Tedly Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I recently was playing with this idea and can't decide if it "works". Looking for opinions before I waste too much time on it. It is an 86 monte carlo SS with a 66 nova roof.

It is an 86 monte carlo SS with a 66 nova roof. It sounds like a horrible idea, but ya know, it doesn't look too bad.
Yekoms Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I see what you were doin' this afternoon...Last nite was good time...Dar is excited for the next model meet...Smokey
Casey Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 The 1/25th scale roof on a 1/24th scale body does not work well IMHO.
SSNJim Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I agree with Casey. The body definitely overpowers the roof. If the body was sectioned and the roof lengthened to give the C-pillar a bit more width, it might look pretty good. I was wondering about using the Monte windshield, too, but I suspect it's a bit too late for that.... Neat idea, and nice work though. I've never been a fan of they styling of the rear half of any modern GM car. GM does some gorgeous front ends, but the backs need some serious help. Keep working with it; you're off to a good start.
started on 24s Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 IMO i dont think it looks all that great... a monte is a monte and a nova is a nova ... theres a lot of cars u can mix but i dont think these are in that category.. prolly just me tho cuz im a huge monte person
Junkman Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 IMO i dont think it looks all that great... a monte is a monte and a nova is a nova ... theres a lot of cars u can mix but i dont think these are in that category.. prolly just me tho cuz im a huge monte person I second this. It just doesn't look good to me. But: 10 out of 10 for originality and the workmanship is spot on!
george 53 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 The thickness of the body overpowers the height of the roof.I don't think the mixing of the scales was a good idea.
Eric Stone Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I didn't say in my first reply, but its profile looks like some type of Saturday night asphalt circle track racer.
Tedly Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 Yea, I kinda thought that too! I didn't say in my first reply, but its profile looks like some type of Saturday night asphalt circle track racer.
