where did you get the rear wheel hoops? -
Love it! The rear in the 66 Nova is a dana 60 I believe which is why it probably looks large to most people. The were popular for racing because they came in trucks and high performance mopars. Ford actually put 60s in their early pro stock Mavericks/Comets to help make legal weight

‘64 Comet Kit-Bash Question
chris chabre replied to papajohn97's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
so in order to build a very accurate version of dynos 64, youll need parts from both kits. The motor, traction bars, wheels, tires and misc stuff from the fairlane, the chassis from the moebius. in 1:1/reality, the fairlane chassis is different, the 64/65 comets basically being the same car (though there are differences year to year) BUT Dynos cars were set up differently from 64 to 65 as the 64 rear suspension made the car squirrelly to drive (same with the thunderbolts) Im basing my thoughts on my fathers vast information as a 60/70s ford and mercury drag race historian,getting to speak with drivers from back then etc. and owning my 65 Comet for 27 years. If you need any info, let me know and I may be able to point you in the right direction. With all that said, if 100 percent accuracy doesnt matter, Id say go with whatever fits better at your skill/comfort level. -
beautiful work! My father is a 60/early 70s ford and mercury drag race historian, I love those cars
