That vinyl top look… just amazing.. I played a football game way down south in West Virgin… At Richwood high school… And they had a car show that week and I’ll never forget some of the cars that day… And the ones that I can see plain as day… had vinyl tops.. on them…. Very nice touch.

Great work well done , I got my Kit at my local Hobby Lobby , when they have the weekly 40% off retail price , If you can walk into a nearby store it's even better with no online shipping to pay , Also at times the store will have more in stock then online.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Thank you. I bought my other kit from them at 40% off. Could not pass such a great kit at that price.

Awsome, i had a ss 70 4 speed nova in high school mine had headers and just header mufflers and big block springs with that the front end was sitting up like a gasser,posi track very low gears with tow brackets up front , i think i had a old drag strip car,it was fun car even though i was in love with the butterscotch 71 gtx with 440 badges on the hood and road wheels.that kid drove to.but fun cars i let my dad drive it with me sometimes. Because he had a 4 speed 69 charger rt with a 4 speed. Looks cool i like your build.

Mind sharing that vinyl top tutorial? Theones I’ve seen don’t look nearly that good.@@TheMuscleCarModeler

I did one on a 66 Chevelle using a foam paint brush and just dabbing it and it came out alright, but nothing as nice as that.

[@bfdzvalable]

I was looking for a way to simulate vinyl and this is the best technique I've come across yet. I tried it and the genius is in its simplicity. Absolutely friggin brilliant. Just make sure you clean the airbrush tip every 30 seconds or so. Because of the low psi, the paint tends to build up on the tip and creates a bit of uneven spatter. Other than that, excellent discovery Mr. Muscle Car Modeler. Thank you.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

You’re absolutely welcome!

Looks pretty good.

Now that's a sexy Nova ! Makes me want to build one now, excellent job ! GOD Bless !!!! 😇👍🏼😇👍🏼😇👍🏼😇👍🏼

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Thanks! I'm wanting to do another without a vinyl top!

[@joakimkarlsson9255]

That´s a sweet looking Nova. Really liking the texture on the vinyl top. I guess i should get me another Revell Nova (or two) while they´re available here in Sweden...

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Thanks! These Revell Nova's are great kits! I tend to pick more up when I enjoy a kit. I guess that is why my closet is overflowing with unbuilt kits.

[@hungryhoss1379]

I just order a 572 motor off of Esty… and I am going to put it In my 69 Camaro.. I am sure some modifications will be needed. Anyways what a beautiful model.. So smooth looking.

Thanks. Enjoy that build!

I really like the vinyl top technique I’m gonna have to try that.

I’m going to do a How to using the 72 Charger I’m building.

[@maddogmerv]

A 72 charger? I know of a 71 kit and I know of the old MPC that I think is a 73 or four but a 72 would be awesome! I had a 72SE

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Yes. Very rare MPC 72 annual.

[@rwaudby8724]

Very nice.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Thank you

[@modelman8139]

Looks good. For the vinyl top seams, I like using plastruct .010"x.020" styrene strip and sand it down on the inside to create the fold like on the 1:1 vinyl top.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

I have done that too just not on this one! Thanks!

[@modelman8139]

@@TheMuscleCarModeler no problem buddy. I'm building the newer revell '68 Chevelle ss 396 right now and adding a vinyl top. It's cool to see how other builders go about doing detail work, etc. I'm building this one as a replica of my dad's very first car. On this particular one Im using plastruct .010"x.030" styrene strip to make the vinyl top seams/folds and for the vinyl top trim/moldings I'm using plastruct .010"x.020" styrene strip. And I do the vinyl top texture similar to how you described, by holding my spray can way back from the top and misting on many light multiple coats to create the orange peel or texture effect.

It's there copo Corvettes

Yes and No. Corvettes were the flagship and got the hotest engines and many could be optioned up for racing. But there were 2 1969 ZL1 427 Corvettes made. That is the all aluminum 427. That was a race motor and was not available in any factory car. But with the COPO program found its way into a few 69 Camaros and 2 maybe 3 69 Corvettes.
