    Chevy Gasser .Its going good. I have 3 kits I am building alternately. 55 Gasser, 641/2 Stang, and 69 Cougar Eliminator. I CANNOT build one kit at a time. I give plenty of time for paint and glue to dry. So, while drying, it's off to another kit .

    Beautiful car! I'll major on '69 cars and trucks, just because that's the year I was born. But I will include cars I like, such as cars from '55 and '57. I've got a kit of an '86 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS because I love that car in that body style (I hate the newer version with the car's lines rounded off). I'll paint it in my favorite color scheme that I've seen on them, black car with red trim. Both my parents and my in-laws had a '66 VW Beetle so I've got one of those to do. I may get a kit of a car that I owned at one time if I see a kit at the right time.
