Started this one a while back,but it got sidelined. I'm just now getting back on it. Here's a recap of what little I've done so far.
I'm using Revell's recent '69 SS kit as a base,and this kool hood from LSM model supplies (Alex is a Kool Kat,there's a link to his store on my webpage)
And it needs bigger meats out back than the stock chassis would allow,so I cut the rear section (tubs) from a Revell '67 Chevelle Pro Street kit,but being 1:24 scale,I also had to narrow it to fit the Nova's body.
And that's where I had left off for other projects. I'm just getting to get back on this one (it's a CBP car,and the deadline's approaching
). I have the chassis mated together,but I'm gunna cut it back apart today and re-attatch it. I'll try and get more pics of this one up this week (hopefully).
It's gunna have a resin huge block cast by a good friend (572 I think he said),I'm thinking of opening the trunk and scratching a fuel cell,and adding a plate style NOS system with the bottle (as well as relocated battery) in there as well. I was also thinking of opening/hinging the doors,but I don't think I can scribe smooth enough to get the window surrounds...never tried opening or hinging anything before-but I've been trying something new every build lately,so I dunno yet.
Thanks for looking
