Mj-Styro Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 Absolutely stunning. What more can I say? Thanks Jones! really happy with it! not bad for athree day build!!
Tom Kren Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Nice job! any problems with it going together Building mine now!
Mj-Styro Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Nice job! any problems with it going together Building mine now! She has a tight fit with slipping the interior pan and chassis once completed..into the body.....just have to tweak it a tad to slip them in........only other thing is the grill doesnt wanna fit in there right and has a slight bow to it, it has poped the front bumper out a tad will fix tomorrow.............. One more thing, if your using the side maker or scripts remove them from the body first.....other wise they are a PIA to put on.........never did the scripts i did them with a silver sharpie......... Good luck and post inprogress shots..... Edited July 26, 2008 by Mj-Styro
Raul_Perez Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Nice looking build!! All of the details and the BMF look GREAT!! Later,
george 53 Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Mike, she turned out so pretty it actually brought a tear to my eyes! I miss my Nova! Yours came out GREAT!
crispy Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 That looks great Mike! I love the 12.5 in the window. Little details really make this pop. Chris
Mj-Styro Posted July 27, 2008 Author Posted July 27, 2008 Well here she is! in all its glory! Not a bad kit to build at all! pretty straight forward,with afew exceptions....as follows If your gona use the side marker decals you should remove the side marker lights from the body,and also the nova scripts...which can be detailed with a silver metallic sharpie fairly easy....... The rear shackle blocks should be used if you dont want it to sqat in the rear (which i do so i left it as it is), the sway bars are awesome and install fairly easy. INTERIOR The details here are very nice! window crank and door handles are really raised which make it easy to detail paint....Choice of two shifters one with out consule one with and the one with includes the decals for the gauages which really add to the interior,and also the instrument panel has your choice of two decals, drag gauages or stock.......and once trimmed they fit very nicely. BODY really nothing bad here exept for maybe the grill fits really tight and it does lsightly bow out int he center, and the hood latch or trim on the front edge of the hood (you have to add this piece) catches the hood latch, trimming needs to be done in order for it to fit........... taillites and back up lites are small and should be carefull not to drop them into never never land cause you wont be able to find them........ ENGINE I did the plug wires and added a MSD box from the amt 1970 1/2 Baldwin motion car,and used the headers and hooked the street exhaust up to them........ OVERALL It replicates a very nice copy of the real deal( in my eyes that is) on to the pics!!
cruz Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Very cool, I personally don't like to take shots right under the sun but this one looks great anyways!!!
Nick F40 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Wow, this really turned out great! I love all the details and I hope mine comes out as nice. It looks really neat in the sun. You coming to the picnic?
Marcelspeed Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I vote Real! Oh sorry wrong part of the forum. But seriously nice work that second outside pick almost looks real.
mikelo Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Thanks for the outdoor shots. Nuch better. Great looking build. Thanks for your break down of the kit also. I just got one last night and have some plans for it before I got it (you'll see them some time soon.). I like hearing of common problem areas before I start. Great looking kit. Great job on your build. Mike
kasteer Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Wow. Those outdoor pics make a big difference. Looks GREAT!
Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 What's goin' on... Very Cool!!! Well Done!!!
