Wow, you are doing an awesome job on this little Nova. Love the idea of El Camino Chevy II.

Very cool concept that actually works pretty well. It would be neat to see one of these built stock, just like it "Could have been". Nice work on this one so far, even if I'm not a fan of those spoilers on under the front bumper and on sides and wheels and tires are way out of my style. Still I enjoy your work, it's always nice to see a talented builder in business! Keep it coming!

Thank you. I agree with your comments. I think that is why I put this one on the shelf years ago and let it sit. Just wasn't sure about it. Decided I'm going to roll with it and get it done.

Been plugging away at this. I messed up the body paint. Hobby shop was out of Tamiya so I tried a Model master lacquer spray can. Well that didn't go well..... I was able to save it with out tossing it in a bath of castrol super clean but if I screw this next spray I'll abandon the project.... (Or just make it back to a regular Chevy II with an old body I have.) Interior nothing fancy. I was messing around on the lathe and made an aluminium steering column. I backed myself into a corner with the intake of the car. By going back to the low cowl hood I could not use the kit high rise intake. I hunted around and found an old Corvette fuel injection so went with that. Plumed the plug wires, coil, alternator and scratch built a battery, waiting till glue dries and will run the battery wires. Scratch built an air intake. Turned a piece of aluminium down on the lathe to make a cone air filter.
