I've been in a little modeling slump since summer with many activities and work. Finally tinkered a little tonite and decided to fab an oval track pan for the Nova. Not quite done, gotta fill some little blemishes, but you get the idea. No one will ever see it...but I enjoyed making it and I :o know it's there..haha.

That looks good Tom. I think that's what fabrication is all about isn't it. #1 making the piece ...#2 satisfaction that you made that piece. Plus...now..WE know it's there also!! LOL

Filled the notch on the driver door where the kit mirror mounts, fixed a boo boo on the rear fender opening and shot a little primer. Body is getting close to paint! The Revell 67 Nickey Camaro has a nice big block with a great set of Hooker Headers. I've bought 3 of them just for the headers! Bottom photo shows Ron Coon Resins quick change with shocks mounted and homemade spring shackles I've been working on. Thanks for looking. tb

More progress on the Nova. Rear suspension done, springs, shocks, Ron Coon Resin quick change axle. Also used a Ron Coon fuel cell although I modified it a bit. Front weight jacks added. Engine in with headers done in 'burnt metal' metalizer paint. Really looking forward to finishing it. Thanks for looking.   tb
