Ira Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 Your builds make me smile Ira. Whip out yer imagination, twirl it around your head for a while, then slam it against a wall and see where it sticks. Dying to see the headers. Thanks Joe! So glad you are enjoying it. I ended up using the Headers from the Double Dragster Kit...
am73grand Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Ira, I just love watching you build. This is gonna be another awesome one!
Ira Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 The Forth Day... IPMS Meeting Tonight! Got the Engines Glued in place. I had to remove the Injectors from the Superchargers so the new Scoops will fit inside the body. Here are the Scoops in place. I added a Front Section to the Drivers Protective Panels. More Coming...
Ira Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 New Roll Cage! I decided to replace the stock Roll Cage rather than modifying it to fit. I started with a length of plastic tubing in the center/back on the rear of the Main Roll Bar. The Bullet Fuel Tanks are from the parts box. I cut the bottoms from the old Roll Bars and glued them in place with the Steering Wheel and Gauges Bar. Then I joined the Main Roll Bar and the Gauges Bar with 2 lengths of plastic tubing. I had to put the Driver in place before I could finish the Roll Cage. More Coming...
Ira Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 You said earlier today, "I decided to add a Driver to this Wheel-Standing Wagon." This is the first mention of it being a Wheel-Stander. I'm jazzed !!!!!! Do you mean it'll do wheelies or that it is a purpose built exhibition car? Either way, I'm good to go. Thanks Joe! Yes, it is a Exhibition Wheel Standing Car and Yes, it will be able to be posed doing a Wheel Stand or on all four Tires...
Nitrozilla Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Thanks Joe! Yes, it is a Exhibition Wheel Standing Car and Yes, it will be able to be posed doing a Wheel Stand or on all four Tires... YES !!!! I'm so smart !!! I was totally right !!!! .....and now, back to this being all about you........ Edited August 14, 2014 by Nitrozilla
Ira Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) We've Got a Driver! Here is a good comparison between the Stock Chassis and the Shaker Nova Chassis. Got the Driver Finished. I also added 2 more Bars to the Roll Cage, between the front axle and the Gauge Bar. Added a few details from the Corvette Pro Stock Kit including the Pedal Assembly, Greebles up front, Seat, Fire Extinguisher and a Tac later... More Coming Tomorrow... Edited August 15, 2014 by Ira
cobraman Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Driver looks afraid ! : ) Did you mean to put scoops on backwards ? Looking good as always Ira.
Ira Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 Great project. Always fun to watch you work. Thanks Bob! So glad you like it...
Ira Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Ira, are the "bugcatchers" going to be inside the body or will they perhaps come out through the window area ???? They are inside the body. They fit just inside the window openings... Edited August 15, 2014 by Ira
Ira Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 The Fifth and Last Day...Finishing the Details! The IPMS Meeting last night was Great Fun! In 4 Days, I got the Boss Nova almost finished, close enough to Win a Prize for "My Fastest Build"! Today I did some Touch Up and added last minute Details. I started by attaching the Front Spoiler. I decided not to use the Roof Spoiler. I added a Decals and did some Touch-Up in the Drivers Compartment. I decided a Windshield would not work on the Boss Nova because of the huge amounts of Exhaust in the Interior. So I passed on the glass and added big Fans next to the Driver. More Coming...
Ira Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 Wheelies!!! I cut a length of plastic tubing and glued it in the center of the Nova Chassis. I also attached the Wheely Bars. Here is Shaker's Boss Nova doing it's first Wheel Stand! I used a length of clear acrylic rod to fit in the tubing. Well Shaker's Boss Nova is Finished. Finished Photos Coming Soon...

bobthehobbyguy Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Nice job Ira. Came out great for such a short build time.
Nitrozilla Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Incredible as usual Ira. I can't even get parts prep done in 5 days.
