Custom10 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 It's been a long time since I've finished a model. This has been about a year in the works. I usually have grand plans of a full show build wired and plumbed and it always winds up in a box because I screw something up. To build up some confidence, I decided to go ahead with a couple box stock builds. This is the Nova I just finished, minus the hood and a couple other random parts.
StevenGuthmiller Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Feels good doesn't it. Who needs a full show build! Just build!! Looks great to me! I'm having a little trouble with the color though. Is it green or gold? Steve
Custom10 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks guys! The color is gold. It made it pretty difficult to apply the BMF!
StevenGuthmiller Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks guys! The color is gold. It made it pretty difficult to apply the BMF! That was my guess but I thought it could have been one of those "gold green" colors so popular in the late 60s & early 70s. Steve
Guest Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Very nice. I would have left the wheels chrome with paint detailing.
Intmd8r Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Nice build. This is the exact color I picture when I think 69 Nova.
tmartin03 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Very nice looking! Love the paint job. I'm having the same mentality, I keep starting builds but something goes wrong and I box it back up and start working on another project... I'm almost complete with my first model in years and yes it does build your confidence back up!
Custom10 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Thanks again for the replies everyone! It really is a confidence booster. I'm moving on to a 71 duster now. I'll start a WIP for that.
Custom10 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) tmartin03, I look forward to seeing it when it's finished! Edited December 18, 2014 by Custom10
Lovefordgalaxie Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Love box stock... Build those things to have fun, not as a second job.
DR JAY Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I must commend you on building something I have never been able to do...box stock...I always end up deviating. Very nice job!
