NitroMarty Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Had the idea for these decals floating around in my head for several years now.... Finally got around to making it happen. Revell's '56 Chevy sedan, pretty much box stock, only additions being Cragar S/S mags from AMT's '37 Chevy, AMT parts pack slicks and tires, scratch-build traction bars, headers, and a few bits and pieces from my trusty old parts box.... Looks pretty good next to my diecast '57 stocker....
TransAmMike Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Very cool Marty, Really like the picture with the H/Stock '57.
R. Thorne Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Very nice. Makes me remember Buddy Ingersol’s 1956 chevy from years ago (also from Illinois, by the way). Might we look under the hood and the chassis?
papajohn97 Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Very nice clean build of a cool subject Marty! I’m in awe of builders like you who make their own decals- did you use a special printer (Alps?) to make these decals or just a common ink jet printer? Love that you can personalize them (“Marty’s Speed & Machine”). I also love early/ mid 60’s SS because they were so much closer to street cars than later years and I can also imagine most of these Jr stockers were driven to the strip (as well as work/ school/ church/ grocery store!). I agree with the previous post - more pics please (chassis and under hood). I have a set of the Fred Cady 55 Chev “Monster Mash” Jr stock decals to go with the AMT post two-door sedan kit and your build is inspiring me to move that one up in the queue....
Nazz Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 Nice work Marty, I really like the decal work! Everything looks great . Well done. More pics please. Jerry

Bills72sj Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 Sweet!!! I would be proud to park that in my display case.
TarheelRick Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 Excellent build, Agree with he others on need for more detail pictures. The Junior Stockers and Super Stockers were my favorite racers from the 60-70 era.. This one looks like so many from that time frame, simple paint, nothing really flashy, just pure bad attitude and speed. Love it.
Zippi Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Nice looking 56. Love all the detail work. I like it.
