This is a little WIP I'm doing while working out of town. Inspired by the 63 Nova FB Chevy developed for road racing to compete against the cobra. The idea was scrapped before completion and the cars were given to the engine builders who decided to go drag racing with them.
This is a 66 Nova with a 70 Mustang roof/rear window grafted on. And will be heavily influenced by an 80's Corvette. With the LS, interior and rear axle. The wheel/Tires are from Pegasus.

Thanks, no Hemi it's a LS from a 90's Corvette.

Thanks, James.  I guess it's time to have my eyes checked after I finish my chemo treatments.  LS definitely makes more sense than a hemi in a Nova!!!🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏁

 :)  Very nice, J2.  If you had not told of that in advance, and I had seen it, either in model form, or on the streets, I would have known it was different, but not  what it is.

Clever, indeed.
