Absolutely amazing build!

[Guest]

Thanks! This one was one of the few builds I intensely focused on.

[outragis]

Beautiful! Way to go!

[slusher]

Excellent build Lee, really nice work..

Pretty wild! I didn't even know they ever put 4 bangers in these things. Couldn't have been very many of them. I'm doing mine with a straight six. I'm happy they offered this kit with all the non-SS parts. Yours looks great!

[lazlow]

That looks great, Did I understand realgone58 right it comes with the 4&6. I love the off beat cars, first time I saw one I said what idiot would put a 4 cylinder in a nova, well I guess GM was the idiot. I guess we all have bad days. Mind you I am a Chevy guy and some times that's hard to swallow, aaa, GM's part not me being a Chevy man....You know what I men.

Thanks again. Yes, 4 bangers are very uncommon, most went into fleet vehicles. I just had to do something different. I have another Trumpeter 6 I am going to make into a 4, and roadhawgster is going to resin cast it. It won't be Modelhaus quality, but should be cool, I have seen his casts, pretty good.

Wow, not a real big seller.

Nice build of a very unusual car.

[Danno]

Nice. Love the fourbanger!

[Guest]

Thanks. For those that did not follow my wip, the 4 in here is a cut down Trumpeter 63 Nova 6.

I love those small engines - like your Nova! Nice detailwork.

[ChrisR]

Nice. Than 4 cilinder looks tiny in there.

Here she is:

I like the idea of a 4cyl. Nova in scale-I had a friend in High School that had one-And I hate to be the guy that sticks a lit cigarette into your balloon> But you have the engine WAY too far forward , with the front of the engine- fan/water pump brought up to the radiator and the bell housing way to far forward-the bell housing should be right under the firewall-there should be a shroud between the core support and the radiator to take up the space for the short 4 cyl.

[Guest]

I know that. This is the first time I have tried something like this, and there were a few things I did not account for. A learning process for sure. I wondered how long it would be till someone brought that up.

[Sixties Sam]

Great model! You did a good chop job on that engine. It looks like it was made as a four banger. Very good work.

I'm surprised it was that many.

Lee- GREAT build! It's nice to see so much detail lavished on such a pedestrian car.
