1967 NOVA FIRST RESIN
Posted: Sat Feb 16, 2013 5:29 pmhey guys
i remember someone did a mold of one of these hotwheels g machine novas a while back and said it was a bit small. i didnt get one at the time but should have, would have been easier to cut up. they are close but not quite there. slicing up that javelin was simple compared to what this thing is in need of. it needs some serious steroids. .060 behind the front wheelwell, .080 through the center of the door, .090 behind the door, .130 in the rear quarter panel, and the roof raised by .040 :shock: :shock: :shock: . oh and .035 behind the front bumper( :lol: not even gonna try it). i have another one coming so i can splice the 2 together and hope for something resembling a 67 nova. i have removed the ginormous side trim it had on it and started filling in the exhaust ports. shaved off the the front valance as well. back bumper is a bit tall, will need to take it down a little. now after all that, could someone PLEASE explain to me how is it we can have an amc pacer in 1/43 and not a proper 66/67 nova :doh: . nothing against the pacer mind you,. . . . . . . . . . . . . just sayin.
