How does a '63 Nova fast back AWB sound ?

[Tired of kit bashing]

I bought this body with the idea of building a Gasser , but instead my brain

decided that this body needed a change and then I had this vison and sorry

to say the vison won. So first to get cut was the Nova awb rat pack kit.

I cut right above the wheel well molding and used that with the body panel line

as a cutting guide.Once I was done with cutting out both rear 1/4 panels I then

turned to the ' 63 Nova fast back ( product of A/FXN Scale Resin ) and took my

time and checked twice before cutting , but I first mocked up the chassis with

the inter tin , rear end and front end all in place with tires and rims.I next put

the body on and lined up the front wheels and the inter tin. I took the 1/4

panels that I cut from the first Nova ( awb ) and line them up with the ' 63

Nova fast back body ( held in place with tape ) and also line the back of the

1/4's with the rear panel ( rear of car , bumper ) it will all fall into place.Now

it's fun time , mark and cut the 1/14's off the ' 63 Nova fast back and don't

look back it will all soon be over. Now that the nightmare of cutting is over a

new one starts.It's time to put it all back together , but before that the 1/4's

are two different widths so this is what I done. I used evergreen styrene strips

.030 x .100" item # 135 as a spacer ( one strip is good , but I guess it will

depend on the width of your saw blade ) once you have both sides done with

the styrene strip in place it's next to glue in your 1/4 panels. Try to line up the

two surfaces really good that would help to eliminate some body work , but

don't get me wrong you will have some body work to do.Best thing is when your

finished with the body you can use the rest of the Nova awb rat pack kit for

a donor.I've attach photo's in the order of the steps that it took me to make a

' 63 Nova fast back awb .

So much plastic and not enough time ............................ Rob
