1956 Chevy Prostock Model Kit

 

1956 chevy prostock

 

An AMT 1955 / 1956 Chevy done as a Pro Stock Drag Door-slammer type car. The paint is Testors Transparent Blue over white. This is what happens when you have a few projects going on at the same time on your model desk.


You start going going hmmm...I wonder if this left over body will fit on this left over chassis?


With a little tweaking, and a rear wing, cut outs for the exhaust, the body fit.

Monogram 1955 Badman Chevy Model Kit

 

1955 chevy badman

 

A Monogram 1/24 Tom Daniel's Badman model kit. I painted it a Testors Metallic Candy Apple red color over a silver base.


The windows on this kit are tinted red in the box, very cool. Though not every issue of this kit has the colored glass (as the original 1960's ones did).

For simplicity this is one of the easiest car kits to build, and good example for youngsters just getting into models.

In fact, Revell-Monogram has released it as a black (usually molded in black) version without the Badman tie-in.

  • Funny Car Fever: The Birth of Drag Racing's Wildest Class - There wasn't’t always a class for these “funny-looking” cars. In the mid 1960s, many of drag racing’s fastest drivers were outgrowing the Super Stock and Factory Experimental classes, building cars that stretched and eventually broke the rules. Promoters discovered they could pair up these altered-wheelbase, injected, blown machines in exhibition match races—and the spectators came running. Rivalries were born, the Funny Car class was created, and the cars kept getting faster and faster. Funny Car Fever is a humorous, heart-felt, first-hand account of the most exciting and memorable years of the Funny Car class. Steve Reyes followed these fiberglass-bodied, nitro burning machines and their drivers from the years leading up to the creation of the Funny Car class through its halcyon days. He’s included over 350 of his favorite images and more than a few never-before-heard stories to bring the feeling of the class and the era home to you.
  • Factory Lightweights: Detroit's Drag Racing Specials of the '60s - Factory Lightweights: Detroit's Drag Racing Specials of the '60s chronicles these rare cars that still inspire admirers and imitators today. Among racers it's never been a secret that a lighter car is a faster car--particularly in drag racing. When Detroit's automakers got involved in organized drag racing, they paid heed to this principle, issuing a series of rare race-only cars that became legends in their own time. Unbound by warranty and durability concerns, these wild cars featured lightweight additions such as fiberglass and aluminum body parts, Plexiglas windows and many more weight-saving tricks. Under their hoods were wicked, raucous engines that only felt at home on the quarter mile. Cars like the Ford Fairlane 427 Thunderbolt, Pontiac's Super Duty Catalina, Dyno Don Nicholson's Chevy II Wagon, and a whole assortment of Hemi-powered Mopars sit at the top of the heap when you're talking about the fastest American muscle cars produced during the 1960s. Few of these cars were produced and very few still survive today.
