My version of the AMT 1966 Nova Pro Street

Recommended Posts

I bought this kit for parts to use on other models, so when it came time to build it I had to fabricate the rear end, axle, wheels and exhaust... It turned out a little crude but not too bad for a middle of winter build. A friend of mine owned one much like this back in the day.

Cheers

Looks great Dan! I I really like the engine bay details. I built this kit a while back, pretty much box stock, and painted it green with white rally stripes. Your  selection of yellow looks good.

Thanks guys... It was also my first attempt at bare metal foil. Didn't go too well and I used too much pressure when trimming the edges. Took me about 2 hours to do the bare metal foil and with the Molotow pen it takes about 5 minutes. I'll try the foil again on my next project and see how it goes.

Cheers

Beautiful Nova!   How did you get the metal look of the door panels?

Krylon silver spray paint just like the chassis and engine bay....
