Wolfangel Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 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. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 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.

Altered Ego Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I can't believe this is your first gasser. You nailed the stance. Please do build more gassers and keep sharing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogger44 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 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 Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
