AMT 66 Pro Street Nova Progress

[roush16]

Hey guys and gals. Been a while sine I have posted. Been on a military model binge for a while. Heres some pics on the progress of my 66 Nova. Im so/so happy with it so far. When I say so/so I mean half and half, lol. Seats need to be redone. Decided to open the trunk and use a hinge that should keep the trunk open by itself but it has to be adjusted and then should be fine. Scratchbuilt a fuel cell which is not done yet, distributor, racing shifter out of styrene and old photoetch from a tank model, rollbar, optima battery and some more scratch building details to come. Cant decide on what color, either Testors lacquer Deja Blue or Test Lacq Blazing black. Any suggestions... Please feel free to critique. Thanks!

Looks like you've got some neat ideas floatin' around with this one Anthony. I'm currently using this chassis on my Revell '54 Chevy Sedan Delivery build. I can't believe how well it fits up into the body of that thing.

Awesome looking build. I have this kit in my stash, and built one years and years ago. Fun build.

Hey Guys! Thanks for the kind words! They are a fun build for sure and as you state Joe, the frame with the tubs can be used on endless other models. You can even just cut out the rear half with the tubs and use it in another frame as Im sure you know. Thanks again guys!

Looks good so far. I think the black will suit the style of the car best, even though I'm a sucker for blue painted cars.
