Fellas, From "back in the day".

I for one am impressed that Round 2 is able to present new kits each month. Whether reissues or not the company is active and shows no signs of slowing down. While the kits may not be everyone's cup of tea I will be purchasing some of them here and there and hope the Round 2 keeps up their efforts.

Fellas,y to e were ... I too have many of these Revell parts. Sadly they're very brittle and susceptible to breakage. Some of the chrome has also simply worn away making it necessary to redo the finish. I feel that some new parts pack will fill a void in the market that exists today. I just returned from the Philly NNL and you'd be surprised how many model car parts vendors there were...

65slotcar, Thanks for the info, I'll have to decide which decals to consider when I get going !

Yes, the exact same trailer. I had the original kit back in the day. See the Casey post above. Pete L.

I'm pretty sure that the double axle trailer can be turned into the pictured with the Allen Grant car quite easily. Revell's Ford pick-up of that era can be used instead of the AMT pick-up. Beside the numbers and the black stripes though, I just wouldn't know where to get those Coventry Motors decals ?

Really cool decal sheet...one small gripe though. I'd like to have seen them restore the Halibrand wheels that the Cobra kit original came with. Also, it must have taken some doing to get the rights to make the Shelby American decals... Cobraman, thanks very much for the review !!!

Super job ! Opening panels seems to be a lost art these days !!!

Great work, a real beauty !!!

Nice work, most inspirational !!! Thanks for sharing.

RRR, Revell should reissue the parts packs as complete kits much like they did in the past...chassis, motor, chassis, body. What's the hard part, they've been reissuing the same '55 Chevys for well over 50 years ???

Great job on one of my all time favorite kits AND subject matter, old Monogram kits !!!! Thanks for the great pics, very inspirational !

Great job on the restoration, super color choice, and what a difference those Monogram wheels/tires make ! Thanks for sharing !

Great job on one of my all time favorite Monogram kits !

Great job, really cool build !!!

I built Revell's '56 Chevy when I was a kid in the '60's, it was probably the first release and as I recall it seemed pretty easily built. I had their '55 and built it as a gasser with the wheel wells hogged out like the cover photo, painted it metallic burgundy with the chrome reversed wheels all around. I don't remember how ell that went together though. I always shied away from Revell's 1957 Chevy however because IMHO, I feel that the front AND rear bumpers were oversized and seemed somewhat out of scale. AMT's "57 I built as a custom "back in the day" and got 3rd place trophy (probably kid's class) at a Woolworth's Model Car Contest ! My big sister helped me spray paint it and there was black overspray everywhere ! I remember leaving everything but the body in unpainted white styrene and using the felt sticky backed paper included in the kit for the interior ! Lot's of memories in those AMT/Round 2 1957 Chevy boxes ...

Fellas, Great info, I've got a slew of Sharpies but never thought of using them for model car trim !

Fellas, It's a scam, trust me. Out of curiosity I bought one and immediately E-bay notified me that the item was no longer available and that Paypal would be returning my monies...

Really nice build, reminiscent of the models I recall from the magazines from "back in the day " !!!

Great job, really captures the era !!!

Nice work, I've seen this model on another site but the ability to enlarge the pics here makes it even more impressive !!!

hpiguy, Thanks again for another great review ! It's nice to see this kit back in production and to see the Garlits legend still alive and well !!!

Spike, Nice builds ! They were meant to be built, not spend eternity in bits and pieces hidden inside a box !!!
