'65 Nova Pro Street Update 11/14/22 Completed Chassis Photo Pg. 5
bluestringer replied to Plowboy's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Looking good. The stance looks great. I just started a 66 Nova myself. -
Lots of Nova's being built lately so I decided to get in on it. This is the AMT 66 Nova. The kit gives mixed signals as to where it is a pro street or pro stock. The kit only has slicks for the rear but I found these treaded meats in my parts box so I'm going to make it street legal. Color will be Createx transparent green over a base of Rustoleum bright coat. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Thanks Carl. Thank you. Thank you.

Fun kit. I think the front end sits too high, but I didn't try to get it any lower. I did get the rear slicks to tuck into the fenders a little more by shortening the rear axle. I cut as much as I could out without having to modify other components but they still stick out too far IMO.

Calling it done. Photos under glass.

Yes, you are correct. I knew it was something that was mismatched about the block and head. Memory getting bad in my old age.

Yep, Vega. I had a 73. Aluminum block and head, it warped if it got just a little hot. My cousin also had one that we stuck a 427 in and took to the local dragstrip, it was a mean little runner.

I really don't want to start over, ready to get it done and move on to something else. I've got a 66 Nova Pro Street I want to start on. I think I will try to hide the ugly with some of the decals.

Messed up the body. I forgot to glue on the front valance before I painted the body, so I painted it separate and tried gluing it on, I spilled glue all over the right front fender. I tried sanding and repainting the area but it didn't work out too good. Debating whether to put in the purple pond and start over or just let it be as is. Looks pretty bad.

Thank you.

Thanks Mike. This was my first time using the transparent colors. Thanks Carl.

Good Idea. We did have a bottler in a nearby city.

Thanks Mike. It will be a while before I start on it, but I will keep that in mind. May do the same as you and just leave the hood off.

Engine is ready except getting it wired, and the headers will go on after it's installed in the frame. Some chassis pics, not through with it yet, it's been very fiddley. The rear housing is not attached, I will try to cut out a section on each side and move the wheels/tires inboard, but there's not much there to work with.
