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.

Small electric drill.

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.

Also watching. I've never seen this kit. Need to look for it.

No more WIP photos. Not enough interest.

Moving along slowly. I'm trying to use the frame, suspension and engine from the 66 Pro Street and the body+interior from the 69 Yenko. Having to make some adjustments to make it fit. Got the rear looking ok, got to work on the front. This will be a street/strip car. Got the big treaded tires on the rear.

Looks sweet Bob. Nice work.

I am going to try kit bashing a 69 Yenko Nova with a 66 Nova Pro Street. May not work out, we will see.
