looks like you are off to a nice start! those wheels are Chevrolet wheels, but they are the Rally's which would be an argent silver color stock. the dog dish cap wont fit those in the 1:1 world, only the Rally specific cap. i say paint them the right silver, detail the lug nuts and axles centers and go with them.

Thanks Dave for the information, i reconize then lool very Rally wheels but i'm not sure, now i'm sure, i continiu my research into my part box!

Looks good Daniel, I've got one underway in the same color, it's almost like it's got a glow to it, very cool. Nice chassis too. I like the look of the gold wheels w/redlines, but if your looking to be correct the wheels should be silver. Either way I really like the look of the open Rally's. BTW Where did you get those wheels anyway? Keep on postin'.

If you going to Toledo in october it's funny to park the twin brother side by side for a photos!

The wheels are from a resin caster here in Québec, then now out of business.

Someone where is possible to have a nice GM steel wheels? Kits or resins!

Thanks!

I think Time Machine Resin might carry some, I know they have earlier style dog dish wheels. Good service too.

you can get a set of open rallys like that from the AMT '75 Vette convertible....

More work on my Nova, i'm near to finish the engine, i add wiring and some hoses, i change the valve covers to the one come from the AMT 72 Nova and the air filter from the AMT 1970 Monte Carlo for an more stock look.

the steel wheels, the first one was an GM Rally Wheels set, steel wheels are this i need for my dog dish.

Red line tire are from Satco.

and the body receive his last clear coating, and now ready for polishing.

Your nova is coming along nicely,really like the work you've done on the chassis and engine.

[Jeff Johnston]

I really like this one. I have a similar Nove in progress thats Autumn Gold...darker and kind of a greenish tint to the gold.

Personally I think the capless Rally wheels look good, with just some chrome paint on the lug nuts.

nice paint job too !

[Daniel Lynch]

More progress on my 69 Nova, now the engine is complete, interior done and he stand on his wheels!

Next step.....the body finishing!

[stump]

Now, that's... looking real nice Daniel.....

Beautiful colour of choice too, and the "stock" motor looks spot on....I'll be doing similar to one of mine.

[Raul_Perez]

Yep...another nicely built Nova in the works...

I may have to break down and buy one of them for my ever-growing collection of kits that I'll never live long enough to build.

[bsoder]

That's lookin fantastic!...I haven't got this kit yet, but it looks like a good one

[walt francis]

I really love that color on it ....coming along great
