Can anyone make the Nova and Camaro decals in silver and some in Gold?

you would need someone more skilled then me for that one

i just dabble (mostly for myself but occasionally ill help out a fellow modeller)

[outragis]

Interested in doing yellow on a back background?

[diymirage]

do you want me to print it with the black ?

(on white paper of course)

that i can do

but to make a yellow decal that will show up on black requires better equiptment then i have

[outragis]

I will be using on black car with yellow and black interior

that one, in bright yellow like where it says "1969 Yenko Nova" with camaro cowl hood stripe

[diymirage]

should be doable

lets move this into the private chat (since were no longer discussing TJs build)

shoot me a PM and we'll work out the details

[tjones87]

no problem Tim

give me a few days to match the nova stripes to the camaro hood and we'll get this rolling

[tjones87]

I am lacking the motivation to get on this build....lol...but I did manage to get some stuff done last night....Got the rear end assembled and painted as well as the chassis painted. Also got the interior painted, just need to assemble it. i will get some pics up in a little while...need to recharge my batteries for the camera...

[tjones87]

finally able to get some pics of my slow progress.....will be assembling most of the kit tonight....

I also tried my hand at BMF'ing the window trim...got the front and rear done and that will be all lol...don't have the patience at the moment for it....it still looks good with nothing else foiled....will have more pics up as soon as more progress is made...thanks

This is gonna be sweet. i can't wait to see the finished product. Super Sport Nova's are wicked cool.

[outragis]

looking good so far!

[diymirage]

looks great

i love the tone of the interior colour

i should really get on those decals

(just gotta figure out how to get the hood decal matched)

[tjones87]

its cool...I don't even know were to begin with making decals lol so no problem at all....If the Camaro hood decal is a little different its cool...as long as they are the same color lol

[diymirage]

the colour should be simple enough to match, its the scaling that will be tough because im basically making 2 different decals

on top of that, i dont have any 69 novas in my stash (only a 66) so that makes it tough to get the sizing perfect

iether way, ill get her done

[tjones87]

Got the engine/trans mounted (this is usually my main problem in building a car) and it went in pretty good considering its not the original to the kit. Exhaust is painted and drying as well as the rear end assembly. Also got the interior assembled, except for dash (left it out for pics so you can see interior better...

I ran out of black paint for my airbrush...so had to paint the chassis the old way...with a brush lol....took longer..but doesn't look too bad.

looks good man

i always keep a few rattle cans of flat and gloss black around for the chassis and what not

[tjones87]

yeah I have rattle can flat black...but with the colder weather i cant spray outside..and no good ventilation inside to spray....but none the less...it looks better than I thought it would.

Just hit me up when you get the decals....I will get this thing built and assembled...wont need the decals until its complete anyways lol...thanks again

I can get some measurements of the hood if it would help....let me know

[diymirage]

yeah, that would be cool,

let me know how big the hood decal needs to be and how long the side decal from the very beginning to where it kicks up

i should be able to take it from there

[tjones87]

ok shouldnt be a problem....

[tjones87]

Got the interior assembled, rear end assembly (including traction bars), front/rear bumpers black washed in certain areas and chrome trim on hood. Also went over the Nova badges on fenders and rear with a red sharpie...should look really good with the red decals....I was hoping to get this one fully assembled tonight...but celebrated a littel too much and cant seem to concentrate on one piece at a time lol...lovely triple vision...anyways...here are a few pics to round up tonight...Will post more tomorrow evening....thanks

Looks liek the side is approximately 6 1/2" from the middle of the front side marker light...unsure of how accurate this is, without original decals I am not positive on where it kicks up....

the hood measurements -- the scoop portion are approx 2 1/4" long x 7/8" wide

hope this helps ya out....let me know
