Thanks everybody.. I appreciate the heck out of it!

The infamous AMT 66 Nova kit... pretty much box stock. Painted Testors One Coat Graphite Grey and covered with Tamiya Clear Red. Thanks for looking! LINK TO WIP

Well, I've finished her up... I've never been good with extensive detailing, so she's a tad lack luster as compared to a lot of other builds. But I can say... after 20+ years, I think she and I have come to an agreement... Here's a cpl pics.. gonna post some in the underglass section. Thanks for following along, the words of encouragement. And as always, Thanks for looking!

it says they're unavailable... that was quick

this is cool... good job!

Thanks guys! The color is Fiery Orange from Testors One Coat stuff. Built the truck curbside and made the bed cover out of a plastic for sale sign..

OMG... I accidentally clicked on this.. THANK GOODNESS I DID!!! This is amazing!

Put this kit together, while I've been working on my Nova... As always, thanks for looking!

This is one of those kits you just can't walk away from, when you're on a roll... cuz if you ever do, you'll put it back in the box and walk away... Anyway, here's a couple mockup pics... Thanks for looking!

I have this one in my stash. I've never started it, cuz I can't figure out what I wanna do with it yet... Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Decided to try my attempt of a candy paint job... After priming the body with Model Masters Grey Primer, wednesday evening I laid down 3 mist coats and a wet coat of Testors One Coat "Graphite Dust".. after letting that dry out, friday morning before work, I covered it with Tamiya Clear Red. Then shot it with Testors Wet Look... Here's what I have this morning... I don't know if I should leave it this way, I try my hand at smoothing it out.. Smoothing out a guitar body, I'm all over that shiz... I don't know about tackling one of my models... As always, thanks for looking!

Thanks Lloyd, I appreciate it... I agree. When finished they can look good.. I typically try to steer clear of AMT's except for a SMALL few.

Thanks Joe.. I have like 4/5 of these kits. And originally was gonna do a build of the '53 gasser kit with this chassis... I decided to wait on that after you started yours, to see how it should be done, instead of my sad attempt lol.

Exactly... I'm hoping I can pull off something that if nothing else resembles a car. I should probably stop now and leave it as a go cart or something.. lol. I don't remember a whole lot of details about the yellow issued one, except for the fact that it pissed me off every time I tried to do something with it... So I'm sure it wasn't much better.

As of today, I had the interior and chassis together... everything is pretty much by the book, except I assembled the front end before I painted anything. And during the assembly, I flipped the spindles upside down to drop the front a tad more.. Here's what I have so far... Here's the engine, shoehorned into the tiny engine compartment... nothing, and I mean nothing, wanted to fit... I cut and cut on everything to the point I thought it was all gonna end of having gaps to big, or not enough material for the glue to bite... but I made it work... Here is the stance overall... Like I said earlier, I flipped the front spindles around so it would sit lower.. I'd like to say I meant to, but honestly I glue'd the first upside down by accident...lol. As always, Thanks for looking...

Decided to start working a kit that had originally built 20 some odd years ago.. I still have the original kit I built... well pieces of it anyway... I remember the kit being a pain in my rump. Nothing fit right, the wheels sit funny as I could never get them straight, and when I did rebuild it once I left the interior completely out of it.. I painted the windows completely black so you couldnt see inside. This kit was a challenge, mentally and physically then... Fast forward 20+ years... the new release of this kit is just as dreadful... horrid amounts of flash, thin plastic, bad fitment issues left and right... but for some idiotic reason, like most others I'm sure, I love this kit... I've been working pretty steady on this kit, this week after work... sanding and removing the flash and some of the mold lines.. getting everything ready to paint and whatnot... not really had time to take a lot of pics as it's went along. I always forget until after I've done something to take any pics, anyway...

Just finished a trade with Vince (vintagedragcrazy) Good guy.. would trade again anytime. Thanks Vince..

No, my friend... not the only one. I just lost out on one on the bay. I can prolly wait on this..

Man, this is looking awesome. That paint job is killer..

That's a good looking Nova there, bud.. Awesome color combo

Good looking stuff here... Definitely like where it's going.

Middle Tennessee my friend... it's terrible here

Got an outside shot before the rain set in...

Wow, this cool! I'll be following along on this.. I'll have to find me one of these kits. I used to have a 78... man I miss that car.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it alot! Joe, The engine comes in the 67 prostreet kit... very nice kit as well.. I am gonna eventually build one of those too.
