IceMan's 1966 Nova Convertible Show Car - completed 10/17

Alright, took a short break from the hearse to start the interior on this one. Ive had the ideas in my head so I want to take care of it before it fizzes out for me.

Adding a custom console.



Here's a look at the interior door panels. Wanted to make sure the colors are going to go. Will be flocking and adding some chrome trim to separate the colors and some PE door handles.


Here's the flock. Not sure if the red is too red so I might darken it with a bit of black.


The dash is all done.

Custom console is always a great touch, this will look awesome i think.

That color really POPS with the chrome mate, looking very good.

lookin great Iceman

Looking great Iceman center console is awesome and that engine is show quality Very Nice

That engine looks SUPERB mate, and i like the interior colors too, but you might need to put the door line back into the trim panel, which will make it look perfect.

Wow Ice, this is coming along great. Liking the colors. Engine is sweet looking and I love your center console.

This is so cool all the colors are working very well together

Got off work early to spend some extra time at the bench.

Having fitting issues with the hears. Greer. Needed a break so I got to work on this one. The interior just needs the steering wheel.






Test fit the engine also.


I'm liking it, I'm liking it!!

Gotta agree with DC, the console was SUCH an awesome idea!!

Ice,
I've GOT to ask, that fuel line......is that a electronic "resistor" axial mounted? I have to know as thats a pretty good "Make-shift" fuel line with filter!!!!!!!!!!! You did well with that idea! HMMMMMM

GREAT work so far! The console looks awesome, scratchbuilt, MY GAWD....I'da never gave that a second thought to even try! It will look GREAT!

Thanks Ice! See before I got into model cars, I used to do the whole railroad thing and myself, I get pretty intense with electronics at times and as soon as i seen yours, here, I knew what it was, or so I thought! Which is why I just had to ask!

I must say thats a damn good idea! No paint needed, besides maybe the line itself to keep it "silver" as they will rust and tarnish as there is a little "silver" in them! Best to say is glosscote them with Testors brush on clear cote to keep them silver! AND it won't hurt the "filter" area either!

Thanks Rich.

Worked on this one a little bit more. The engine is set. Took the chrome fan from the 67 Chevelle kit and cut it to size to make it fit. Added the rest of the home-chromed parts on the underside. Engine needs headers then I'll add the rest of the exhaust pieces. I forgot to chrome the headers so I started the process today. A few more parts needed and this engine bay will be done. Here's where I left it for tonight.

Hey Ice..

Interior looks great - custom console defiantly works-as well as the colors..
The Engine came out excellent,great job on that.. Also the chrome underneath looks very cool.. Fan shroud with recessed fan is outstanding ( killer idea ). Looks like Automatic
column shifter ?? Steering wheel turned out excellent..OOOPS where is the Alternator mount bracket Oh yea can't forget the inline fuel filter-well done !!
