Privateer Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Ive been messing around with this. Not my normal build....opinions???
dub Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) It appears you and I have a few common kits! I have this Nova and the Vickie in your other post on my workbench right now. anyway.... The Nova looks great! The wheels look cool on there. Engine bay is nice and tidy. If this is your first pro-touring build, you did pretty darn good! The only thing I see off at all is the rear's a little high. Still smokin' though! What do you normally build? Edited October 5, 2007 by dub
patrol52 Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Looks cool! Love the color and the stance is great, but that's a '66, not '67.
mikelo Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Looks good. Really like the color. I would lower the rear just a bit. I will have to see your "normal" builds. This ones looks great.
bsoder Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 I like it!!..paint looks great , and I kinda like the stance...maybe a tad lower in the rear? but overall looks pretty darn nice !
Custom Mike Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Charles, where did you pick up that awesome intake? I just started on one of these, and I'm in love with that engine. The paint on this baby looks awesome, and I may be in the minority (Nothing new there) but I like the rake on it. Of course, I grew up in the 70's when every cool car looked like this! Great work!
patrol52 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Yeah, it's high in the rear, but I love it! Muscle cars should have huge rakes. My dad's 1:1 sits pretty high in the rear, and used to be even higher when the tires didn't clear the fenders, so the air-shocks kept it way up there.

The intake is from the Revell Lemans Vette kit. I used some aluminum tubing and velocity stacks for the air intakes. I am not sure this build will get finished, some how I miscaculated and now there is no clearance for the hood. &%** thing fit when I mocked it up!!
patrol52 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 You could just make it so it displays with the hood open! That engine does look really cool, so why not have it shown off?
