my first posting with some minor alterations, shaved body , aftermarket wheels, and turn downs for the exhaust.

Torque thrusts are the only aftermarket wheels allowed on muscle cars in my house, therefore, you may bring your nova over any time. haha

Looks real good. any plans other than just building it? Color? any other body mods being considered?

plan to primer it with tamiya white followed with boyd's dark yellow. it's a toss up for either bmf or a black chrome trim around the windows.just minor mod to engine with plug wires and a resin four barrel.

Glad to see someone building a 69 Nova.. They were great cars in their day...I really like what your doing to it and those wheels will really show it off...

Man that is awesome !! I had a '71 Rally Nova for 20+ years with Western 5 spokes, blacked out grille and eyelids. This takes me back !! Gotta dig mine out and start on it !!

Nice build! This model is really a classic here in Argentina.
Is that BMF on window trim? The rest is just OOB-chrome?
How did you find the kit quality overall?

you will have to sand down the inside of the fender wells, take some off the wheel spindles and get yourself some brake cailipers and discs from pegasus.
