- Today, I’m working on the 1963 Chevy II Nova Wagon “Craftsman Plus Series” by AMT. This kit has a few upgrades from box stock. In the kit you are supplied with an “engine plate” or you can actually install an optional engine (Not included). I did manage to track down an inline six cylinder engine on Ebay that is for the other Nova wagon kit that is produced by AMT, so I will be installing that engine into this kit. I would have liked to put a V-8 in this but the six cylinder is more inline with the model year that this kit depicts. I also added some “aftermarket" wheels to kind of dress the car up a bit.
I hope that you enjoyed watching this video as much as I did building the kit.

To the one person(s) that goes out of their way to give my videos a thumbs down, firstly, I want to say that this is my channel. I will post what I want to post here as long as it is within UA-cam guidelines. Whether that video will be about a car, truck, train, boat or aircraft, if I like it, I will post it. If you don't like what I post, why not just Unsubscribe from my channel and find somewhere else to hide. The very least that you could do is tell me why you felt so negatively about the video. That’s what the comment section is for. I can't improve if I'm not aware of the problem. Thank You! - Розваги
Definitely a cool kit. Useless decals like that are great for local sponsor ads on a dirt track car. Sweet looking build.
Thank You! I agree with you about the decals. They would be good if I was building a utility style vehicle or as you mentioned a race vehicle but I envisioned an all show and no go vehicle with nice chrome wheels and a sweet paint job.
My local Olly's finally got some of this kit on their shelf. Instead of looping over to your store in Michigan, I'll be able to get one here!
Thanks for the tip where it could be bought.
You're very welcome! Always happy to help out. Just remember that the "Craftsman Series" kits don't have engines, but for this one you can install any engine that will fit. I tried a 426 Hemi but it was just a tickle to wide. I can only imagine the comment section that I would have had if that engine had fit...
That came out looking sharp and that six banger gives it that finished look that the kit should have come with. Great job!
Thank you! It seems so odd to me that Round2 would produce a kit without an engine but here we are... Either way, it was great that they at least left it with the opportunity to install an engine instead of blocking it off like they did with the 1964 Galaxie 500 kit.
Wow, the wagon turned out great!!!!
Thank You!
Perfect color and perfect tire and wheel combo. It gives the car a nice stance. Good job. Thanks for the video.
Thank You. These were about the fanciest wheels that I had on hand that would fit correctly. The paint... well, that was a total experiment and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it at first, but after I got the color coat on I was totally sold on the color. The two coats of clear helped bring it around just a little bit more. Thanks for watching!
Dang, that turned out great! That paint turned out amazing! The paint and wheels really make it pop.
Thanks! I am happy that the paint turned out as good as it did. I was expecting a more red color, but it looks great as it is. Thanks for watching.
Realy nice looking 63 Nova. Good Job on it.
Thanks! It really did turn out pretty nice looking. Thanks for watching
Great job on the Chevy II, thank for sharing. Donnie
Thank you! and thanks for watching!
Wow, that is a great looking car. The paint and wheels really kick it up to awesome. Good work.
Thank You! I had high hopes that it would turn out great and the paint really did do that for me (us). Thank you for watching!
That looks Awesome,I love the color
Thank You! That is a pretty awesome color. I thought that it would be a little more red than it is but it still came out pretty well. Thanks for watching
Nice Nova wagon and love the inline 6 you installed.
Thank you! I'm glad that I was lucky enough to track one down. It really does make this build just a bit better.
Nice work on the chrome
Thank You!
Nice work looks sharp
Thank You!
I used the same wheels on mine, they look great.
Yes they do. I have another car in the build pipeline that came with the same wheels. So, that may be two in a row with the same wheels.
Very nice! I knew i should have picked up a couple of these at Ollie's last week!
Thank you! These build up really nice, and if you have an engine to throw under the hood, it gets a lot better. Maybe it's time to run over to Ollie's and pick up a couple of these? Thanks for watching!
@@scaleautoguysworkbench I think you're right!!
I just picked up another one tonight. I have some vague plan for it, and I think that the purists are going to howl over it...
@@scaleautoguysworkbench I can't Wait to see what you have planned!! One is not enough for sure. I have ideas for at least 3 lol
Looks Great!
Thank You!
That looks really nice. When I built my Coke version I enjoyed everything about the kit except I found the tires were such a hard rubber it took a bit of work to get them on the wheels. For my second build of this kit I’m still undecided as to do a companion in different Coke livery or go the more classic route like you did. 👍
This kit gets around! So far, I've seen it in at least three different versions. The Craftsman series. Coca-Cola and the one with the customizing kit. I took one look at the tires for this build and decided right away that I didn't like the way they looked. I found that if you throw them in some hot water for a few minutes they become more pliable and it is easier to mount them on the rims.
These Nova wagon kits are just like the 1977 Econoline van kits. One of them is a Coca-Cols version, one in the "Cruisin Van" series and one as the "Surfer Van". I have almost all of the Coca-Cola vehicles except for maybe two or so. I recently did the 72 Chevy pickup in the Coke livery. That turned out pretty good.
@@scaleautoguysworkbench thanks for the tire tip, I’ll definitely try that on this build. I’m a sucker for the Coke branded stuff, I’ve done the 40 Ford sedan delivery and have the 55 Cameo in waiting. I’ll have to do a van version as well.
I am too! I have the Pinto, Ranchero, 72 Chevy pickup, 32 Ford Sedan Delivery already built. I also have the 55 Cameo, 53 Ford Pickup, VW Beetle, 77 Econoline, 40 Ford and the 40 Willy's in my stash waiting to be built. I'm slowly chipping away at them.
Looks good… got you subbed… build on 👍
Thank you and thanks for the Sub! I currently have five builds in the pipeline and expect to have more in the future. Thanks for watching
Rally wheels, the one from the AMT 69 Chevelle
The engine from the other kit comes with a fuel injection option
I was thinking about how a set of the rally wheels would look on this but didn't have any on hand that I could use. I downloaded a PDF copy of the instruction sheet for the engine build and had seen the fuel injector listed. That part didn't come with the engine purchase from Ebay. I was lucky to find what I got. So, I just went with that. It still came out nice overall.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ......
Thank You and Thank you for the Sub! Cheers!
Nice 😅
Thank you!
@@scaleautoguysworkbench your welcome 😁
Those are full wheel covers.
You are correct. Sometimes my mouth doesn't say what my brain tells it to say. It's been like that since June of 2013.
It's a wagon, that in itself is unique enough imo. It should be built bone-stock, with tires and wheels provided. As good as the rest looks (I REALLY like the paint and BMF, and front grille), the wheels/tires look too big in proportion under the fenders and it's distracting, again imo.
I agree with you to a certain point. It being a wagon does make it unique all on its own. I do agree that the tires that I have on it are a little to big but I like the stance. I wish that I could have found something that would have been a bit more aesthetic but this is what I had. The stock wheels and tires, imo, were way to skinny. Perhaps, if the suspension would have been "adjustable" a slight lift of the body may have given the tires a little less of a bulky look.
Molotov Chrome pens would be easier.
In a sense you are correct. However, I prefer the foil. I don't have to worry about the foil turning into silver paint if I happen to touch it and I don't mind the foil as I have been using it since about 1998. Easier isn't always better IMHO.
Bro, I agree this should've come with an engine.. I used a 396 out of one of my Nova kits.. Added a roll cage, slicks, ..Made mine a NHRA Stocker.
Sounds cool! Out of all of the decent engines that I had in my stash, none of them were GM. I could have stuffed a 426 HEMI in it but that would have been sacreligious. At that point, half of my subscribers would have left... LOL! Thanks for Watching!
I have the Modge Podge white glue, but I would like to know where you got yours and is it clear?
Thanks for the great question! I bought the bottle that I use at Walmart. It comes out of the bottle kind of milky colored but does dry clear.
