Just another 1963 Nova wagon post.

So I wanted to try my hand at patina. I think for my first time it is not too bad. I added a LS1/4L60E combo, and 17" rallies with a front drop. I have to dig in my junk yard for a radiator, master cylinder battery, and hoses. I put it up to the first one I did, and eventually it will be joined by the 4x4 version I am currently working on.

The paint was four colors. Rust, grey, and green, and white. Sanded to patina, then clear coated with Testors lacquer dull coat.

Great looking finish on the body. Looks like it has spent to many summers at the oceans edge. Like the engine and wheel upgrades. The shinny wagon looks great as well.

That's pretty outstanding, for a first attempt. Very well done! I love this kit, and could build several of them.
