DrKerry Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Something I've been working on for awhile now. I am using a Corvette chassis underneath. It will use the driveline from the Vette but with a vintage look to the induction. I am putting on the older style Inderle Injectors (8 injectors) on top of the Vette engine. I'm thinking of going with an eye catching orange color over a gold base to get the color to pop.
outragis Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Kerry, your holding out on me! Nice, show me more!
DrKerry Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 LOL, it's all I got so far!!!! Oh, wai, got a Nova funny car coming up soon. Just gotta get some clear on it and put in some glass.
DrKerry Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 I'll post some more in a few days or so. Gotta get more work done on it. Still mocking up the engine bay area and suspension right now. I'm having to narrow the entire suspension to fit the Nova body. I'm having to relocate a-arms and all that good stuff.
DrKerry Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 Hoping, I have aftermarket wheels picked out for it. If I get a chance I'll mock it up a bit.....
mikemodeler Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Should be a nice one when done! Is that the Trumpeter body you are using?
DrKerry Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks guys, got some photos taken today mocked up with wheels and the engine. I'll put them on in a couple hours..... Mike, it's Jimmy Flintstones body based off of the Rat Packer kit...
DrKerry Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Ok, here's some pics for ya's.......... this will be the ride height when built.... Edited March 31, 2013 by DrKerry
Tony N Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 It looks like its going to a kool build ! Hot Rod magazine built one, I think in the 70s they called it Novette. it had all new corvette suspension.
DrKerry Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Kool, did not know that. I like the name though..... Thanks for the info Tony...
JasonFL Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Nova looks sick dropped down like that. Looking forward to the progress on this one.
DrKerry Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 I thought so too. Funny thing with this car is I was at a build and bull with friends and I was just messing around. I had brought the Vette parts for another build and got to horsing around with this and thought this would look kool as heck. So next thing I knew this was falling together!!!!
DrKerry Posted May 21, 2013 Author Posted May 21, 2013 Hey Eric, right now I've been boxing in the rear trunk floor area on it. Not a whole lot has happened being those two Caddy's started up!!! LOL
