gseeds Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) Here’s another newly finished Saved X-Glue Bomb ,last year I traded a Mint johan funny car kit for this because I had to have it , so I thought, the plan was to build a cool stock wheel base drag car , until I seen that a awesome ‘65 nova gasser and a ‘64 stock SS nova were being issued this year ! Those two new kits would surely be better subjects for my drag car, this model started off as a convertible, I added a roof from the amt Awb ‘65 nova body which I got from my buddy Scott here on the site making it a Hard Top, I decided to leave the rest of the model pretty much box stock, except wheels and tires , so now I have another nice little screw bottom to ad to the display case ! Thanks for looking!! Edited April 8, 2022 by gseeds 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Great job adding the roof as it looks as if had always been there. The color is striking, and the finish looks great. I like that you dressed up the 6-cylinder engine. The Ansen style wheels make this look like a nice daily driver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have a picture of when I first picked it up, but picture a box stock convertible painted black from about 50 years ago , I do have a couple pic’s after I stripped it and added a 65 nova top to it before primer.

Spottedlaurel Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) That's really nice Gary, very subtle. What does an American 'six' sound like, and how do they rev and respond to tuning? I've got a 2.4 6-cyl lump in my 1:1 Datsun, it's probably strangled by its single carb and limited breathing in the cylinder head, so best just to row it along on the torque and enjoy the noise (which is a bit like a boat I often think). But I know the 240Z etc uses the same engine to much better effect. Just curious, V8s get all the attention and the 6-cyl engines seem like a poor relation, but in other markets they were the top-of-the-line unit.
