Finished the interior, looks great i reckon. The red is horrid yeah but it is to match the decals that will be on the body. I ran a power/ground wire from the battery, tried to make it look like 0 Gauge but i might have failed with that one. I also threw a heap of parts box bits together to make another motor, a blown 440 an torqueflight in a Nova?. Well im not evan sure where that motors going at this stage.

haha ^ bro strap a hair dryer on that ecotec and reel those numbers in. Solid motors.

lol ^ My Daily runs a warm Hemi 265 and my project runs a Holden 304 with Tunnel ram and spun big end bearing lol

Cheers for that Casey it was a good read, im not sure im taking this hobby THAT seriously yet, but im always willing to try out new things. I bought Primer, white and more white Pearl at the hobby store today as well as some black heat shrink and Red 30 guage wire from AutoParts. This model might be getting more details then first planned!

Next project will have to be Max's 4 door ceptor XB for sure, i reckon that car was cooler than the coupe lol Mint job on the xb coupe too btw

Ive never seen Joe dirt, im guessing i should haha. The car looks awsome anyway i reckon lol

I cant wait to see it done either, ive only got a few hours to get to the hobby store this arv so hopefully i can get time and get some paint on the body, that's all i wanna do haha!

Why does that motor look sort of familiar to me? Didn't Jimmy Shine do a blown flathead or something a few years ago in a roadster?

Ahh yes, i remember these, and all the hype. I also remember the mighty 5L VL and VNs breathing fire up there ass the whole time. 2013 is looking good though with a Chrysler 300c moving in with whatever nissan 4 door they will be making available over here. Back on topic it looks great. You sure have some skills mate.

Not my style of car either but you still did a sweet job on it. The interior and body colors work great.

Great tip! im sure that will come in handy for my next model ahaha Awsome color choice here too.

Ive decided to make another change to the car that will give it that real track car theme, i was going to color code the engine bay white like you would on a proper car (Not black like on typical gm ######), but instead im going to paint all the sheet metal panels in the same aluminium Metalcote as the interior. Should look sweet.

Mate hurry up and get this done lol. Looks so bouse already

Mate! i was hoping the interior was more like the 68 dart i did with the full sheet metal interior and half cage, but, using your advice, i have mocked up something that looks prety killer. It doesn't look nearly as good in the photos as it does in real life Cheers JunkPile.

Wow cheers for all that feedback guys, appreciate it. Ill put an empty beer bottle aside tonight and see how we go for a stand tomorrow arvo. Ive almost got the the interior done, and the motor is looking prety complete as well. Ill see if i can get some really small guage wire and heat shrink tomorrow too, and try to run ignition leads on the spare motor from the Dart i did. Ive never done it before, so I dont really want to wreck this one lol.

Cheers mate, whats with amt and wheel fitment issues! Grr! I was actually thinking of doing mine that color blue as well! Like the Chevelle off that old Catch me if you can movie lol Would be sweet to try and raise that rear axle up a smigeon too, sits abit too high, imo. We will see how we go aha.

Yeah, the only issue i have is the body moving when you spray it, do you just tape them to the hangers or something? for 38 bucks i reckon you would have to be prety serious about the hobby lol

I really need to start using a primer, i figured the Pearl white would be solid enough to just spray on, nope. Might have been fine if the casts where white, but meh, sanded it back smooth, will pick up something from the hobby store tomorrow to use as a base, probs just a gloss white. This morning at the hobby store I also checked out those stands you guys use for spraying the bodies, $38.00! What a rip lol hopefully i can find something on the net. These little engine stands with short motor are such a cool addition too.

Gday, picked up my 4th model for the year, the AMT 66 Nova, ive only just opend the box and i can tell its going to be an awsome build. Cant wait to get stuck in. Color will be Pearl white, i wanted to use the graphics out of the box and white is one of the only colors guaranteed to look great with them. Keep an eye out for more updates! Dan

This is all just so awsome, i want to see more!

Looks sick man

I am really digging that color, so nice.

Yeah, must be an Aus thing, popular word among car enthusiasts over here. But it suits this model to a T.

Sweet as!

the little kurb feelers are so bouse
