I can't believe that you are actually building one that you didn't have to restore. Great work and good color. I've used it before with great results.

Great job on the Nova. I love that style. I had a 72 SS when I was a teenager and burned up a lot of clutches in that thing.

Well here she is! in all its glory! Not a bad kit to build at all! pretty straight forward,with afew exceptions....as follows If your gona use the side marker decals you should remove the side marker lights from the body,and also the nova scripts...which can be detailed with a silver metallic sharpie fairly easy....... The rear shackle blocks should be used if you dont want it to sqat in the rear (which i do so i left it as it is), the sway bars are awesome and install fairly easy. INTERIORThe details here are very nice! window crank and door handles are really raised which make it easy to detail paint....Choice of two shifters one with out consule one with and the one with includes the decals for the gauages which really add to the interior,and also the instrument panel has your choice of two decals, drag gauages or stock.......and once trimmed they fit very nicely. BODYreally nothing bad here exept for maybe the grill fits really tight and it does lsightly bow out int he center, and the hood latch or trim on the front edge of the hood (you have to add this piece) catches the hood latch, trimming needs to be done in order for it to fit........... taillites and back up lites are small and should be carefull not to drop them into never never land cause you wont be able to find them........ ENGINEI did the plug wires and added a MSD box from the amt 1970 1/2 Baldwin motion car,and used the headers and hooked the street exhaust up to them........ OVERALLIt replicates a very nice copy of the real deal( in my eyes that is) on to the pics!!      |
