Jon - this is the ONLY one I'd build ;)

The original builders of this car were Neal Wegner and Dan Spiegel in 1966.It is the only Nova to ever compete in the SCCA Trans-American Series. It raced in the July 19, 1970 Road America SCCA Trans-American Championship and the August 16, 1970 Watkins Glen SCCA Trans-American Championship races.

Thats pretty cool! I always wondered why nobody raced the Novas since they're basicly the same underneath as a Camaro.

Here is another for you, http://images61.fotki.com/v53/photos/5/ ... MT1-th.jpg

It is of a 66 latemodel with a ton of photos that show a lot of details.

Hope this helps you out.

Jon,

Here's a Nova I did a couple of years ago - AMT body on an H&R chassis. Obviously a fantasy livery, but it looks pretty good on the track. Just a idea.

John,
you have a drag body there my friend. Kinda tough to make it look like anything else, unless you make a standard wheelbase again.
