brett Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Well, what we have here is a part of my continuing saga to build yet another car from the American Nitro DVD. If you dont know what that is look it up sometime,(its only the BEST film ever made showcasing 70s american dragracing EVER,focusing on the funnycars). However just after 6minutes 47 seconds(approx) the nova I'm gonna try to replicate shows up with one of the most awesome burnouts ever done. I first seen this on vhs nearly 30 yrs ago and it's been etched into my brain ever since. Starting with the new revell 69 nova kit I got the rear end up as high as I could using kit parts and remade new front spindles to drop the nose about 4 more scale inches. Tryed getting some info from the :NITRO: Facebook page but didnt get anything helpful back at all.
Wolf75 Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Its a great kit. I'm working on the same one right now. I can't wait to see how yours comes out.
brett Posted September 2, 2010 Author Posted September 2, 2010 thanks guys, got some color on tonight and the interiors pretty much done, the windows are to be tinted quite dark so I wont be doing much detailing especially in there.
brett Posted September 4, 2010 Author Posted September 4, 2010 foiled tonight Bare metal foil that is,windows tinted and installed, interior and chassis installed....... just got a few little finishing touches to add...... shouldnt actually have the hood inserts but theres already libertys taken with this due to lack of info....
W-409 Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 This is very good looking! Nice colour on it and painjob looks very smooth and shiney! Good job with that engine. This kit is worth buying! Have this same kit, I'm building E/Stock Drag Racer from it and this kit is very nicely detailed. It looks awesome with some details added!
Dragline Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Looks great Brett. I love the cotton ball burnout. I remember back in the late 70's early 80's at Hobby Town in Dartmouth Mass, behind the counter up on the shelf was a 1/16th scale Garlits RE Dragtser built. It had a cool cotton ball burnout with it and it captured my imagination for sure. That, and the fact I had never seen the kit before that so it had me in awe. Your build is killer dude. Bob
ewaskew Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Very cool Brett,I'm going to have to do the cotton ball for the burn out that just sets it off. The car is very nice by itself.
DRG Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Fantastic build. Love the paint job, mine never look that good. The cotton ball burnout is really cool, haven't seen that since the early sixties.
Magic Photos Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks guys,really appreciated Brett the car is Richard Schoders wheelstand Nova blown big block in the back.
Zhu Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Lovely buid. The colour & stance are great, but for me the clincher is the cotton....inspired Your a magician Brett. Now, mail it to me Davey

brett Posted September 15, 2010 Author Posted September 15, 2010 Cool mate, thanks a lot, always been interested in this car but no one seemed to know anything
Hondo Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Yes Brett it is his car 100% sure Wasn't going to say anything Brett because you did a great job on it, but, YES, it was a rear engine car. Edited September 16, 2010 by Hondo
