I did a ton of research on this subject before getting started, but I'm ready to proceed on it now. This will be the '70 Nova Stuntman Mike drove in the movie "Death Proof". The first problem was trying to confirm which year Nova was used in the movie. Everything from '69 to '73 has been mentioned, but the crew that made the cars for the film confirmed that at least 2 of the Novas used were from 1970, non-COPO, non-SS cars.
So, starting with 2 different Nova kits...
...and...
I will be using the non-SS grilles in the COPO kit and most everything else in the SS kit. The wheels that come in the SS kit are correct for this car (they were NOT mags...), and I will have to scrounge in the parts box for a sport bucket seat and sport steering wheel for a more correct interior. The seats that come in both kits will be put away for another Nova project later on, and I'll be ordering 2 "rubber duckie" mascot ornaments from Down Under here real soon. The skull and lightning bolts I've already obtained from Hazzardous Decals, so now it's time to get building!
(I can't WAIT to trash that interior with metal plates, reinforcement door bars, plexiglass dividers, and full-on rollcage! Will also be trying to source a "tractor seat" for the passenger as well! LOL!)
