MAGIC MUFFLER Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Hello world ... I have been contemplating this car for a long time now. I wasn't sure if I should go ahead with this because I started with the Nova "Rat Packer" kit. That car is a '65 and the "Chevy 2 Much" Nova is a '63. The side panels behind the side rear windows just aren't right for me. I decided to start anyway and see what I thought once I got the paint and decals on it. Most everything else is sitting on the bench waiting for the next step. I'm at a stop ( not happy! ) Most of all, I wanted to make sure I got the wheels right on this one and the stance with the wheel wells cut out properly. Here's a photo of the "first generation car" and my start on it …( later the car had the front wheels moved farther forward ). I'm thinking of starting over and getting the '63 Nova Trumpeter kit and working the wheel wells. I'll have to add the sedan post too. Hmmm ….

gtx6970 Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I agree,, keep moving forward and try not to take it to seriously I tend to try not an over analize things to much. I want them accurate,,but within reason. If I can look in my case and see the vision i had in my mind , I'm good.
Daddyfink Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 The Rat Packer is a great starting point for an early funny car, with some slight mods, they look pretty good. Unless you are going for dead nuts accuracy, just build away!
MAGIC MUFFLER Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 All you guys are great !!!!! Thanks a bunch and I'll keep you posted ...
MAGIC MUFFLER Posted September 14, 2015 Author Posted September 14, 2015 Not very much done but did manage a little on the interior and also started on the motor. Will try and get some more pics and a little more done this week...
