samdiego Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) It started as the gasser version of the new Atlantis 57 Chevy release. After a parts vault search, it turned into the Black Widow with the suspension from the Atlantis kit. Plus the BBC from AMT's 37 Chevy.

Ace-Garageguy Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Really REALLY like that. Actually, about the only way I like '57 Chebbys is as gassers...and this thing rocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Very nice 57. I like the color and the theme. Is this the Atlantis body? Do the doors open? Is the blower belt separate or is the while lettering on it a decal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Boy, that 55 turned out nice. That color is striking and those big ole meats on the back look killer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not the best 57 kit when it was new. Mine is the Black Widow 150 with the straight axle from the Atlantis kit. It's a solid body. The motor is the from the AMT 37 Chevy. Standard model car blower drive, one piece belt and pulleys with a decal on the belt. The shackles on the rear and the trunk decal, that I painted over, are the only other things from the Atlantis box.
