Jantrix Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) I should really be calling this one, Left Overs. Because it sure is. She came to life from my parted out 1/24 kits. The kit really lends itself to a classic gasser very well. The straight axle and rear wheels/tires are from the Boothill Express, the I-6 from the Monogram '53 Chevy coupe. It has some great speed parts. Without further ado............some shiny just for Jim. Edited April 14, 2013 by Jantrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Nice model. Great paint and the 6 is a nice change. I like the fact it's not an over-the-top style gasser, it's something you might have actually seen back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks everyone. I'm glad you like it. I did do a bit of research. Straight sixes were in fact raced in gassers, and since the '53 came with such a nice one it was a no brainer. I really had to pull it against the firewall to get it to fit though.
