Turbo 400 transmission?
Nova-ss replied to ismaelg's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Is the trans a GM or Chevy bolt pattern on the bell housing? Thanks,Chris -
My first car is a 1974 Chevrolet Nova SS.I love it.when I bought it,it had part of a 350 engine a broke windshield and a smashed up right side door.it had sat from years.when I started taking it apart a bees nest was in the trans...I still don't know how that happened.I bought a running 400 4 bolt main and did some rebuilding to it.I rebuilt the trans and put a full manual pack in it and parts from B&M and A1.I put a 4 thousand stall torgue converter in it.the normal stuff Crager SS rims protract tires,traction bars from Lakewood.I spent alot of money and time on it.then I rebiult it again this time with the same SB 400 bored out to 407 CID 12 to 1 comp and all the goodies.it is fast.there is more but to much to talk about,I've said more then I should now.great stories.thanks,Chris

Bench Rage! Have you ever lost it?
Nova-ss replied to Chillyb1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've come close before.I don't blame anyone,but it can cause rage that comes out.its a good thing cause I sure wouldn't want a live person to be at the other end of the rage.I most of the time put it away for awhile and when I come back to it....everything is better.I often wonder if its not other stress that cause the death of a kit to happen.but either way its ok....its not real so everybody will be ok.take a breather think about something else.don't sell,trade any kits off till you have really thought about it.good luck,have a nice day,Thanks,Chris -

building a model for money ?
Nova-ss replied to dabelltoller's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I've build models for people many times.the money is nice,but like others have said.its is hard to sometimes let it go.I enjoy building for others cause when it is done,it leaves.its hard at times but nice to go see it be displayed.if you think or know you can do the work successfully then by all means do it.but count all the money that goes into the build.the kit,any resin parts,decals,paint,glue,casting parts if needed.keep track of all the money that goes into the work.this is art work we do.its no different then drawings,paintings,music,cooking.....there is so many things that are art.let us know how it turns out.I'm sure you will do well for the buyer.Thank ya,Chris -
Very nice!!! the final work on this car is cool.I like,good job on the whole car.Thank ya,Chris

Pro Star and 53 ft Great Dane reefer
Nova-ss replied to Dave Metzner's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
WOW!!! Great news.I can't wait to get some to build and have for kit bashing.I don'y like calling it kit bashing,but its what it called.I to have my wants.I hope the truck has the ability to be a day cab.but I;ll be happy with anything they are putting out.Thank you Dave and Moebius for getting us some new trucks and trailer to build.keep doing it.Thanks,Chris -
I love the original art work on the covers of the model box.I wouldn't buy the vampire van with that box art that was last on it.I didn't even pay attend to it.but now its being brought back with the orginal art work and all the rest of it.its now a interest for me.I know that makes no sense.....cause I know how it sounds but to me the old box art and the way they did all the box art helped me to build it and make what I want out of it.I think it is great they are doing this stuff.some of it I never was able to get to put together.so i think its great.I do want to see some new tooling as well.I wished they would make the art work on the new tooling like old stuff was.Thank ya,Chris
