catpack68 Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 I just finished this up last night.A replica of Rex Whites’ 57 Black Widow Chevy.It’s the Revell 57 Chevy Black Widow kit.The paint and clear are all Testors lacquers.The decals are Powerslide.The wheels and tires are from PPP.I modified the front seat and added a scratch build seat bolster.I lowered it a little bit.The engine is from the kit with the exception of the air cleaner which is from the AMT 57 Corvette kit.The bungee cords and hooks are craft items from Hobby Lobby.I started it over 10 years ago and I’m glad to finally finish it.It turned out OK.Thanks for looking. 1

I have 2 of the kits, one the original and the other the re-issue but I planned to do one as a vintage drag car and the other a street rod. One day I'll get around to it.

catpack68 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Posted February 7, 2021 Thanks for comments! I really like building older stock cars.
MarkJ Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Super nice build of when Rex's career started to take off.
hstratton Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 Hi! I was going to build a model of this same exact car for my grandpa since he owns this very car. I was wondering where you got the number decals?
