  1. Camel Yellow? I used Tamiya Camel Yellow for the color coats. I also started looking for Decals for the Nova. Rear view after 3 coats of Yellow. More Coming...
  2. Day 2...Paint Day! Wednesday was warm so I started Painting! First I sprayed a couple coats of DupliColor Gray Filler Primer. Then I did a little filling and Sanding followed by a third coat. Next I applied a coat of Flat Black Primer. After the Black I masked off 2 Stripes with Low Tack Blue Tape. More Coming...

  4. Great Project! One of my Favorites...
  5. We Have Power!!! The Engines have been glued in place and the Big Heat Sink/ Equalizer fits right in between. The Vette Jet is now Finished! I hope to post the Vette Jet Photos by the weekend! Finished Photos Coming...
  6. Thanks for the kind words Niko! Hope you enjoy it...
  7. Double Your Power! I decided to replace the Boss Nova's Big Chrysler with 2 Corvette Engines. These are fron the Double Dragster Kit. I cut the optional Motor Mounts in half and glued them on each side of the Engine Mounts. Here is how they fit in the frame. I added 2 Superchargers from old Revell Parts Packs. I cut off and moved the Transmission Power Housing to Center so it lines up with the Drive Shaft. More Coming...
  8. Cut it Out! The Engine Compartment from the original 3n1 Station Wagon Kit is still in the Funny Car Kit... So I cut it out with a Cut Off Wheel and later used a Sanding Disk to clean up the rough edges. More Coming...
  9. Front's Done! I painted the inside Flat Black. Then I cut an oversize piece of Dark Gray Foam Rubber and squeezed it so it fit inside. Almost Finished...
  10. Thanks for the Vote of Confidence Glenn!
  11. Bubble Trim is Done! I used a few strips of Silver Stripping Tape and one strip of Black Stripping Tape to finish the Bubble Top. More Coming...
  12. Yes it is! The trick is to plan ahead and then actually stop building at the Deadline. I wanted to keep building and adding more detail, but I did stop at 5 days...
  13. Top Chopped! Here is the Chopped top glued in place on the Plastic Strips. I added another strip on the back before gluing. Rear View! More Coming...
  14. Top Chopping! I double checked the Chop Lines and they seem to be just right! I cut the post off with a Cut-Off Wheel in a Dremel Tool. I decided to fill the slot in the roof so I cut a piece of sheet plastic to fit. Then I glued it in place with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label. More Coming...
  15. This should be Fun!
  16. The Next Day... Body Work! I started by Chopping the Top Off with an X-acto Razor Saw! Then I fit the Top inside of the Body and found that if I Chopped 5/16" off, the Body would be about 3/16" too wide for the Top. So I figured that a 3/32" wide Plastic Strip added to each side would be the right width for the Top. Here is the Body with one of the Side Strips glued in. Notice that the Strip is a little higher than the Body. This is because the Strip is glued in on an angle and I had to attach it high enough so that the inside of the Strip was Flush with the Body. Next I sanded the Strips down Flush with the Body. More Coming...
  17. Great Progress Ron! Beautiful Work, I'm watching...
  18. Great Build Mike! Wonderful Mods and Real Nice Detailing...
