Thanks everyone, I have to find different things to keep up with all of you. I hope I can pull this off, but it is still very questionable with my skill set. Thanks for the support.

I myself am for sure anxious to see the progress, and end result on this build. I will be luck to pull off a nice paint scheme personally, but I think I do have an idea finally, guess I need to get ripping that kit open as you have and see what the mind brings.
But for sure, I can already tell your build is going to be something very special sir!!!

To make a nice neat fit I decided to sacrifice another Nova and make the full cuts that I need. Thanks to Grandpabeast for his guidance with this part.

After reading Grandpabeast’s tutorial I decided not to use the Rat Packer Chassis and go with the Nova chassis. I cut it down to fit nicely with the car.
