1966 chevy nova sedan (post)

[R. Thorne]

I see a number of model kits for the hardtop, but none for the sedan or post type 1966 nova.   Can someone tell me what is involved to convert a hardtop to a sedan or are there resin kits available?  Thanks, Ron.

I believe Jimmy Flintstone still casts this body style, from an excellent master done by the late Mike Watgen a good 25 years ago or so.

Check in the Aftermarket/Resin area. There are several casters that offer a resin tudor sedan bodies. The roof line is a very different shape  from a hardtop.

I was just looking over Jimmy's site, it isn't currently listed. However, Jimmy does have  many product he does not necessarily have listed, so it might be worth contacting him to see if it is still available.

I'd just glue in a piece of styrene.

Thank you very much for your input, guys.  Ron.

I think the roof might be different between hdtp and sdn

The only problem with that is that on the Nova HT, the roofline is almost 2 scale inches lower than that of a sedan body--with the windshield having a much more "vertical" angle to it;  and then there's the rear of the roof, which on the sedans is much more "boxy looking".

Bandit Resins offers this body style and it is currently available; $30.00 for the body only. I have purchased many of his resin bodies and have yet to be disappointed.

That body looks very nice.  What do you do with the unused original Nova bodies though?

Build them into super gas or funny cars .

Cut down a NASCAR chassis and make them into Saturday night bullring fighters.
