M W Elky Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 A cool and easy 55 Chevy gasser build. Start with the amt kit and the flowing: amt slicks amt rear steel wheels from the 1962 bel air or the 62 Pontiac hood scoop from amt’s 1963 impala scratch build a roll bar with evergreen 0.80 rod, and fashion up a set of fender well headers from solder & aluminum tubing. I robbed the fuel tank from the mpc 60 corvette, and made the grill bar from a large paper clip decals are from smp and my spares box I hope you like it thanks for looking, mike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Thorne Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) Nice Ferd Napfel rendition. Seems like I remember him and Gene Moody’s d/g 55 went to England in the Sixties and match raced each other. Edited April 28 by R. Thorne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B. Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I saw the original car on ABC's Wide World of Sports when I was seven or eight years old. Up until then any race cars that I saw on TV ran on oval tracks or road courses - this car and the 55 Chevy that it was running against went in a straight line. It was the first time that I had ever seen a drag race. I couldn't figure out why they didn't turn corners, but I was hooked. I am now 65 and retired, but watching The Storming Bull on TV started me on a lifelong love of drag racing that continues to this day. Thank you for rekindling that memory and for posting your build.
