6bblbird Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 I can't believe that this thing is finally done! Seems like a lifetime ago that I started this project. I'm very happy with how it turned out and I'm glad that it's finally done. Decals are from Gofer. Yes, I put decals on crooked on 1:1 cars too!I found the hood emblem in the bottom of the box. It survived so long that I just had to install it The scoop was scratch built and rivet detail was added. This car may have been one of my first attempts with BMF. Interesting what the photos show that I can't see without magnification. Looks like a metallic rat started to eat the shifter! That's what you get for leaving a project in a box for 10 years! I have to fix that.The kit came with some godawful headers that I hated, but no matter what, I could not find decent replacements, so I amputated the turnouts and stuck a piece of shrink tube over the pipes! Looks better (at least I think so) 7
Zippi Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 That's a Bad looking 55 Gasser. Way to go on bring it across the finish line.
Altered Ego Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 The hood scoop and whitewall slicks make the whole thing for me. Nice job.
Bainford Posted May 17, 2024 Posted May 17, 2024 Cool Nomad. I dig the vibe. One of my all time favourite kits, but you're right, the headers are no bueno.
