In case you missed this on another network, here's a Nova I've been working on to fit on top of a four gear set up...  Used some JB Weld and plastic strips to hold her in place. Most of this will be ground out before casting..  Top is from a Concept Camaro. I removed the side trim, just makes it easier for paint and detailing...  A little primer to guide me through the body work...RM  |

As long as the mold lasts TJR. The going rate seems to be 10.00 plus I charge a dollar or two extra for the glass or chrome bumpers from the extra HW's I have to buy. It's worth a dollar to me to have clear or tinted glass and/or shiney bumpers without having to paint or make em, I'm lazy. You Chevy fans might like this one. The boys done a mock up and she's looking pretty racey, IMO. Will try and sneak a pic...RM

Thanks guys, me and the boys appreciate the good words!!! Got a little further along: Diecast mock up below...  Here's what she looks like out of the mold. The HW's chrome bumpers and Camaro glass should fit...  Squirted on some paint and added some stickers...Hope you likes it...RM  |

Sam you might talk to Hairy Canary he`s got a `66 Fairlane body that fits a four gear. It`s a little narrow for that chassis and has a different hood but it not anything you couldn`t deal with. I`ve got one I`m working on and it`s a nice casting.

Hey RM, how bout putting one of these on my wish list along with the van when you get around to it.
Just a reminder bro. I know you have a lot of people coming at you layely and don't want you to feel like your being pushed around.
I love it, really trick look!!!! Something different is always good in my book.
