  1. Welcome to the fray Harald.
  2. Welcome back George.
  3. Very well done! I love it!
  4. Awesome work! That's the first time I've seen that top from the kit used and you did it justice. I have that kit I bought partially built. While not exactly a glue bomb, it has some issues. I've had it several years but seeing yours brings the itch to get it done.
  5. Nicely done!
  6. Killer!
  7. Nice work on a very ambitious project! I love the woodgrain inlays.
  8. Looks like a nice project!
  9. Very nicely done!
  10. Nice pair!
  11. So, with what's been proposed, will there be a poll or will you decide?
  12. Very cool!
  13. Really wild! Well done!
  14. Very nice! Love the color combo.
  15. Really well done weathering.
  16. A lot of guys will poo poo using Shapeways but I love Ron Olsen's parts. You could go with this LSx which comes with everything you need except a carb. With the processing fee they've added and shipping it comes to $26.85. About your standard kit price, and you can't bet better detail.
  17. Ditto most of the other comments. Thanks for the great work in giving us a place to share our ideas and builds, and on occasion do some complaining.
  18. Some guys make it look easy. Excellent work.
  19. Well, the good thing about using Fireball tires is that they give the dimensions. Check the stock tire size and compare them with the listed dimensions. Back in the day I ran L60's on the rear of my 70 Chevelle and they barely fit, and that's with banging out the inner lip, so on a Nova that might be a stretch as they are a tall tire, at least on a 1:1. When we were rodding we never used anything but 15's. Novas, Malibus, Chevelles, we had them all and used 15's on every one. I say mock up the chassis onto the body and measure how wide a tire you can fit in the wheel well, being sure to leave room in the front so it looks like the wheel would turn then go for it.
  20. That depends on the scale you're working in, and where you plan to get your engine from, and how much detail you want on it. Personally, since its a custom I'd go with a big block from the AMT 70 Chevelle kit. It even has a custom fuel injection setup. You could also dress up the engine of the kit you are using. I recommend that you provide more info with this request.
  21. Doesn't have the runner separation but a nice manifold. https://www.shapeways.com/product/32G5KNEWE/sbc-1-25-victor-jr-intake?optionId=63611083&li=shops
