'69 Nova 427, wip

Man that is looking good!!!

Yeah, I have a roll of that blue wire, was wondering if it was the Model Car Garage stuff, which always
looks too shiny to me, but this doesn't...anyways...

Can't wait to see more!!!

Geez, I need to stop watching this thread or I'll ditch my armor and pull out a car kit... :D

Really great stuff!

lol come to the bright side, I'm just waiting on a Tiger to come in at my LHS

decided to go with more modern wheels. they are Revell, not sure what kit though.I detailed them with oil colors to add depth.
I also added carpet in the interior.

Couldn't resist...the wheels look great, good choice!

Ok, so now how did you do the carpet? Looks perfect too!

Need to show some willpower and get to the bench myself...

I use embossing powder. I see it has caught on now and has even showed up in scale auto. but I believe I was the originator of discovering the use for that stuff lol :pp
 
just working on some goodies to put in the interior.

scratch made a guitar. just eyeballed the size, I figure if it fits across the backseat it would be close enough lol

Ah...figured it was something other than that horrid model car "flocking" car modelers insist on using.

Will have to invesigate, thanks for the tip!

That settles it. I gotta get me one of those Revell Novas to re-do the Nova that I have right now (AMT) and see what I can do with that. My AMT kit has a Vac-form cowl induction hood that I really like, but one of those front spind;les broke and now I gotta fix that up.
