Thanks fellas I really appreciate it, this one has grown on me too.... I'm not sure on a color yet but it will have the black yenko stripes and black wheels, I'm open for ideas on the paint though kind of wanted to go with a factory color offered on these....

hey, Tyrone, looking good as usual. as far as i know, yenko novas were a very rare animal. i believe the colors were, garnet red, lemans blue, rally green and fathom green. my choice would be the rally green, black top, black stripe (or white would look killer also). i have seen most of your builds and you are like me, a bunch of reds, blues and blacks. i think this green will really set this car off!!

Thanks Tubbs, I was thinking about green too, but I'm leaning towards yellow, or a grayish, silver... we'll see.. and thanks buddy, you're the guy from the other forum right???

Rom you aint right... lol.... naw the reason I was asking is because if this is that tubbs, he had a nice ford truck build going on and I was wanting to know if there was any progress ??? It was a good looking project...

What's up fellas,, I've picked up some pieces from Dirt Modeler... kirkey seats, four link mounts and dzus fastener mounting tabs and they look really nice... I had to mock up one of the seats in the nova... once painted with metalizer aluminum and some padding It's gonna look good,... I'll be working on this one this weekend... so stay tuned,....

Tyrone, I think I like these front wheels with the black rears much better than the 5 star black wheels.

Are you tired of working on this car yet? I am still willing to take it off of your hands!
