This is simply fantastic... You have absolutely nailed the gasser look and feel.

I actually started this one a few years back as a gasser coupe, based on Monogram's classic stock coupe kit.... Directions shifted a bit when I discovered one of Glen Ford's resin Vicky bodies on eBay... Even after that, it languished on the project shelf, until I saw Tim Boyd's awesome '30 coupe gasser in Model Cars Magazine #222... Then it was off to the (drag) races!!!! The Monogram kit chassis was beefed up with extra cross members, while suspension bits and rear differential were gathered from a deep dive through my parts bin... The supercharged small block Chevy power plant was sourced from Monogram's '55 Chevy Gasser kit (formerly the BadMan) Body mods included removal of the running boards and hood sides.... Firewall was tunneled for engine clearance.... I also modified the top insert on the resin body, to more closely mirror the insert on an actual '30 Vicky... Though you can't really see it, I pieced together a somewhat suitable interior from the stock Model A and various parts bin bits.... Paint is Tamiya PS-17 Metallic Green, over Tamiya white primer, and was cleared using Dupli-Color 1K.... Decals are from various Slixx sheets... For better or worse, this makes two finished this year.... Double of what I'd accomplished the previous two years combined.... And it's only mid-April!!!! 😉

All are cool.... But the Mako Shark is fantastic!!!

Closer and closer.....

A little more progress today..... Got the insert painted. Think that it really makes the green "pop".

I was actually very pleasantly surprised. Had my taxes figured yesterday and am getting a fairly large refund this year.

Took The Lovely Miss Bella to the vet on Monday to be spayed. She was not happy when we brought her home that evening, and spent most of yesterday in a corner just keeping pretty much to herself.... Thankfully, today, she is back to being her typical, social, loving self...

I'm loving it..... Looks very much like what the "kids" around here are doing with late model stuff (Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, etc) around here. A lot of the old guys my age don't like it, but I think it is awesome!

A kitty from my past.... This was Baby. I fell in love with her literally the moment she was born ( the mother was my grandson's cat, which lived with us because his mother wouldn't let him have a pet). She loved to hang out in the hobby room and just watch. Sadly, she was very much in indoor/outdoor kitty, so when we moved into an apartment she was absolutely miserable staying strictly inside. With the help of our local shelter, we were able to find her a new home where she is free to roam the yard again. It really broke my heart to let her go, but it was what was best for her.

Very cool.... Looks ready to stun on HOT ROD Magazine's Power Tour!!!!😎

Just plain ol nice!

I keep coming back to this post.... Your little hot rod is nothing short of mind blowing!!!

Still looking for this

Actually, I had a girlfriend, back in the early 1980's, who's best friend had a little baby poop brown, 3-speed stick, Chevette that had to be one of the toughest little cars that I'd ever seen. Through snow, mud and everything else that car never missed a beat! As far as Chevettes "falling under the Yenko umbrella".... Only in my twisted little imagination.

Am in need of fender unit, pickup box, and tailgate from any issues of the venerable REVELL '29 model A pickup.... Please help me make this project happen!
