[Lownslow]

i shouldve listened but didnt want to when i picked this kit, i knew it was a lot of work but didnt care was between ideas

jk its gonna be a gasser

the interior was gonna be stock but im gonna change that since i had a extra 52 pontiac read deck i wasnt gonna use i made that into the new bench seat

OMG the color is soooo nice!!!

totally approve

[mr.camaro]

Love the stock body color on a gasser idea. Btw how is that 928 kit in the backround? Is it worth the price tag?

[Dr. Cranky]

I agree, the color is NICE. Two tone with white?

its great im thinking of buying a second one when the funds are right, its 80s so expect 80s detail it was once motorized but you cant tell after its built.

VERY CLEAN 55 I LIKE THE COLOR LOOKS GOOD!! HERE IS MY 55 I DID LAST YEAR, I DID MORE AS A PRO TOURING RIDE!

[Dr. Cranky]

I didn't think of the black, that might actually work very well, Frank.

I don't mean to jack this thread but this is very cool. Stunning work

[Lownslow]

i didnt want a white white so i mixed classic white with sand beige to get a off white

Frank-

That is amazing work on a kit that is such a piece! I'm sure you know what I mean.

I had two of them given to me years ago and the detail was so bad that I thought it was only good for a replica of a fiberglass drag car body. So I used the second kit to stretch the body behind the front wheel wells. That's as far as I got!!

Yours is going to look great.

Later-

[Lownslow]

yeah that sucker was a chore only thing i left alone was the hood because its bad enough to look glassed

[rmvw guy]

I can't wait to see what you do with the suspention. I agree, this kit is a piece of work. After building one I turned two of them over to my kids to make glue bombs. Some how I ended up with one more still on the shelf. There might still be hope I'll be watching. I like what you've done so far. It really dosen't look bad as a Gasser but, definately needs some slicks.

[Lownslow]

some updates i lost half the engine so im using the 427 from the 39 chevy kit. im keeping the same tires sprayed them testors laquer flat black.

[Lownslow]

almost done i decided to just go with a straight up build to make room on the progress shelf

[Guest]

I love the color combo you came up with for this build!! I have some of this color in the stash. What did you use to cover the rear seat area?

[Lownslow]

ultra cal tape

[Guest Johnny]

Sweet! Love the color combo!

As bad as it is I love this kit for some reason. I have buily at least 8 in differenr configurations for other people over the years!

[tooltas]

hope u know that kit is the old tom danal 's badman gasser that was in yellow,

[Chris M]

Great job on the "stock" appearing paint for a gasser, I love the color combo,and actually picked up a can of this paint on a whim at my LHS this past trip, nice to see it before I crack it open on something.

Also, I have a half dozen of these kits for some reason, Not even sure how I ended up with them. LOL

[Kustom Rodder]

Looks really good cant wait to see it detailed out and finished.
