I ran a Nova for 2 seasons, mainly at Islip Speedway. The division was loaded with them. I ran the car with a big and a small block engine.

There is an alternate resin body for it I've seen on eBay. A post body IIRC. I think it's the vendor who sells the Freemont Racing items.

I have gotten a few calls this year so far. Now that open enrollment is supposedly over... maybe they gave up on me? I must be on someone's 💩 list by now.

I've had/have more BACK IN THE BOX!! projects than I like to admit. But time has been good with some of those hidden gems. Better products emerge, my skills improve and I might see something that kick starts the project again.

Thanks! I shot the forks with Duplicolor chrome paint. I might try the Revell spray over that. One of the engines I separated the cylinder barrels which made them easier to detail.

I tell them that I am 33 and still working every day! I used to work on my repertoire of swear words with them, insult their heritage and make nasty inferences about their sisters and barnyard animals.

Too bad all the surgery will be covered up at the end. Maybe start a book to go with it, if you go to contests?

I dug these out as I'm moving my model area in the house. I started them 3 or 4 years back. Since then, things like the chrome spray and AK pens have come out. I'm getting close to doing the control cables and other fun stuff.

If someone runs at your car... put your helmet back on and let them punch it.

Exception work! What scale is that? I have a couple of 1:12 scale Revell choppers in the works. I have yet to find anyone making accessories for them.

A lot goes in during a race that I had missed. And if someone comes up to your car as you exit the track... they are not there to tell you what a great race you just ran.

After a race, we would walk around the car and tried to identify who I was trading paint with.

Those abomination headers were something that Junior Johnson tried for a very short while... then abandoned them. But we are stuck with them. Where are the JR headers sold? I'm good for a few sets of them

Scuff it up with something like a 3200 grit, wet. Knock the fuzzies and fly turds off. Then hit it with TS-13 clear.

I like the Slo-Gap CA glue. It gives more time to position parts. Pinning is a great method. Join the 2 sections with styrene bar where it will be hidden and not in the way. Fill the pin holes later. I use those Suisse fingernail wraps, it makes the spliced area very strong. Soak it with thin CA glue after it is placed. It has adhesive on 1 side.
