Hello everyone, Let me start by saying I watch in awe the models that are being built here. I have been building on and off as time allows since I was a kid. Here is a nova I have started that is well beyond what I have ever attempted. I am following a few different styles from this board as I'm sure ya'll can tell.

Hope the pics work

WOW! Lets jump in with both feet! Open doors,cut away front clip. Nice work so far. How about some details so I can copy this. Like kit, chassis,etc.

I used the 55 pro sportsman chassis. the cage is too tall for the nova body so I will have to make the main hoop. I bought the scoop from comp resisns. I want to use Pro Track front wheels and dont know what I'm gonna do about the rear wheels. I dont like the wheels that come in the kit. This is not the first try, I have pieces of two chassis from failed attempts.

The cowl of the nova got messed up when I cut off the clip so I took it off and added it to the hood so the hood will go all the way back to the windshield. I guess I will black the edges of the glass out to look like lexan where it meets the firewall. Does anyone make resin or machined wheels that match the pro track magnums? I found the front wheels but didnt see anything for the rear.
