I got them both and I'm using the '65 body to build my Dad's Nova when he was a teen. His was a '64 two-door post. The parts are wonderfully interchangeable, as should be expected!
Chris, That is the color I need for mine. It was my sister's and she just bought it new.(65) She left me use it to go to junior prom 1966. I loved that car. Maroon poly, 283, 4-speed.
Great build and great review of this kit. Love the color choice for the body. I am so happy that you built this one first. Everyone on TH-cam is building the ‘65 gasser, but this version is the one I am most interested in seeing and, eventually, purchasing. Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate it.
As usual a great build. Love the Nova models. Looking forward to the Nova Gasser. model. Take care Chris. Wish we could get together sometime and have a Miller or two and talk Models. 👍
I don’t know how old you are, but you have the steady hand of a twenty year old. I’ve always been impressed how steady your hands are while painting highlights of your models. 😀
Wow! I'm an "older" guy and this brings back memories. . .I took my driving test to get my first drivers license in a 1962 Nova. . .The examiner flunked me the first time because a light turned yellow just as we were about to enter an intersection and instead of slamming on the brakes I just went through. Came back the next day though and got my license. . .Memories. . .
Very nicely done Chris ! I’ve built this ‘64 already. Now I’m working on converting the ‘65 sedan body to a four door. My grandmother had one when I was a kid, ‘62 though.
I'm using the amt 64 4dr wagon body spliced with the rear trunk, roof B pillars, rear glass section off a amt " rat packer" to build mine. The 65 sedan has a totally different roof than the 62-64 sedans.
I'm trying to do the same. Our first family car was a brand new 65 chevy ll Nova. Artisan turquoise 4 dr sedan. I learned how to drive in it. Using amt nova wagon for parts. Don't want to ruin the kits. My hands aren't as steady as they once were nor is my sight.
I had the thought that this might be a reissue of the Trumpeter kit, but theirs was a ‘63 Nova. I have the convertible Trumpeter’63 Nova, would love the hardtop.
Bumper options..... front & rear. LOL. I can't even count how many times I've had a brain fart just like that. Keep up the good work & never stop being human by editing things like that out of the videos.
Nice model. Mobius is good stuff. Love the detail and really nice job Chris. I love the Molotow pens myself. SO much easier than Bare Metal Foil imho. And I think it's easier to get the chrome trim more to scale, again imho. Sometimes the trim comes out looking too wide is all ahm sayin.... Well what do I know anyway...
Great review and build up. I really enjoy the fact that you mention that, it's your kit and build it how you want . My only suggestion would be for the new and or novice builder. You are a experienced hobbyist, and choose not to. We should be removing chrome and paint at our glue joints. It may help someone with assembly or longevity of the kit.
Real nice. For the decals, surely somebody that make decals and that would be annoyed by those, will make them and sell them online. Or not. Maybe they'll have the same reaction as you do.
The first time a 64 Chevy ll Nova was ever kidded, AMT only produced a 1962/63 then they jumped to 1965, Same with Trumpeter, Trumpeter only did the 1963 Nova Hardtop and Convertible, So this is actually the only 1964 Chevy ll Nova thanks to Mobius, I can't wait to see this build finished.
Super kit and video! Good to see more variation is planned on this one! Maybe a 90s pro street would be cool. Surprised to see u didn't go for the true SS version which would have been a 4 speed 327 w chrome valve covers. Moebius has been crushing it indeed!!
There's an Impala, and a Biscayne, but is that Nova a Chevy too? No it's a Chevy II. 1964, my last year in High School (it was a mutual understanding that I would leave). But when Chevrolet took their little Chevy II and made it a real "SS" the little car caught on. This is a nice rendition of that car. Nice build. Thanks for sharing. Another hpiguy signing off til next time...
I LOVE Moebius kits, and this is a very welcomed subject, as is the 1965! My question that concerns me, is the fitment of the front and rear windows. I recently completed their Pontiac Ventura kit, and ill admit, the window fitments were not good at all. Any ideas on how they fit with these kits?
Back in the time of this Nova, 1964-66, a VW Bug was being advertised for $1995.00. Tried talking my father into getting one for a third car as we had 3 people working and going to school at that time. He said a Chevy lol was $1795! Didn’t get either one . Past dreams?
I wonder if you can build a showroom stock 65 Nova SS using the front grille and rear panel from the 65 Gasser kit, rest rest of the parts from the 64 kit?
i would really like to do this kit when i was younger i owned a 63 chevy2 nova 2dr sedan only difference really is the 2dr sedan had stationary post between door and quarter panel glass
It's strange how as you get older your taste changes. When I was young (I'm 62) I loved the 70 style Nova but for some years now I grew to love the older style. As always, a nice job.
I am a specialist mouldmaker. Back in the day they where made with manual copy milling machines according to wood models made by artists by hand. That’s why the fittings where so bad. Today they are made with high precision CNC high speed milling machines according to 3D data from CAD models. Also before there was no way to simulate the injection process. It was also something made by trial and error. Today there are specialised software to do all simulations so the tool is almost perfect from the beginning. The manual mode ended in the early nineties. I made lots of G.I. Joe’s with the old method and also a Space Shuttle and a Spielberg’s ET. All for Hasbro. Pardon my english but I’m portuguese.
@@OSRNetwork2016 It's not a big issue, I just stay away from getting into that stuff. If it doesn't work for that person they scream at me as if it's my fault, or they want me to tutor them on how to use the software or camera, etc. Any of the stuff out there these days works really well. You'll find your groove with that you like.
@@hpiguy yeah I get that man...I ask for me not everyone else, don't care what they think...I just enjoy ya vids and how they are, was wondering what you used is all. as your vids and work look good, and the vid is just as important as your build and both look good man..and yes I know you get a lot of flak about the rattle can stuff, but it works for ya lol..... I know there is a lot of stuff out there I've used Davinci and all that stuff before man...anyway like I said I get it, that oh it's the TH-camrs's fault he said do this lol....I get that stuff on my broadcast a lot on what I say...cool deal man...keep up ya vids...
I'm always amazed by your free-hand painting of details, after parts have gone through spray painting booth. Disappointed a bit by the lack of white walls that appear on box. They can be gotten from model store, but why are they shown but not included, Moebius? (My build preference in order is WW, then RWL, and BW is far down in last place.) Hpiguy, can you tell us a little more about the hood springs, and assembly using that option? After all that work, I would want to open the hood to see under it.
@@hpiguy Thank you. I thought by the description that they would allow the hood to be held open as desired, but also allow it to close. Not a real spring, but designed to use like a notch, or release from notch. Glad you explained it. I'm like you after knowing this, I'd leave that part off too then.
Nice bud, real nice 👍! I think she looks awesome! I already got mines in the stash. But I’m thinking of doing it a totally different way, one of my Uncles had a Chevy 2 , but I could’ve swore his was like a 61-62? I know it didn’t have Nova nowhere on it just Chevy 2, and his had a straight Chevy 4 banger in it, I’ve got a couple of Chevy straight 6’s I’m thinking I can chop off two front cylinders and cutting down the intake and exhaust manifolds to fit a straight 4, anyhow yeah that’s what I’m thinking of doing whenever I get around to it. Maybe I’ll just wait and see what Moebius comes out with in the future…?
Mobius and AMT are very very expensive here in the UK. That kit will be around £40 or $65. Far too much, I have heard Moebius kits are excellent though.
I got them both and I'm using the '65 body to build my Dad's Nova when he was a teen. His was a '64 two-door post. The parts are wonderfully interchangeable, as should be expected!
Me too. Same swap for a real car I owned!
That's a GREAT kit to build and the Gasser was enjoyable too!! 👍👍👍
Nicely built detailing on the little Chevy
Chris, That is the color I need for mine. It was my sister's and she just bought it new.(65) She left me use it to go to junior prom 1966. I loved that car. Maroon poly, 283, 4-speed.
That chassis is going to look great under the AMT 63 Chevy II wagon!
It even has the power steering slave unit attached to the center link! Nice.
OMG!!! Nova II is my favorite Chevy of all time. Model Round up here I come. Thanks again for the build. Can't wait....
Great build and great review of this kit. Love the color choice for the body. I am so happy that you built this one first.

Nice looking model! Ordered my 64 Nova last week. Can't wait to build it!

This kit looks awesome...I just ordered this and the Gasser from Model Roundup
Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobius! Crisp moldings!
That Chevy turned out perfect, a typical USA vehicle, well done mate.
I had the thought that this might be a reissue of the Trumpeter kit, but theirs was a ‘63 Nova. I have the convertible Trumpeter’63 Nova, would love the hardtop.
Love it. Came out great. Love that color you picked too.
I just bought this kit . Love the channel keep up the good work. I watch your channel all the time to see if I want to buy a kit or not. Thanks
i am glad they made both this kit and the gasser one, smart move sense most of u would bs making this one a gasser anyways lol
Amazing job! That color is perfect
Bumper options..... front & rear. LOL. I can't even count how many times I've had a brain fart just like that. Keep up the good work & never stop being human by editing things like that out of the videos.
Beautiful kit!

What a awesome kit. Thanks again for a great video 🙏🙏
Like the detail I bought a kit the other day and the rear axle and springs were all moulded into the floor I hate that
I have a couple on order,it's a hot seller from what i've heard.
Great review and build up. I really enjoy the fact that you mention that, it's your kit and build it how you want .

You're the Wilson of model building. Home Improvement we saw his eyes and hat. We just see your hands. 🤣
Excellent build and presentation as always Chris!! Great color choices 👌!
Super cool build can’t wait to see what you do with the gasser, I’m waiting for the gasser to get to oz, cheers to you 👍🇦🇺
Man this looks like a nice kit
SSWWEEETT Lil Car Chris ‼️🤗👍👍, God Bless All.
Awsome it's on my list of mudt haves like wagon too
Awesome looking kit! I really need to get my hands on one soon!🙂👍
You always make it look so easy I will be buying the NOVA kits from MODELROUNDUP
Great looking car - love the color again. Thanks.
Great looking model. I am going to add that to my list. I like your color choice for the body. Looks very close to the GM color for that year.
Nice build as usual Chris
Nice job Chris looks good! When I was growing up Nova was a low cost compact. Now they are collectible and cool. They were underrated. 👍🏻
Real nice. For the decals, surely somebody that make decals and that would be annoyed by those, will make them and sell them online. Or not. Maybe they'll have the same reaction as you do.
Maroon, my high school color. Great looking build Chris.
Great stuff mate👍🏼
Great review and always an awesome build. Thanks.maroon looks great.if I find one be coming home with me.loving the nova kits.peace

1964 ONLY HAD A 283 ENGINE OPTION, NO 327 TILL '65!!
Great build. Thanks for sharing, Chris. Regards from Brasil.
That turned out lovely Chris I might have to look at getting that kit
Looks nice can't wait to get mine in.

Love these kit's nice build buddy only thing I don't like are the wheels wish they would have put two sets in em but that's jmo
Nice kit build love the color of the car and interior I recently started a revell black widow but you know how school is lol
I LOVE Moebius kits, and this is a very welcomed subject, as is the 1965! My question that concerns me, is the fitment of the front and rear windows. I recently completed their Pontiac Ventura kit, and ill admit, the window fitments were not good at all. Any ideas on how they fit with these kits?
I put the glass in on camera, glue it in place on camera and even talk about how it fits in this very video.
Really cool build up Chris stay safe and kutgw

Does any company make current year
models?
I always glue those type of wheel assembies. If not they always look wonky.
Some w/walls & license plates would really finish it off.
I wonder if you can build a showroom stock 65 Nova SS using the front grille and rear panel from the 65 Gasser kit, rest rest of the parts from the 64 kit?
I know it sounds like a broken record, but nice build Chris. TY.
A record everyone likes to hear! Thanks!
i would really like to do this kit when i was younger i owned a 63 chevy2 nova 2dr sedan only difference really is the 2dr sedan had stationary post between door and quarter panel glass
I'm sorry and I'm sure you answered this question a million times but what is the liquid cement you are using? Thanks in advance.

1962 was the first year of the Chevy II. 100, 200 and 300 models don't have the Nova emblem. That was the 400 model.
what type of brush on glue are you using that sets up so quickly for you
So I've noticed the cars are a lot shinier and the end build , what do u use to polish then
Would that body fit the 67 nova pro street frame?
I find it odd, the box art has whitewalls and Moebius doesn't include decals (at least) for the tires. No big deal, but.
where do you get those orange clamps that you use on your models to hold parts when glued. thanks a lot
I'd have to put Cragars on mine...those hubcaps don't do anything for me lol 😆
Oh yeah!
Great job! How long does it take for the Molotow pant or ink to dry or does it?
About 20 minutes in my dehydrator at 100 degrees.
Or a few hours at room temp, sometimes overnight on big parts.
What brand was the engine orange-red you used? Could not tell.
It's a spray paint called VHT from Autozone, engine paint.
Wow
I was waiting on that bluegrass music
Sounds like steve to me
1964 Chevy II. (NOVA)
For me it's the gasser.
Mobius and AMT are very very expensive here in the UK. That kit will be around £40 or $65. Far too much, I have heard Moebius kits are excellent though.
Chirs i love that nova kit the tires and rims kinda look stupid
Custom made fit baby moons white letter tires
I don't want u to think I'm a noob, I've have been painting real cars for 30yrs ,
