Title: '55 Chevrolet late model - DONE
Post by: Hondo on July 16, 2017, 04:31:34 PM

Well, finally got this pile finished.
Let's see:
AMT Cup chassis, Revell '55 Chevy Pro Street kit for the body & glass. PPP wheels, BDR tires & assorted decals.
Somewhere along the way, the engine and chassis did not want to mate up.......... after a little screaming, it was decided to not have a motor.
Oh well, it's done......... :o

I've got one of these bodies sitting around and I had wondered if it would work as a short tracker.  Wonder no more!  Magic job Honda, the stance is killer!

Cheers
