Porscheman Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) When I was in high school, there were two brother who each had 69 Nova SS's. One was black and the other was red with a black vinyl top. So here's my rendition of the red one. Paint is Tamiya Italian Red, no clear coat, Tamiya Clear Blue window tint and the vinyl top is masking tape painted semi gloss black and BMF. The only thing I don't like are the Firestone RWL tires, they should be Goodyear's, but I didn't have any. Oh well Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.

the goon Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I'd drive the full size one anytime. Nice build Mark
Skydime Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Masking tape? That top looks pretty sweet! How in the world did you get it to contour that well?
Shardik Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Nice job replicating the vinyl top. The paint looks good too.
TFchronos Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Very nice Nova looks good with the vinyl top.
berr13 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Great looking car--nice paint and the top looks really good. Gonna do the black one now?

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Ken if you use Frog Tape it's green sold at Home Depot. It's more flexible than the blue or other masking tapes, doing contours with Frog Tape is made easy and all paint cover very well. Hope this helps. Al
Porscheman Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 Thanks Lee, Jim and Carl. This was a fun build and the vinyl top just gave it that little something different. Al
realgone58 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Beautiful job on the top. I'll have to try the Frog tape method. I've got to build one of these for a friend that had a 1:1, and it has a vinyl top. Hope I can get mine half as good as yours!

Now I am thinking of trying it out on my Ecto 1 hearse conversion. Thanks!
Porscheman Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Ken, if you get any some small wrinkles in the From Tape, just brandish them out with a tooth pic. Thank you Eric for the nice comment. Al
tmartin03 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 How about some pictures of what I assume is an incredible engine under that hood as I have seen some of your other builds and marvled at your work...Inspires me to do better!
