cobraman Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Very nice . You got the front end to fit better than I ever could.
TransAmMike Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Cool looking, would scare me to death to take the real car down the track LOL.?
TarheelRick Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Very sweet Henry J. Really like all the work you did with it.
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Glad to finally see this one, as it shows beyond doubt how good these little buggers can look when built with patience and care...in spite of the constant carping about how "bad" a kit it is. NICE work.
Zippi Posted February 17, 2022 Posted February 17, 2022 Great looking Henry J Gasser. Working on one myself.

unclescott58 Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 Very nice. I love the detail work you put in this one. Good work.
Sledsel Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Considering the horror stories I have read about this kit, I have seen several great builds of it.
Reeves Racing Posted July 21, 2022 Author Posted July 21, 2022 I don't think this kit is as bad as its reputation. The worst part of the kit is the wheels and tires. If you use some from the parts box it transforms the kit. The kit wheels and tires have terrible detail. And Molotow chrome sprayed with an airbrush is one of the best things to happen to our hobby.
