I was just wondering if there is a resin cast of this model? I bought AMT's 72' Nova, and the front is diffrent from the 73-74 model, and I noticed that the front fenders are separate pieces from the body, did AMT previously make the car? Because the only noticable exterior parts are the fenders, front facial, hood, and rear facial with bumper! So would this be the reason why they changed the fenders?
If there are no existing parts, I guess I'll have to modify the existing parts.

You'll have to make the conversion yourself, as the kit you have is the only Nova made from that era. You'll need to do new grille, work on the fenders, new bumpers, taillights. I have seen one done by a woman named "Mustanggal" who posts on the Hobby Heaven message board. If you posted a question there for her to see if she has pictures/hints on the conversion, I'm sure she can at least get you started. She did a nice job on hers, I believe it was a yellow '73. She sells her models on Ebay, that's where I saw the pics, and I'm pretty sure she saves pics of her buildups.

Thanks for posting! I'm trying to replicate a car that my father once had, so I'll make sure to sign up at the hobby heaven board right now!
