I went through all the posts in this section and could not find a post of this build. I don't want to repeat myself any more than I already do!
AMT Nova body, A pillar leaned back,and B pillar removed on one of those recently released GTO chassis' with the 180 degree headers. Built this a while back.

Excellent build, looks great.
Bob
thank you
Nice looking Nova.
Rett
Oh yeah, that one is ready to rumble. Very nice build.
Good looking Nova. I like the posing of the race team in the background also. Are you still going by "Slim", or do you prefer Tom nowadays?
Thank you, Marty. Either one, doesn't matter.
....Even if its been posted some where before, this ones worthy of a repeat! Great use of that Super Stocker chassis as well.
Oh yeah! This team has a fancy hauler,too! GMC Astro

:) EXCELLENT !
Two thumbs up on that one! Hope they don't have to change their race number!
Ok, I really like that hauler. I have been sort of going over in what's left of my mind about building one similar to this. So, you have any WIP photos of that particular build?
I think so. I'll see what I can find.

That Nova is outstanding. But the hauler just gets to my heart. I am into big rig models, and my truck driving son loves those old Kenworth cabovers. I have been thinking about doing something much like this with a C600 Ford cabover. But it would be hard to beat this one you have created. Great work!

Another beauty Slim, that hauler and racecar look Fantastic.
