1955 Chevy AWB drag car ?

[Greg Myers]

Lookin good.

[cobraman]

Just a mock up , still plenty to do . Some may say too high in the front and I will have to agree but not sure I want to mess with it at this stage .

Aww, the front's not too high, you just need to jack up the rear end some and add taller slicks.

Looking good. Its your model do it the way you want it.

[slusher]

Looks fantastic Ray, color, stance, and decals!

[cobraman]

Thanks guys. I really didn't want it this high but I messed up with my early mock ups. Been building over 50 years and you would think I would know better than to make stupid errors. I guess I do not !

[bobthehobbyguy]

Any pictures of the chassis. What did you use f or front axle.

[Greg Myers]

Naw. Not too high.

[cobraman]

Thanks.  I just shortened the kit chassis. As it has all the detail molded in the underside is not a thing of beauty. Front end is resin springs with plastic rod axle. No high tech for this old guy.

Here it is with all its warts .

very nice work

 That's pretty slick Ray, love the tear drop hood!

[crazyjim]

Looks very cool to me.

[cobraman]

Thanks much fellows.

[shoopdog]

Great job there Ray! Love your color choice.

[slusher]

Fantastic looking drag racer, Ray! I really like it!

[cobraman]

Thanks Keith and Carl.

[Modlbldr]

Looks great! I've been wanting to do this with a spare 55 Sedan that I have. May have to give it a go.

Later-

Nice work Ray.

[fivesuns]

I think it is great.  Will look super on the shelf.  I would love to see a picture of the undercarriage.

[signguy2108]

Maybe for arguments sake, the frt is a little too high, maybe the w/well could have been a little further forward, but a great looking model as is. I love the color and the decals.  here is one that sits abandon in an arkansas salvage yard....altered w/b and still got the straight axle and no, not for sale

Thanks a lot fellows.
