Thanks Dennis and Joe, and for the heads up on the headlight trim! I have a pretty big junkyard of old parts and kits, so I was digging around for some pieces and ran across this 392 Chrysler Fire Power HEMI so change of plans and adding a little more nostalgia will tear down the 392 and rebuild it with wiring and fuel lines and see if I can scare up a Lakewood blow proof bell housing and bolt a Hemi 4 speed box to it, found 1 header that may work and a gas pedal. I must have started this 57 Chevy kit somewhere along the line and figure why not work on it as well. Back in 73 when I was 18 I bought a 56 210 Sedan off a neighbor, it was an Ex Gasser and had the engine set back thru the firewall, Tilt glass front end and a 3/4 ton Chevy rear axle with 5:38 gears(when I got it it needed a lot of work and a drive train) but the body was rust free. Another neighbor a block over had a 33 Ply Coupe with a 92 Hemi in it and sold the motor to me, but it never made it into the 56(put a 301 small block in it).(392 and 440 parts in trunk)

Hi everyone, after many years of being away from from building kits, I have had a renewed interest in seeing what I can do. I had this Revell 54 55 57 Chevy triple "Hot Rod" kit laying around for years and figured I would start with the 54. I have always wanted a 1/1 gasser for on the street, so I am going to build the 54 as I would want a 1/1..Being into MoPars I will put a blown 426 Jo Han Hemi in it. I debated for a couple days if I wanted to leave the body side chrome trim on or not, knowing I will radius the rear wheel wells, the decision was made to remove the trim and work out all the sharp casting lines. Plans for now are to finish it in Primer Gray
