outragis Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) parts box special... Edited June 23, 2013 by outragis
outragis Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 I really could use a hood, the one that belongs to this one is in pieces...rear bumper also I'm going to update interior, and I'm going to chop down the windshield frame a little, it looks out of proportion
george 53 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Is that the chassis from the AMT 66 Pro street Nova?
outragis Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Is that the chassis from the AMT 66 Pro street Nova? Yes it is, it fit considerably well. Just a little trimming here and there...
Tom Geiger Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Eric- if you are going to carve up or discard that interior bucket, I have same kit (that is an old AMT isn't it?) that has an interior with a distorted patern on the seats. It's as if it reacted to paint or something. I could sorely use a clean interior! I'd swap mine for yours and add to it to make it worth your while! Void above post- Just realized you are working with a Trumpeter body.. was thrown off due to the reuse / blotchy toning on your body! If anyone does have an extra AMT interior tub, let me know!

PappyD340 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Eric, I love it when those parts box ideas come together, looking real good so far, any ideas on color?
outragis Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Eric, I love it when those parts box ideas come together, looking real good so far, any ideas on color? Larry, I'm thinking Bronzish gold color
Ron Hamilton Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Very nice!! I am doing a similar build, but with an original AMT '63, and as a GM Skunkworks car from '62-3, so it will have narrow (relatively) wheels and tires. You may be able to get a resin hood for that Trumpeter body.
outragis Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 I got a hood in 2 pieces, I'm going to try to fix it..
PappyD340 Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Hey Eric that color should look really sweet on there!!
outragis Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) I do not need a hood, I reuilt the 2 piece hood and added a cowl scoop from a 69 z28 smoothed out the underside...It came out much Better then I thought! This hood was a mess! Edited June 7, 2013 by outragis
outragis Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 hopefully I'll get to this later! I hope, its kinda fun build!
outragis Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 These Trumpeter Nova's have an oversized windshield, I chopped it down a little, should look sleek when done! Before: After:
outragis Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Top was way too wide and long, trimming up the center and front, looking pretty good with the chopped windshield also fitted front suspension and wheels and tires Edited June 13, 2013 by outragis
Jon Cole Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 These Trumpeter Nova's have an oversized windshield, I chopped it down a little, should look sleek when done! Now that looks better!
Dragfreak Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Looks great, nice job chopping that windshield frame too!
outragis Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 I didn't like the way the old windshield frame looked, so I added one from the parts box! primer tomorrow
tooltas Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I like the ls1 better but you are going toured the prostreet look more and more
