Thanks to Wayne I have a new 55 Chevy to start cutting up :) These kits are harder to find than others, but can be had.
It has been a long time since I built one of these and look forward in seeing what old bucket of bolts we can create.

We know what is possible with these kits. Many folks have made some great cars from them. Here is one of mine and a pair from Mark Thomas.

With the chassis and other slot jewelry we have today. I am hoping we can make a decent runner.
Stay tuned... :music-rockout:

Nice score Harry! I only have one 55, and its one of my favorites. The nice thing about that hole in the hood, was being able to round it out for an air cleaner to stick through.

Is Ray's email working? Tried several times lately and hear nothing back. Must be on my end as usual though.
I almost want to wait for this new "Fairground Series"...but I can't help myself, the Dremel needs me :)
