Back for a second look. Wait, I mean 3rd, no 4th, no...aw shucks, lost count. I just can't seem to get enough of looking at this thing. Again, Bill, this is stunning!!! What's the paint? Stance, styling, color...it all just seems to work so well...

Most of us all know Mr. Stillwagons incredible work. Alot of people see his works and are imediatly attracted to his phenomenol painting abilities. But wait....there are some very subtle and very look changing mods that he has going on, which only further inhance those incredible paint jobs but sometimes, may be missed if you dont know what to look for. Now look what we have here!!!! A Box Nova, we can all agree that the Box Nova has been done and done and done. Mr. Stillwagon has taken this subject and has turned it into a modern, sexy never been seen before (not by me) rendition, that I could picture as a 1:1 vehicle on the cover of a custom car mag or maybe with all the Retro cars we see the Big 3 putting out, at a showroom floor near you. Bravo Mr. Stillwagon you have once again built a model car that makes us mere mortals go :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::lol::lol: WOW!!!!!!!!!!

PS. Those rescribed doors and door lines really make this car incredible. IMHO

<_< Thanks Guys for the kind compliments! I've had that Nova kit for years, I Love those cars but it seems they're always either a Race Car or a Pro street car (Both of which I like!) I just thought I'd try the roadster look. When I first did it I hated it but when I re-did the doorlines, I thought that made it a lot better. I'm still not in love with the cowl hood but I had to do that because the cowl area looked a mile wide after I grafted the interior in. fortunately, the rear overhang of the scoop hides a lot of that width in the cowl. I guess that's called engineering by mistake!

Dirk, the paint is HOK Candy Red over duplicolor copper metalspecks straight from the spray can.

Raul, the engine is still in the box! it's a curbside with a homemade floorpan, I couldn't get the chassis to work because of the interior depth. (This is really just a slackers excuse to allow Me to move on to something else !) As the saying goes:

"Too many models,too little time!"

Thanks again guys!

To answer Skull 08's questions. Yes,I do make aluminum parts for the aftermarket on a hobby level.I don't have a website,just a few pics on my Fotki album.The wheels I made for Bill and our Host were a one time thing.
