Body mounts don't line up but no biggie. I can punch new holes. Get the higher body mounts and trim around the wheels. The Nova looks nasty 😍
Obviously had to take the bumpers off.

I did the same thing to my Senton 3s. This was a few weeks ago. I've since trimmed the wheel wells out better & lowered the body down a bit. Used Proline body mounts meant for a Granite & the rear one is bent backwards a bit & mounts thru the rear window. The mounts are flexible & it works & kinda holds the body steady because its leaned backwards. I had to modify the front bumper mount to get it rearward about 5mm to get behind the body. It's a Proline 69' Nova. WIP

@TRAT would love this

Really can't have a all in 1 type car. Like @ahr43 said earlier this year, Ill try to take my slash, or rusty to a local drag day and do some passes. See how I like it. And ill do a specific drag build if I find a used drag slash or dr10 or something along those lines at a decent price locally.

Love the Nova looks beat and beautiful 😍

I definitely wouldn’t touch that body just add more carnage for personality
