dragmodeler1 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Hello all, This is my first post! YIPPEE! But anyway, this is a 1969 Chevy Nova Stock Suspension Drag Car.....Really proud of this one, seeing I'm 14 and not a 'proffessional'.....Please enjoy and feel free to comment.
dragmodeler1 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 thanks! unfortunately i cant post anymore pics because the size is too big
MikeMc Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 thanks! unfortunately i cant post anymore pics because the size is too big Well some of us old guys would like to see more! You are attaching photos, and you've run out of room...SO you need to follow Sgt Clay and he will show you Photobucket. As you are 14..ck w/mom or dad to get the OK and get a free Photobucket, then you can post as many pictures as you want! Heres the PHOTOBUCKET link
Foxer Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Glad to see ya posting and reducing the size will make them look better. It's hard to get an overall look when so big. Here's the link to Clay's article on photo posting Stasch mentioned. Edited April 6, 2011 by Foxer

Brutalform Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Very nice Nova there!!!! I wish my models looked as good as yours when I was 14. Heck, it looks better than mine do now.
TA462 Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Very nice Nova there!!!! I wish my models looked as good as yours when I was 14. Heck, it looks better than mine do now. LOL, I'm in the same boat. Great job on that Nova, you should be proud of it.
Mooneyzs Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 This build looks great. I recently picked up this kit a few weeks ago myself. The detail in the parts are just nice. Keep up the great work.
Dragracer Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 really nice build, the paint looks great!, the yellow & black look good, the interior came out nice too!, & I have to agree, wish my builds looked that good at 14, 53 now & still have a hard time, hope you are still building at 50+!
dragmodeler1 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 Thank you for all the wonderful and inspiring comments! It sure means a lot....I'm thinking about buying a Galaxie Limited trailer for it also so that will be another fun build!
Dragracer Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Thank you for all the wonderful and inspiring comments! It sure means a lot....I'm thinking about buying a Galaxie Limited trailer for it also so that will be another fun build! I bought 2 of the 44'Galaxie Limited Trailers a few years back to "house" some of the Pro-Mods I plan on building, great kits, I have one semi-built, I painted the floor with Testors Aluminum Plate Metalizer paint then buffed it out & it came out great, haven't used the Testors Metaliziers sealer on it since that seems to dull out the finish, I'll try (experiment) some normal gloss clear. I recommend the Trailer kits, the ones I got were well made, no warpage, & go together well.
crazyjim Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Looking good, Troy, but don't forget the little things - like side marker lights & door handles.

I also have a chi town hustler....do you think I should go with the 44 footer instead seeing its a funny car?
Dragracer Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I also have a chi town hustler....do you think I should go with the 44 footer instead seeing its a funny car? I don't think it would hurt. The trailer comes with an opening door on the side with a moveable engine hoist, as I said it's a really nice kit.

Dragracer Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I'm sure either of them would work just as well.
