1964 Chevy II Nova Resto Mod

[Zippi]

This is the Moebius kit that was just released not to long ago.  It's a nice kit but I have no idea why Moebius thought this was a Resto Mod with a 283 sbc in the business end and basically a stock interior.  I should have went with an LS but I do like the old schools stuff.  I'm building this for a Group Build on YouTube.  Other than plug wires and different wheels & tires it will be box stock.  I'm going with Tamiya X-7 Red to help show off the Red line tires.  The wheels & tires came from the parts box and can't remember what kit they came out of.  I was wanting to get some primer on the body but it has been nothing but rain, rain, and more rain.  I did get some detailing done on the engine and in the engine bay.

Yup, looking good so far.

The weather straightened up this afternoon and I got the body in primer.

Like the engine and the white headers, just like the VHS Header Paint.

Hey Zippi! I haven't been on here for a while but I'm not surprised to see you starting something I'm sure to like! I still have my real life '64 Bel Air and the first thing I bought for it was that boomerang air filter! Looks like a great start!

Welcome back dude and thanks.  Hard to beat a 64 Bel Air.

Thanks Greg.  I always have trouble with red so I'm trying to redeem myself on this one.

I finally got some paint on the body this morning.  It's going to need a little wet sanding before I shoot the clear on.  I also got the business end buttoned up.

[Zippi]

Taking a look at the paint this morning and I'm not liking what I see so I did a little wet sanding and going to repaint it.

[slusher]

Did it go dull on you Bob?

No...it was just a little to grainy for me.

[Zippi]

I had to re-paint the body as it just didn't look right to me.  It looks better but I'm hoping with a little wet sanding and clear it will look better.  I think I have the bottom side about done.

Looking very good!
