I friggin want that hood, too.

COOL!, love the hood.

Wowzers! Those are some tight wheels. Your Nova definitely has that "Pro-Touring" look to it!Love the stance. Super detailed interior too, mixing old with new.
What's under the hood?

WOW......That is friggin awsome!!!!!! My first car was an old 2 door Nova, dark blue metallic,350 small block,big cam,big Holley carb,headers etc etc.....Man I love it!!!!!!

Looks so sweet love that car with those mods;) and i love your engine to;)

COOL
speakers are a bit to big IMO

no the speakers arent big.. Nice nova! i like those wheels and its shaved :D nice

Beautiful job, Marc!!!:sunglasse I can't wait for outdoor pictures!!!:sunglasse

Great Work......................

Later, Mike :eek:

Wow that looks awesome!!

This is great! All these non Japanese cars are taking over! This Nova is awesome too. Maybe little too big rims but: it´s a matter of taste said the dog while licking hes balls..

Great paint job never the less!

Very nice.
Great stance, wheels, and color.

Very nice. I like them BIG wheels. :) I like the subtle 2 tone on the interior too. Some outdoor pics please. :)

The car looks soo great, except, there's no sidewalls on those tires. I love this car, and Im thinking of getting the Pro Street 66 Nova. Anything special you had to do to get them rims to fit?

Nope. The front tires are from the Revell Acura Integra and the rears are Hoppin Hydro 20s. That's about the biggest rear tire that will fit on the rear of an unmodified AMT '72 Nova.

Super Nova! Great build. I look forward to seeing it finished. I built a 1:1 once, from the ground up. Took a year to complete. Love this car!

Very, Very nice. Love that color and the interior is top-notch.

The engine is the SBC that came in the Nova kit. I bashed it with better detailed heads from the AMT '57 Chevy truck street machine, modified headers from the AMT '83 Camaro Z28, NASCAR 18 degree valve covers and EFI from the Revell '59 Corvette.

The engine block was painted with Alclad Dull Aluminum. The intake, valve covers and water pump/timimg cover were shot with Alclad Magnesium. Headers, alternator, pulleys and master cylinder are painted with Alclad Chrome. Bolt heads were also painted with Alclad Chrome.

Marc

Perfect engine to slip under that boss hood.

I love your engine;)

Shhweeet....that sure looks the goods Marc, nice build.
