"Yellow Jacket" 57 Chevy Gasser

[Wolfangel]

I finally finished my 57 Chevy gasser (look in the WIP for progress pictures).  There was a lot done to this kit......scratch built front suspension with poseable steering, front gas tank mount, scratch built battery tray, radiused rear wheel openings, the rear suspension is a combination of NASCAR Craftsman truck and '41 Willys ladder bars, aluminum driaveshaft, computer made decals and a host of little things from other kits.  I really enjoyed this build.  This is my first gasser model I have ever built.  I might build more.

Top notch looking Drag car.  Love the old Gassers.  Great Job.

I really like the yellow jacket theme you did a great job

Beautiful Gasser, one of my favorite classes of drag cars. Your scratchbuilt parts are very convincing and add to the overall look of the car. And the front end is not in the nose-bleed area.  Very well done.

Superb build of that kit...

[Altered Ego]

I can't believe this is your first gasser.  You nailed the stance.  Please do build more gassers and keep sharing them!

Fan-FREAKIN-tastic!!! ??????

This is without a doubt the coolest build of that old MPC flip-nose kit that I ever recall seeing!

[majel]

Great looking gasser, very well done!

[Lobo2me]

You should build many more based on a review of your first Gasser effort. Very nicely done in all respects!

Sweet old gasser...Like them old drag cars...

This has the look of the local racer of the 60's and early 70's. Great ob. I'm curious as to what printer you used to print the decals.

[Rattlecan Dan]

Great-looking Gasser Marcus. Nice work.

[Joe McDonald]

Nailed it! VERY cool build, well done!

[bogger44]

Oh man do I like this build!  Stance is excellent and looks like she's ready to rip down the track.  Gassers are so cool, and yes, please build more in the future.

What a neat and very believable gasser!  I love the idea of gluing small strips of plastic on the edge of the flip front to help guide it into position.  I have an unpainted built-up in my collection that I plan to build with a Badman theme.  I'm definitely using your idea on that one!

Cheers
