This was started many years ago, dug it out awhile back and cast up some wheels and tires for it. I wish I could stay focused on one subject at a time but this is just how it is, work on what interests or work on nothing. No telling how long it will be on the bench or what will be there next.

I also love seeing these projects coming together. I can honestly say I would love to see another Novi go into production but truly understand getting spread out on multiple projects. The wheels came out fantastic as always.

The oil tank and body have been cast in resin. From this body I will clean up the panel lines and open up the inside of the nose and open the body to accept the suspension. The second photo shows the engine (not sure yet if it will be a full or partial engine) and the framework that goes under it, I still have more to do on the frame. Also shown is the cockpit insert that will slide in from the bottom.

That cockpit looks much better than the old Garage 97 suggestion to use a jelly cup...lol.

I have been slogging my way through the front suspension for about 5 days, I like to tell myself that the hardest part is behind me but unfortunately I know better. Still need to do the lower a-arms and steering linkage.

The headers are proving to be every bit as challenging as I expected, these will take awhile to get right.

I am calling this the first attempt, not unhappy but not happy, I will ponder this awhile.

I like this one much better, I dropped down one size for the exhaust pipe, changed the angle of the exhaust pipe relative to the body and also made it a bit longer, the right side is done.

The left side is mostly done, a bit more tweaking and on to the rear suspension.
