I need good front, back, side and 3/4 front and back shots of a 1976-78 Chevy Nova 4 door. Any basic measurements would be great too. Ideas? I'm looking to scratch build the body so pics need to be clear enough to make out the body lines clearly. I guess I'm kind of hoping someone actually has one, or knows someone who has one, but any info would cut through some BS.

Someone, somewhere near you must collect showroom brochures, or maybe you can find somewhere on the net, or in a Chevy magazine? there are, I know, specialist Chevy tuning companies around that advertise in the mags. Once you have the pictures, given that you know the wheel sizes in the pics', you can work out the dimensions for the panel lines. Failing that, can you find one in a scrapyard?

Yes, I can definitely work out the geometry from good square pics and the basic dimensions. The net's been worthless, un fortunately, but the scrap yards are a great idea. I'll have to get out there. I want to model a local police car from the late 70's, so the police museum may be a good place to hit as well.

Thanks for the tips.
