Thanks Guys for the kind compliments! I've had that Nova kit for years, I Love those cars but it seems they're always either a Race Car or a Pro street car (Both of which I like!) I just thought I'd try the roadster look. When I first did it I hated it but when I re-did the doorlines, I thought that made it a lot better. I'm still not in love with the cowl hood but I had to do that because the cowl area looked a mile wide after I grafted the interior in. fortunately, the rear overhang of the scoop hides a lot of that width in the cowl. I guess that's called engineering by mistake!
Dirk, the paint is HOK Candy Red over duplicolor copper metalspecks straight from the spray can.
Raul, the engine is still in the box! it's a curbside with a homemade floorpan, I couldn't get the chassis to work because of the interior depth. (This is really just a slackers excuse to allow Me to move on to something else !) As the saying goes:
"Too many models,too little time!"
Thanks again guys!
