Really nice looking build Bob.

On the subject of a pay to play thing. In the photography forum I am a member of they have different tiers of support, the more you pay the more access and things you can do. Like for a certain amount you are allowed a certain amount of uploads of photos. There is also a post count tier that allows so many photos for a certain amount of posts, the more post, the more photos allowed. But the support is not mandatory, you can still post, read post, etc. but you are limited to what you can do. A certain amount of support, money or post count will allow you a certain amount of uploads. If you reach your upload limit you have to delete photos to upload more. But if you are a big supporter, money and posts, you can get unlimited uploads. Hope that makes sense.

I used the frame from the 66 Nova Pro Street, it is already tubbed. Had to do a little trimming to the wheel wells to get the big tires to fit.

Thanks. I think I have one I can use, just have to find it.

Done. Didn't come out quite like I wanted, but it's ok.

Bashed up a 66 Nova pro street with a 69 Nova Yenko. Had to do some work to make things fit, still didn't come out too good. But it's ok. Paint is Testors Gloss Blue cut 50/50 with generic lacquer thinner. All comments welcome. Thanks for looking. Tying to find a Georgia tag for it, think maybe I got one in my parts box.

I have one of the older dremels that has the removeable battery. The trick is to only charge the battery about half way, this makes it run much slower and not melt the plastic. -
I'm thinking I will probably leave them off since it's really not a Yenko anymore.

Got the paint on. Testors Gloss Blue enamel cut with generic lacquer thinner. Can't do much for the heat here, it's 95 in my shed where my bench is located and no AC.

The ankle burner headers do have a connection point for the muffler system. It was kind of finicky but worked. I would assume on the real thing the end cap on the headers is solid and have to be removed to uncap the headers. The seam is not too visible, so I just left it alone. The color is a 50/50 mix of Tamiya green and Tamiya silver, cut with some generic lacquer thinner.

Looking good Jim. My Ollie's had a bunch of these. I got one and built it a few weeks ago. Nice kit. The chrome on the wheels was messed up, I stripped them and shot some metallic on them. And the moon tank is a little finicky.
