1966 pro street Nova

[crazyjim]

I love this kit! This time I went with no chrome - except on the engine. Paint is HOK black with a HOK true blue stripe fogged in and then covered with HOK purple/blue shift micro flake. Those are Ma's Resin M/T Sportsman tires out back (excellent tires) and my first attempt at something new - scratch built muffler clamps (thanks to John Anspach for the tutorial at a FAST meeting). If you happen to have served in combat in Vietnam, the rear plate should say it all.

YOU HAD ME RIGHT UP UNTIL I SAW THOSE WHEELS !

[crazyjim]

NO CHROME! I was trying something different,Blair. I'm usually a chrome wheel person.

[slusher]

Beautiful build, i like the 2 color theme you went with. Very nice work.

[cobraman]

I wasn't feeling the blue wheels at first but after looking at your build a couple more times their growing on me. Nothing wrong with trying something different. Nice build !

[tyrone]

This Nova is bad to the bone..... great job....

[crazyjim]

Thanks, guys. No chrome is not my style - just had to try it though.

[CrazyGirl]

Now I understand the Crazy in your name Jim ,cause that build is Crazy Cool , nice nice !!!!!!

[crazyjim]

And a Crazy thank you, CrazyGirl from CrazyJim. Crazy, huh?

[lazlow]

sweet. love the ghost stripe

[TFchronos]

Very interesting, when most people color their rims they do black. This light blue is really something else. I salute you for thinking outside the box on this one, it worked out well. I really like it, the ghost strip is wild, great job.

[crazyjim]

Thank you fellas. The ghost stripe came out pretty well, I think.

Looks good without chrome.

This gives me an idea, maybe an 80's themed Nova. Black with fluorescent pink, yellow and green

[Jantrix]

I think some pics of this out in the sun might be a good idea Jim. That last shot gives us a taste of whats going on, but I suspect some sunlight will really show it off.

[crazyjim]

Thanks - and I'll try to get a sunshine shot posted.

[Dragfreak]

love the paintwork and its a very unique build

[crazyjim]

Thank you very much, Jason.

This has really that '80s Pro Street vibe with those painted bumbers and blue wheels. Usually I wouldn't be a fan of them, but for this one they fit perfectly. Nice paint job too, Shiny! Great Job.

[Pro Wrench]

WOW! Those wheels were a surprise to the retinas! I like it! And my dad did 3 tours in Vietnam so I know exactly what that license plate says.

[Mister Twister]

I don't like the blue wheels Jim but I do like how you carried the color theme through out the entire build. Nice work!

[crazyjim]

Thanks, guys. No chrome is different for me, but I think it worked on this build.

Curt - please tell your Dad that I said Welcome Home, Brother.

THE GHOST PAINT ROCKS!!!

[crazyjim]

Thanks, Marty.

[fatkidd]

looks good, Jim. I'm with the popular vote about the wheels, but all in all it turned out nicely.

looks like the student HAS been paying attention.

[crazyjim]

Thanks, Fatkidd. I'm old but trying to learn from you. Those micro flakes are so cool. I forgot to mention it but there's a Fatkidd II distributor in there too.

SHINY :) RULES!
