66 Nova Pro Street-AMT

Recommended Posts

Hello to everyone. The work of 3 months. I could not photograph the construction stages. If we summarize briefly what happened;

The front of this model is a bit too high, I cut the chassis and glue it up a bit, lowering the front of the vehicle by 5mm. Of course, while doing this, I watched a lot of videos on youtube about how they cut the chassis and lower a vehicle.

I cut out the middle of the rims, there was a meaningless cone-shaped protrusion, I added a real piece there.

I made the supercharger and air inlet of the engine from PVC sheet. I even used a rubber buckle as a strap. I made the wiring in accordance with the real.

Its interior was not suitable for a racing vehicle, I made a guard cage, racing seat, NOS tube, gauges and seat belt.

For the burgundy color, I got the shade I wanted by mixing black and blue into Tamiya's bright red. I painted the rims and bumpers with Alclad Chorome.

Good job on all the custom work, certainly made it your own. I like what you done to the engine with supercharger and scoop.

Thank you for comments,

Glad you like it

Just found your 66 Pro Street Nova. Beautiful work Aymer. I building the same kit and am interested in what you used to complete the centers of the wheels. They are way better looking than what the kit offers.

Thanks for any info and well done on this kit.

Hello there, I am glad you like it. I pierced the middle of the rims. I then glued a circular piece of 0.5mm sheet of appropriate size. After some sanding, I got the integrity. Then I drilled the lug nuts again. I was very satisfied with the result.
