Six Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 Building this one pretty much outta the box except the tires and wheels...those are from a Revell Willy's gasser
Six Posted July 10, 2022 Author Posted July 10, 2022 I guess it would help if I posted a photo...dummy! 2
Dennis Lacy Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 Looks really good on that wheel and tire set! I don’t care for those front tires on the Willys they come in (or under other early cars) but they look appropriate under the 60’s Nova body. Any fit issues with the slicks? They’re quite a bit wider than the piecrust slicks in the Nova.

Yeah, those rears are very tight, they do rub, but I'm going with 'em, coz this isn't any kind of contest build...and I like the bigger tires!!!! ? 1
Zippi Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 The wheels & tires looks pretty killer on your Gasser. I love the old Gassers. I've got this kit but not sure when I'll get to it.
TransAmMike Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Looks real good, I sure like that front suspension setup on that kit. Could be used on any number of cars.
Metaldrumm Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Great choice of rims and tires cant wait to see this one finished,yea I bought 2 of these bad boys.
Six Posted July 21, 2022 Author Posted July 21, 2022 The trailer is from Revell's Bronco half cab with the dune buggy. I used tires and wheels from a mini Cooper, added some scratch build stuff to make it look better...chains, landing gear, etc... Using the 63 Nova wagon as a tow pig!!! Swapped out tires and wheels. Used Eduard's photo etched harness for the gasser, and gonna shoot it HOK Sunrise pearl on the roofs of both, with a custom mixed orange pearl on the bodies and trailer fenders...maybe ?????
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Looking good. Those tires from the Willys look right at home on the Nova. I was disappointed in the wheel and tire combo in that Nova kit. Lots of parts (already robbed some) in the Moebius Nova kit, tho... -RRR
Six Posted July 21, 2022 Author Posted July 21, 2022 That Nova gasser practically builds it's self!!!
1972coronet Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Lookin' great, @Six! What powerplant are you going with in the wagon?

Keeping the wagon curbside...?? My old worn out eyes just aren't what they used to be...one day, I'm probably building them all curbside! ? 1
Six Posted July 25, 2022 Author Posted July 25, 2022 The bodies are in my "drying booth" cooking the clear coats so I can sand & polish them in the next day or two!! 3
cobraman Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Looking good ! Better strap that drag car down good so it don't fall off !
iBorg Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 The roll bar looks really good. Is that the kit roll bar or did you replace it with metal rod?
