B/GAS '57 Chevy

[Lyle Willits]

This is a departure from the stuff I usually build but I just love this new Revell '57 chevy kit.

Old M&H Racemaster piecrust slicks. Traction bars from an AMT '63 Chevy II funny car, painted with Duplicolor Chrome.

Stripped down the frame and added the gasser front suspension from a Nomad kit.

There will be no bumper or grille so I made a splash pan from a strip of plastic. It will run a Moon tank from BOB DUDEK.

Obviously, I HAD to buy this decal sheet. Car will be sponsored by LYLE'S CHEVROLET.

These cars remind me of when I was a YOOT in New Joisey.

This is looking really good. Nice stance and proper parts for a 60's gasser. Look forward to more.

Lyle, My Friend, that is way to cool. Honestly, I don't think I could have come up with a better use for a 150. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one progresses.

Lyle, it don't NEED ta be in your usual vein of things you build, caz it'll STILL be a killer.ALL your builds come out that way! Although a touch of humility does show your a normal guy. From the looks of it so far, it looks like your right on the beam with this one too! Lookeeen Gooood my fren!

Did you say "yoot"?nice build so far looks cool with out the rear wheel wells hogged out.

Lyle building a drag car? That's almost as out of character as me building a replica-stocker! Can't wait to see this one.
