Thanks again guys. Thanks Kelly, It's an AMT kit and should be pretty easy to find.

Man that came out great! I love everything about it. Congrats on a killer build.👍👍

Thanks everyone for all the great comments. Thanks, the kit is fine I'm just not happy with my weathering. My weathering just looks painted on to me, not my best work at all.

My daughter drives an 2002. We originally got it for my son in 2011 when he turned 16. He never drove it, it just sat for about ten years. Then my other daughters boyfriend needed a car so he drove it about 2 months before it quit running. ( I didn't want him driving it anyway) It sat again for years and when my youngest turned 16 last year, she needed a car. I put a starter on it, fuel pump, fixed some bad brake lines and gave it a basic tune up. She's been running it since. It's not a bad little car. Hard to believe it's 23 years old, almost a classic. God I'm old. She complains like the other kids that it doesn't have air conditioning and you have to crank the windows by hand but that's just how spoiled kids are today. They want all the comforts in a first car. I was just happy to have something to get me from point A to point B.

just a few...

Sweet!

I'm not happy with it but it's done

Very cool and well done. I did one a lot like it a while back and called it before & after. It was a 64 Ford Galaxie.

I sell everything I build. The fun for me is building the model. Once it's done so am I, on with the next one. Now, I know I don't "make" money but I do usually get enough to keep me stocked with more kits and supplies. I buy a lot of rebuilders cheap and I'm not spending crazy money on aftermarket and 3d printed stuff. If I can't make it the model doesn't get it. Years ago I sold my Hippie bus for over $500 and just recently a Nova body for $40 on ebay. I normally start them at $19.99 and let'em go. Whatever I get, I get. It's nice to get $100 or 2 out of a model but they can't all be like that. I find building something is (mostly) calming and relaxing so that's worth something to me. Even if I'm not getting paid what the "work" is worth, I'm ok with that.

Finished this Nova body today, A quick 2 day project, now for sale on ebay.

Looking great! I found some more pics of that engine in a car.

Great project, I can't wait to see it come together. This reminds me of the A that I built a while back. I remember you commenting on it. Incase you don't remember, here's some more inspiration pics to check out.
