Hodrodz Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 (edited) Just completed this nova after working on it in my spare time for about 4 months. Opened the doors and trunk, scratchbuilt door and trunk hinges. Added wires and hoses to engine along with my first time making an oil dipstick and scratchbuilt functional hood hinges. Plumbed in brake and fuel lines and scratchbuilt a complete 4 link rear suspension. The interior is flocked and detail painted. Added in a headliner and an ignition key. Window and door trim is molotow. Wheels are salt flats from Texas 3D customs. Calling this one done other than a couple of small touch ups. Thanks for looking. Edited September 14, 2024 by Hodrodz 10
STU111 Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 I’m loving this one! I admire the creativity and effort in the scratch built extra detail and how the butternut yellow paint and saddle interior trim look together . ?? 1
Bullybeef Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 Wow, I’m impressed by the fitment of the doors and trunk, your model has better panel gap than some cars I’ve seen 1:1. 1
espo Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 Beautiful looking body work and paint. The long side decals must have been hard to get this straight. Very nice looking interior and the engine detailing looks great. Like the suspension and chassis detailing. 1

Very Nice build!! ....remember seeing these in the '70s...wished my hardest to be older, by the time I could drive they had already either met their demise or rat-holed in someone's collection. 1
ncbuckeye67 Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 That's a lot of amazing detail to take in. Wow, I just keep finding more & more to look at! 1

Bills72sj Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Well done on opening the doors. I am not brave enough to attempt that feat. 1
Koellefornia Kid Posted September 16, 2024 Posted September 16, 2024 Really like what I see here! Eye candy! 1
Chinacar Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 Pretty serious engineering there with all the opening parts. Well done James, really nice finished model. 1
