Let's See Your '62-'65 Chevy IIs/Novas!

[Snake45]

In about six to eight weeks (if we're lucky), we're going to start seeing a flood of great builds of the new Moebius '64 and '65 Nova kits. Before they get moved to the Back Shelf of Modeling History, let's see all your existing AMT and Trumpeter First Gen (1962-1965) Chevy IIs and Novas. Hardtops, convertibles, wagons, resins, stock, custom, street, drag, AWB, completed, WIP, even glue bombs and projects--drag 'em all out for one last moment of glory in the spotlight! 

I don't have a completed 1G Nova on the shelf yet, but I do have two projects in the works. 

AMT '62 HT, acquired as a bare painted body on eBay, active on my workbench now, and hope to have it done in the next couple weeks: 

 

Another AMT '62 HT from eBay, a glue bomb former custom I hope to rebuild as a High School Hot Rod in the very near future: 

 

AMT '62 and '63 convertible bodies from a "project box" I bought a couple months ago (the chassis and interior are going into the orange HT above): 

 

Oh, and I have a fairly nice 1/24 '64 HT diecast that's also about to become obsolete: 

 

Let's see yours!

Here’s a original AMT ‘62 nova I picked up from a buddy of mine in a trade sometime  last year, started as a slightly glue bomb convertible, after stripping the old paint and cleaning up some glue marks, I added a top and glass from the amt AWB Chevy 2 which I picked up from another buddy here on this site, who happened to have a spare body sitting around, thanks Scott! , I had a ‘63 in high school in 1977 , so I’m kinda leaning toward a 70’s style cruzer or a 70’s street freak with a crazy paint job and a blower sticking out the hood , nice thing about these models is you can let your imagination go wild ! Pics when I’m done.

Glad to hear and see that this works--I'm planning to do exactly that with the glue bomb convertible body shown above. 

Meanwhile, I dug out that other glue bomb '62 HT and started repairing the glue damage from the goofy fender skirts. I'd really love to get both those '62 HTs done before the Moebius kit appears.

NOTE: This thread is intended primarily for COMPLETED models, but WIPs, glue bombs, etc are certainly WELCOME if that's all you have to show at this time.
