thumper86 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Hello new here but not to Model building I see lots of builders here I know from the other place. But getting tired of being over there, so wanted to say Hi and thanks for having me . So my latest build is of the Suckers bet nova built by W2W and Kurt Urban. ls2, twin blowers,and a crusty old nova = lots of fun from stop light to stop light .S anyways here is the build its not finished yet but its getting there.Thanks again!
Greg Pugh Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Now THAT'S a sleeper! Very cool. Oh, btw, welcome!!
chev12olet Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Very cool indeed. Would it be possible to get a shot of the engine ?Looks awesome keep up the great work
CorvairJim Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing - WOW!
Nick Notarangelo Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 this is from a hot rod mag artical about five years ago,still nice job thought
Iron Fist Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Awesome, I have the issue of HotRod magazine when that car was in it.
SuperStockAndy Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Awesome! Thanks for coming over! I enjoyed reading your WIPs on that "other" forum
crazyjim Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Welcome to the other side. That beater Nova is quite a sleeper.
thumper86 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Thank you guys ! I dont have a lot of photos of the engine as once at a certain point you had to really build the car around it .I have to say it is one of the hardest builds I've ever worked on.Just trying to keep everything somewhat covered up was crazy.
SuperStockAndy Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 That is soooo cool! Oh, and I don't know if you remember me, but you emailed me the PDF of your chassis tutorial a little over a year ago
jeff ewaskey Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Really got the sleeper look down on your Nova. Looks great. Welcome to the forum buddy, its an awesome place to hang out and many talented builders here.

Guest Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Thumper!! Glad to see you over here! Build looks really cool. Can't wait to see it finished.
pharr7226 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Welcome aboard Thumper. Glad to see you here. The sleeper looks great.
mikemodeler Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Welcome to MCM Thumper, glad to see this build over here. That is coming along very nicely and looks pretty accurate. I mentioned on the other forum that this car is owned by a friend of mine and when I head back home later this year I hope to see it and maybe go for a ride! His brother tells me that the owner is in awe of the horsepower this car has and it definitely is not for the faint of heart. Thanks again for sharing it here.
thumper86 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 Hey while your on your ride drive on up here and pick me up please lol. Its finished and I will post pic later tonight or tomarrow thanks for the nice words guys it really does mean alot.
thumper86 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 Well here ya go the mirrors are not on it that way there not lost in shipping but as far as it goes here it is lol. I am happy I built this car Iam also really happy I didnt go as far as doing the trunk details also Tanks,pumps,etc because that would really take a while. but thanks guys for looking and off to the next build.
mikemodeler Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Thumper- I know you listed this on eBay, did you get any takers? Just curious if someone was taken by your build like so many of us here were? Thanks.
thumper86 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 It sold yes ,even had kurt Urban e-mail me on there lol. He built the 1:1 car lol very nice guy btw.
Foxer Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ .... sleeper with capital Z's! Welcome to MCM. My eyes keep getting attracted to that driver door dent that just looks SO right. Wonderful looking build!
