327. Now to put the other ends in the distributor correctly, or at least convincingly...

Thus extending a middle finger to the kangaroo. I can hardly wait to see those taillights as they should look.

^^^Oooeee. There's a lot to be said for finding early issues of some kits.

Just rolled back in from the DuPage show with a bunch of small stuff: The '56 Ford vert is complete (rest is in a bag); really wanted it for the dog dish caps but it will go back together nicely once I mold them. As you can see from the Pontiac photo etch set, Okey Spalding was there with Jo-Han stuff. He has resin copies of the '59 Dodge as a transkit for the AMT '58 Plymouth; the wheelbase of the Plymouth has to be stretched about 4" in scale (4mm). Not shown: a cheeep complete-in-a-bag Revell '59 Skyliner as a donor for the PMC '59 Ford wagon body I got last month, and an AMT '59 Ford interior I scored on eBay this morning. Got outbid on a windshield I really needed, however ... Hey, there's a potential thread: "What did you get outbid on today?"

Or good old fashioned lowering blocks between the spring and rear axle. Then there was heating the front coils with a torch until the car sank the desired amount, which was just as safe as it sounds .

Oh dark thirty this morning I got up the nerve to drill out the distributor/coil unit for the '65 Nova and paint it. Please pass the Visine and aspirin .

Oh, is that what it is. (Full disclosure: I have a long-stalled project - a six-wheeled two-seat roadster made from a '62 Dodge - so, something something "glass houses"...)

PMC did a promo: (images via autohobbyheritage.com) I've been hoping to find one of those Dodge trucks in bad shape to pull that Poly V8 engine from; nobody else has done it in scale that I'm aware of.

^^^ That bad, huh?

Right back atcha!

I cleared out my PB account and now have over 4500 images on Flickr. Which now I can't sign in on with XP. Fortunately my dad's machine is on Windows 7 which should be good for a little while.

don't we all

"I need an image for our online ad." "Great! I'll work up a couple layouts and see what you - " "You have three minutes. GO!" "Uh - ooookay."

Very cool indeed; it's got those little 13" four-hole Halibrand wheels you can't get anywhere else. Great for the front of small drag cars like Topolinos, English Fords, Crosleys, etc. Oh - and the Continental's a '60.

That's why he said he couldn't!
