Well, these things are obviously rarer then 2 door Nova's....... Shocked
I've been all over the web looking for decent pics, s'pecially a good side view, to compare body lines.....I found a couple, and with the help of some buddy's in the U.S. I have been able to determine that the roof is approx 1/8 inch or 2-3mm longer in scale and the C pillar is slightly more upright at the rear door edge..
They use the same wheelbase as the hardtop 2-door, so no major changes there at least.... Rolling Eyes
I'll need to update interior panels as well, but hoping that wont be a biggie..... Laughing

I've started carving up the rood section today, to correct the rear C pillar shape, but this is how it stood, till about 3 hours ago......
Take no notice of the door handle recess', I haven't moved them yet..

Haven't made a decision on that yet.....I just wanna build it.....hahaha.....

Whatcha reckon...? Does it look and say...s.l.e.e.p.e.r.......
