Mighty fine Nova.  Give us some more information on how you stuffed a NASCAR chassis under that body.

Novas make some of the best looking race cars and this one looks spot on!

 Rick

 I used an AMT chassis ( Thanks Mikes Decals ) I found that wheel base fits Monograms bodies the best with little modification length wise just the sides  .  I trimmed the back near the fuel cell and the lip wear the cage is to be glued . I trimmed the bottom of the cage glued directly to the floor pans. Shorten the firewall . As far as the cage when I glued the sides in I trimmed the cross bars to fit under the hood I trimmed to fit I also had the find a smaller radiator . I really was not that hard to fit. Trust me it looks great on the shelf I wouldn't enter it in a show because of the rivet counters and tech inspector whana be's . I will start one more and try to post pics also I used David's how to on late models as inspiration

Thank you all for the support and compliments

Great looking Nova, Joe.
Takes a bit of work to get that Cup kit chassis to work, but you knocked it out.
