Tyrone... This is going to be another Awesome build. I say build this in a "Murder Nova" style.... ;). I can't wait to see this one come to life.

Thanks alot for all the kind words, they are motivating... I got the trunk opened and made the rear wing.. now I can get the trunk floor done, and finish up the bracing.. I may go with the same front wheels on this one and paint them black.. got a few ideas going in my head..lol..

I saw the Green Nova on Street Outlaws awhile back.

What chassis did you start with Tyrone?

Len I use the prosportsman 55 chevy floor pan lower chassis rails and front strut bars, they will fit most anything with a little modifying..

Posted

Is the 55 chassis significantly different from the 57? I have the 57.

No Len... It's the the same except for the dash, and the rear wing, (stuff I don't use anyway) I just like the engine from the 55.. It has the big chief style heads and valve covers...

Posted

Wait a minute, I'm going to predict the future of this Nova....... Ah yes, it's coming to me now............. It'll turn out to be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, I think I need to put the old Testor's glue away for awhile!!!!!!! :wacko:

Posted

Looks Awesome Tyrone im interested in how you hinge your doors, the technique I'm using works, but i just don't like the way it looks. Any suggestions?? P.s. I use the old school brass or styrene tubing with a bent up paper clip method.

Posted

That's some impressive work , all that tubing looks like it came out of the box like that !

I'm definitely going to school here ! B)

got the trunk floor done and added some braces up front for the fuel cell. Thanks for looking and comments welcome...
