CHANGE OF PLANS! The 69 body would not fit that great on the chassis, the 66 works better, Now the 69 will be pro street, and 66 is race car!

Liking it so far. Looking forward to more.

thank you, Looking for a nice color combo...any ideas? the chassis one color, the body another. looking for a good number also, looking to represent a cheverlot dealership, or would love some custom decals for my side Business "The Nova Shop"

hopefully will be modding body tomorrow night and paint booth on Sunday, so any thought are helpful

I like both of the bodys, I was going to ask about the opening doors (like why the extra work?) and now it doesn't matter. The orange '69 is awesome! I love the Modifieds! :wub:

the body had opening doors when I got it in a trade, the 66 just fits better, I just altered the chassis about 1/2 an inch, and it fits so much better, I feel like Dr. Frankenstein! pics up shortly

Good progress Eric! I have Several more builds based on Nascar chassis`s including a `66 Nova. I`ll post Photos of the `63nova Chassis later today. Other planned builds are the `66 nova, `69 Falcon and a `71 Mustang. Keep up the good work!

I wondered about the doors too . The '66 looks much better as a dirt car than the '69 did . It should look great when you're done !

car is in first coat of white primer, chassis was shortened, need to finish up the "welds" but things fit alot nicer, still looking for a hot color combo...

Looking good Eric! The stance is right on!

Thanks Ron, it is coming along, should there be a rear spoiler on it?

Spoiler and scoop? what do you guys think? I will de-chrome the spoiler and paint body color, (I think) it is a NASCAR spoiler off of a 86 Monte ss Hardees car, I can move it back to the edge of the trunk lid
