I couldn't help but notice the first picture you uploaded of a Chevy Nova II race car was that of Norm Beechey who ran that car here in the 1970's to terrorise the Mustangs of his two rivals Pete Geoghegan & Bob Jane. Beechey was the FIRST person to import and race a Mustang here into Australia. I knew Beechey's Mustang & that Chevy Nova well because I was then a teenage motor racing photographer who snuck into the pits without a pass to get trackside so I could capture my heroes on film. Being the first to bring USA Muscle Cars created the Australian motor racing phenomenon known as “
Beechey Mania”, where crowds would storm the pits and maroon Norm on the top of his race car just for the chance to get close to their hero for an autograph.
So I thought you might like this one I took of Norm at Warwick Farm to add to your collection & to cheer you on as you continue this great build.
I also have rare 16mm footage of this Chevy running at a very tight mountain track at Katoomba (long gone now), but the Chevy got beaten by two Mini Cooper S's. It WAS a very tight, narrow track and it WAS raining - but I'm sure you won't be bothered by any of Alex Issigonis' wee shoeboxes in your monster!
