The RB Motion parts are for the throttle linkage.

Wow Ron that's a heck of an undertaking, but it looks great so far. Never heard of Fusion Firm, but it looks good on the headers. Grill is awesome. That Nova stocker you built a while back was the inspiration for my current stocker build, and you provided some great research pics in that build also. Always look forward to your builds.

Very clean build. You nailed the stance perfectly. White drag cars always looked so good to me. Congrats on the build.

Awesome, a rainy day here in the desert, I'll be at my bench all day. The intake has already been painted. That hump that would have held the stock coil was drilled out and fill in, and I made a bracket for the throttle cable and return spring that will go in that area. All the parts I'm using are from RM Motion expect the thin aluminum rod, from Detail Master, .010" which I'll use for the return spring. I'll post pics later today.

Did a little radiator work.

Fireball carb is done. Added RB Motion A/N fitting, scratch built the linkage and added RB Motion nut and stud pins to the base.

Painted timing chain cover Alcad duraluminum and added bolt heads from Pro Tech, painted matt black. Made a alternator bracket, not sure I'm going to use it, not confident it will hold the alternator in place. Made another alt bracket, going with this one. Pinned the water pump in place, glued from the inside, the installed the transmission.

Removed the transmission, going with a Turbo 350 from Competition Resin. Filled the seam down center of the block with Slow Zap, also fill the area where the stock water pump would attach to the block with some pieces of styrene. Everything was sanded smooth. Drilled holes for the electric water, as it will be pinned in place. Block is primed and will be painted Tamiya semi gloss black.

This is my version of a '69 Nova that would have raced in the 2025 season. I wanted the body of a plane jane car, maybe a 6 cylinder, with a 350 installed. Car will have electric water pump, Fireball carb, relocated alternator to lower left of engine. turned pulleys and various 3d printed items. Cal Tracs, tied frame as well as a roll cage. Started out with the COPO Nova, because of it's flat hood and non SS grill. I removed all the badges and side marker lights, they will be replaced with The Model Car garage detail set. Also removed the vents on the front fenders. Filled in the recessed areas for the door handles and mirror, as I will pin the door in place. The body was sanded with 2000 grit paper and primed . I'll shoot a couple light coats of MCW white primer next. Just can't decided on a color. Engine pics coming next. All comments welcomed.

WOW, two very cool builds. I really like the match racer build, and you did a masterful job moving the f&r wheels forward, no easy task. I attempted to build both the Color Me Gone and Mr Unswitchable kits when I was about 10 years old. It was a tough task. Yes, bring them back. Congrats on your builds.

Really looks great. That color is awesome. I'm so envious of your Cal Tracs, they always look so good.

Very well done.

Very well done.

Very well done. That color is awesome, and a great paint also.

Great looking build. Like the color also.
