SHARP lookiing build!!!!
Mighty fine Nova. Give us some more information on how you stuffed a NASCAR chassis under that body.
Novas make some of the best looking race cars and this one looks spot on!

I used an AMT chassis ( Thanks Mikes Decals ) I found that wheel base fits Monograms bodies the best with little modification length wise just the sides . I trimmed the back near the fuel cell and the lip wear the cage is to be glued . I trimmed the bottom of the cage glued directly to the floor pans. Shorten the firewall . As far as the cage when I glued the sides in I trimmed the cross bars to fit under the hood I trimmed to fit I also had the find a smaller radiator . I really was not that hard to fit. Trust me it looks great on the shelf I wouldn't enter it in a show because of the rivet counters and tech inspector whana be's . I will start one more and try to post pics also I used David's how to on late models as inspiration
Thank you all for the support and compliments
Good job, Joe. Love silver cars.
Nice job on the Nova! John likes 'em silver, I like 'em LOW.
Ha.
Great looking Nova, Joe.
Takes a bit of work to get that Cup kit chassis to work, but you knocked it out.
Great looking Nova, excellent work.

Live it and the silver paint is sweet!
