JConcepts 1966 Chevy II Nova drag racing body shell
Coming from JConcepts is the 1966 Chevy II Nova drag racing body shell. The lid shows off an extensive sharp-edged restyle based in part on the Super Nova concept vehicle. In general, proportions are squared up and features including a bold grille and semi-fastback roofline highlight the shape. Humped fenders in an angular rear-end were reminiscent of other Chevrolets from the era of style. The main shell is comprised of three pieces which includes intricate detail for the front and rear. The front-end closure shows off the single headlight style with deep recessed sections along the grille and front bumper to faithfully replicate the original. The rear closure section includes bumper detail, trunk works and vertical taillight cues. Aligning the front and rear sections are critical, but after a little paint and detailing, the Chevy comes together in magical fashion. In addition, the design team added a rear wing sectional to the project to bring the drag racing inspiration to life. The two-piece rear wing is trunk mounted with a lower support and upper wing with high-speed stabilising ribs for added performance. Included in each body set is a 1966 Chevy Nova II decal sheet, front-end grille closure piece, rear-end trunk/bumper closure, rear wing option including lower support and upper wing spoiler and the paint mask for all windows and rear wing, 3mm mounting hardware. As always, each body set is backed with JConcepts customer support and racing heritage. The Chevy II Nova measures a 13″/330mm wheelbase and the inside dimensions of the body are 10.75″/273mm wide front and 11″/297mm rear. The body is built for a 2WD SCT wheelbase length and narrowed to more resemble the original 1:1 counterpart.
