1970 Nova - Custom street rod

[outerlimtz]

This has been the worst kit I've had the pleasure to deal with. I didn't realize that it was an old release from the early 80's. The mold lines were bad. The fenders were badly warped.The glass wasn't fully developed, neither were the headlights. Overall I'll give this one a -5 out of 10.
Then there was a mishap with the clear coat. Even though the lacquer was fully cured, the Testors clear coat bubbled some of the paint on the driver fender by the wheel well.

I wasn't going to strip it, said oh well and I got what I got. A lot of body putty, sanding, scraping. It's a shelf spacer at best. This was more a headache than my first armor build.

Great looking Nova. ONe of my favorite old Chevys.

That is a cool old school rake on this! It shows great considering the issues you had

Glad to see you were able to complete the build. I too bad the same issues with this kit. I applaud you on your patience.

[outerlimtz]

thanks. I have some spare mirrors in nova style I might add.
Only followed through because I'm a nova fan and it needed to be completed.

Heck, I think you did a helluva job on this one. The paintjob looks great, love the color.
And that's one mean stance!

Looks very aggressive! Nice colour and chrome work.

That is really cool looking!! Back in 77 I had a 68 Nova just like this but is was red.
