Anyone recalling a certain AMT (I think) model that is giving the inspiration for this build?? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] </div></div>
Missed this post the first time. Yes, a Stinger hood with a sanitary cut-out for the TR/carbs/scoop/stacks would look great. Kids at my son's elementary school love my '55 when I rumble in at 3:00 to pick him up so the Nova would definitely get plenty of attention. Actually, the dads react more than the kids do! Their tired worn-down middle-aged faces light up when they see my '55 pulling in and they are immediately transported back to a happy time in their lives! (As am I when I drive the beast.) Now I want a TR for my '55.
As for the AMT Nova, I too built one back in the day. Silver, black guts, single Holley, stock hood, kit mags. Still packed in a box--since 1987--in the basement of my mother's house in Sacramento with my other 70s-80s model car builds.
