Got some stuff done on the Nova. Body and some parts have been cleaned and primed. Some parts were dullcoted and some chrome bits were stripped. I drilled out the gauges on the dash and cut the frame to put in some aluminum pieces to increase the length of the chassis.
A few years ago when these AWB cars were re-released I built 3 or 4 of all of them, Nova, Falcon. Mustang and Tempest. Except for engine and body they are pretty much the same. Easy to build and I do think they display nice when finished.
Over a grand a week for 8 weeks ? Good luck. Have anything valuble you can sell ? I don't mean liver or kidney. Extra car ? Motorcycle ? Firearms ? Me thinks your fighting an uphill battle. Let us know if you make it and how. I think we all could use an extra 9 grand.
