Nice to see your builds again Tyrone! The details and cleanliness of them makes me jealous!

Keep them coming.

[shucky]

Nice Tyrone, stance and wheels/tires look great. Can't wait to see it finished.

This one looks good! I'm suprised to see something else than Drag Cars from your bench. Something bit different. Engine detailing looks good, and those wheels fit prefectly. And Happy Birthday!

What did those rims come off of?

[Modellpularn]

Looks good, and I like the wheels....! But have to be a little nitpicky.... ohh here we go again... The valve covers, at least the right side is upside down. See, that funny looking small round thing at the edge of the valve cover, is an opening for a breather hose that goes to the base of the air cleaner. Also, big block valve covers have uneven bolts; three on one side - towards the intake, and four on the other side - towards the exhaust. I've seen some model companies mold eight bolts on the valve covers, thinking that's correct. No!

Well, now you know.....

Looks great.nice job on the old Nova.Thanks,Chris

What did those rims come off of?

These wheels and tires are from the r/m stars and stripes corvette, they are also in the r/m 68 corvetteL88 rebel racer. thanks for the observation about the valve cover, I'll correct those tonight..

[SuperStockAndy]

Been a while Tyrone, but it was worth the wait.

[nboldman]

is that the motor that came with the kit? because thats an awesome motor!

[tyrone]

Thanks guys, Nathan this is the kit engine I'm going to be adding a little more detail to the engine bay, heater hoses, brake lines from the master cylinder, and some wiring... thanks again...
