Revell's Black Widow, except not.

 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.

Thanks. It's a decal from the Atlantis 57. I painted over their red car with my body color.

I like the theme and the paint color and finish look great.

Cool '57 150 Sedan Sam.  I have 2 waiting for the future.  Very nice work?

Really REALLY like that. Actually, about the only way I like '57 Chebbys is as gassers...and this thing rocks.

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?

[Zippi]

Boy, that 55 turned out nice.  That color is striking and those big ole meats on the back look killer.

Thanks. No, the Atlantis kit is a little rough. I was seeing more things that needed work than I wanted to deal with.  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.
