[@THROTTLEPOWER]

This was a fun build, I'm going to have to do another Gasser soon!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Hope you enjoy..............................................

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@GT Classic Plastic Cool, thank you!!

[@moparnut6286]

I like this kit being that the calls out the names of the parts to what the real thing would be, gives a kid a head start on real cars wish they would do this more often...cause building models were the first steps that taught me how to restore real cars.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yep, much agreed!!!!

[@GeorgesMiniatureCars]

I use to build models when I was younger, then I got into real cars. In '88 I started collecting model kits and die casts. Haven't built a model car in 20 years(if you don't count snap fast plus) but now, because of channels like yours I'm going to start building again! Love this gasser build!! 👍👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Hey, that's great George!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@TerryWilsonModels]

I use the baking soda trick a lot…great tip!!! Tim, great build!!! Your a great builder!!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thank you for the kind words Terry!

[@tjmmodelcraft8486]

Awesome build Tim, would like to see you do another gasser.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So glad you liked the wagon..... I've got a '56 Chevy Gasser I'll be starting this Winter.

Good build, again. The colors look great. Yeah, that's a good tip with the Super Glue & Baking Soda. It dries 'rock hard'! It's great with bigger uses too if you need any strength! 👍

So glad you liked the build Geoff, and yes, it sure is great with bigger uses! 👍🙂

I just came across this- looking good, is the rear bumper upside down?

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thank you Robert, I think I did put that upside down for a bit of a custom look. I did a few small changes on that build just to make it different from the other wagons when I showed it.

[@scooterdoughmas3012]

wow the model shows you showed has got me wanting to fly up dere haha gooder stuff dou ifin i dou say thanks cooter d is that a 4le88 automatic trans

[@blizzy6392]

Those lines running along the frame rails are not mold lines. They were on the 1:1 frames. The 1:1 frames were two channels welded together into a box frame.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thank you for the info.

[@MileHighScaleModeler]

Where did you find the stickers?

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

They came in that kit.

[@gregtraut8822]

When you tinted windows did you spray or brush

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I sprayed them with the Tamiya yellow transparent color Greg. Just a couple light quick coats is all it took.

@@gregtraut8822 Thank you for the kind words Greg, I'm glad you like it! 🙂

[@brianlewis6926]

Most of the old car had two-piece frames. It looks like 2 pieces of c channel welded together so it would have a seam line. 55, 6 & 7 chevy had two styles of frames. A 2 piece frame & a 1 piece frame witch is call a California frame. Not sheer if Ford did the same.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yep, so true Brian!

[@sandykonigsberg1087]

I don’t think the frame line is a mold line. Many frames back then were welded together. Revell was trying to be accurate

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes, I think you are right.
