  4. Todd, thanks for the info. At this point it is too late to change it. The motor is mounted in the frame. At least I know for next time. Got the computers in and started on the wiring..... Just noticed the sink mark on the floor I forgot to fix. Guess I'll throw a helmet on the floor there..... Thanks for looking!!!
  5. There are decals in the Revel '69 Nova that replicate that look. Let me know if you want a set.......
  6. Thanks! The doors were cut out by scribing with the back of a #11 X-acto blade. This is an original kit from 1966 so the plastic is really brittle. I went really slow and used gentle pressure. Let the blade do the work. once I was all the way through I used the sharp side of a new knife blade on the inside of the car to free the doors. Just go slow and you'll get it. And the window frames are really fragile. I'll be using the windows to add the strength back.

  18. Did a little on this today. I have never opened doors before. I had this contour gage for doing customs and thought it would work great to figure out the inner contour of the doors. First I laid the gage in the door: Then I traced the gage onto some .040 styrene. I made four and glued them in place. I used some small plastic angle to keep them straight. Next time I'll build some door panels. Thanks for looking.
  19. Brett I commented on that build way back. I am pretty sure it is what inspired me to turn mine into a drag car. LOVE how you did the checkerboards on it! That whole car is gorgeous!
