blackbeard Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Very sharp looking and the paint looks fantastic
NYLIBUD Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Wow,looks great.A lot better then my Shapeways Pro mod Nova.Cant wait to see the chassis:cage.
Anglia105E Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 To see the daylight bouncing off that purple roof..... more than a work of art.... it's poetry! Wish I could get close to that glass finish with my paintwork. David
underdog1495 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 Ken is touching up a couple of things and hopes to ship to me this weekend. I'm going to start laying out a chassis jig which will hold this in place, I need all the help I can get since I only have two hands. I have an alum plate and some pressure clamp arms that the jig & fixture world uses on coordinate measuring machines to hold work. I'm going to put a couple slots horizontal which will hold a small block with a 'v' or a half round in it so it's adjustable, I know hard to envision, Hope to have something to show in a week is life doesn't get in the way.
mnagatani Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Thanks for posting these. I have enjoyed this thread so much.

W-409 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 It's a long time since I've been here in Big Boys section so I just went through the whole thread. Really nice work so far! Great job smoothing out the body before painting and the paint job looks good too. Now I need to follow this one...
comp1839 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 he should be smiling.....car looks GREAT!!!! nice job guys!!
underdog1495 Posted February 10, 2018 Author Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Started the design of the chassis. Took a while to get this base designed, researched the SFI spec closely and tracing the inside of the body, wheel base, engine position, etc. i think i have it nailed....if not ..well I’ll fix it somehow lol lol Edited February 10, 2018 by underdog1495
Anglia105E Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Well Brian, if the chassis turns out anything like the body, it will be truly brilliant ! David
NYLIBUD Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Really looking forward to seeing this car all finished.
underdog1495 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Posted February 19, 2018 Nothing this week guys. Thanks for all the encouraging comments. The weather is starting to break and I was very busy with family and house things this weekend. My 1:1 64 Malibu build will be coming home from the chassis shop in a month or two so I'm trying to stay on this Nova build in the meantime.
NYLIBUD Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I'm Really looking forward to seeing that chassis
underdog1495 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Posted February 23, 2018 My wife found some material for the chutes
underdog1495 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Bill Sansone helped me out with these, look nice Simpson blackout. Pretty sure i have some silver i can put on the ropes to look the part a bit more Edited February 23, 2018 by underdog1495
