Really nice, is that suppose to be a quadrajet? Big throat for lots and lots of fuel! :vroom baby!

That cast manifold looks real

 

[Styrene Scientist]

I think it might be a dominator. its from the polar lights nascar kits.

Q Jet was like a mullet haircut, Business in front, Party in the back! Small primaries and large secondaries.

Rock on!

 

[moon puppy]

I miss hearing that sound they made...OK so I know enough about carbs to make me sound dumb...

Looking forward to this

 

[Iron Mike]

Nice engine!

Witch colors did you used? And how you do the weathering?

Cheers

did a bit more on the engine bay.

I added some filler strips on each side of the firewall so those big gaps from the kit hood hinges aren't there!

just gotta add the battery and a couple more hose clamps.

Nice engine!

I used badger air "orange", createx "black", krylon "aluminum", weathering done with oil colors.

Beautiful work there, those valve covers really look sharp.

Can you tell me what you used for the plug wires? They look perfect!

I'm sure in the States a radio shack or someplace will have it to.

Nice work, very sanitary! :drinks

That Nova is looking fantastic. Can't wait to see the final product. Are you keeping it in White. If so, very sleek and Stealthy. Very cool.

[Styrene Scientist]

no white, more of a unique color will be on it lol

 

[Styrene Scientist]

since I'm doing a nice shiny car this time i gotta find someplace to add a little rust! lol a bit of surface rust on the old gas tank will work.

 

[moon puppy]

Nice, if you're going to put some mileage on it, don't forget some scratches on the oil pan
