Thank you for all the nice comments as I built this car. I appreciate it and it surely helped me see it to completion. Thanks to all the decal guys that helped me, especially Greg Holland for the City Furniture decals that got the look I was after!  tb

Tom is one of those builders that you quickly run out of superlatives to describe his work, so another resounding OUTSTANDING will have to do! I was lucky enough to have Tom send me a couple of files of some of his work a year or so ago and if I ever feel that I need my ego bruised, I just refer to those pics

Really nice work Tom! I can almost see 'DD' sitting in the seat of this one with that wry grin often seen in photos of him!

First of all I am a Nova fan, and what's not to like about this one...
Great over all look, nice details but not over done. And the finish is perfect. I really like how the decals fit and the appearance.

Thanks for all of the nice comments guys, I really appreciate it. Hats off to our awesome decal aftermarket for making this build possible.
Clay Kemp designed the rat and roof decals, then printed by Polecat decals. I had Greg Holland (vsrn) do the quarter panels for me because I was building a slightly different version and then I got the front fender decals off of a sheet from Slot Car Fever up in Minnesota. tb

Another fine build Tom! Love your work!

Man Tom...this replica looks GREAT! It screams short track. It sure would've been fun to watch this car run.

[MarkJ]

Awesome job, Tom. Super clean build , paint, and decal work. I especially like the engine.

Super Job Tom!  Congrats on the contest win!  (I'd like to see this one in person)
