Nice Project !!

this is a good project,since many years the flashback on the street machine style, with


the différent muscle cars pro touring style, come back to force.


meanwhile the news photos, good choice

Wow! Great project!
You looking for what kind of engine, an carburated one, same as into the kit or an modern EFI LS2 Corvette engine!!!

un superbe projet

hi guys,
first of all i wish you all a fantastic new year and a superb 2011
now i've done a little work on the nova.
after i removed most o the details and primed the body ,i found the color that matches the most with the original.
it's a beige cremisch color with a shine of light green in it.





on the picture it seems darker than in real life.

the hood i'ved filled it up to get a smooth finish.after that it gets a flat black color.



the choice for the rims is also made,the inserts comes in black.





the bumper i reworked them a little bit like the foglights that i filled up and removed them to the middle.





the engine i give it a coat of chromesilver en the airfilter has now a filter of piece of sandingpaper to give it a real look.



so that's it for now but there's more in the future

it's gonna be a carburated one because my feelings about it is that's the real power
no i had a n idea to do with modern engine but then i'm gonna loose the idea to make the 1/1 car .

Very nice! I love the color, an "Yellow greenish beige"! Great!

Daniel

hi guys,

lately i didn 't have much time anymore but i did something.
i completed the engine en put it on the chassis.



the radiator fan that i reworked to a electrical one.



the engine build on the chassis.





i lost a piece of the exhaust that's why i build it with open headers.



afterwards i did a little mock up to see that everything fits.



the bodywork isn't still done i waited when i'v been sure that it fits all, because by the several dryfits i've done is it possible that i damaging the paintjob.



the hood close perfect





here you have a little idea how it's gonna look,beware the ridinstance is not the right one.

so thanx and untill
