NitroMarty Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) Probably around 15 years ago, during a Build n Bull session with my buddies, l mocked up a Monogram Model A coupe as a gasser. It sat at the back of my bench for a while, but eventually was just stuffed back in the box and put back in the kit closet in favor of other projects.... Fast forward to a couple of years ago, and I spotted one of Glen Ford's resin Vicky bodies on eBay and decided to see how it might work for something a bit different. A short while later we moved from a house to an apartment and the model workbench was packed away for a few months. Then, in June of last year, we got a larger, nicer apartment and I was able to set up a rather nice little bench and start building again. Still, the A gasser project was pretty much forgotten..... That is until I picked up MCM #222 and saw Tim Boyd's awesome article on building Revell's A coupe as a gasser... That really lit a fire under me, so I dug out my project and started going to town on it!!! Not quite involved as Tim's build, I think it still has a fun gasser vibe to it Supercharged Chevy small block was sourced from the lastest version of Monogram's Bad Man kit. As of this evening, is how the project sits. Edited February 10 by NitroMarty 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
