SW&C Willy's Gasser

[59impala]

This is one of the original issue SW&C Willy's Gasser.  I never built one back in the day because I didn't like the Revell kits being so fragile.  Well, I sucked it up and traded one of the newer issued Pro street cars for one of these and what I got was enough parts to build two of these.  One's still in the box waiting to be built.

good job Dan. You nailed it. A friend of mine when we were 14 or 15 years old had a set of these old revell gassers really cleanly built. He sold me the whole set for a couple of dollars at the time. I took them home, tore them all apart, swapped all the parts around and rebuilt them over and over until there was nothing left but junk and I've been doing it ever since.

Thanks Allen.  Great story about the kits.  I enjoyed building this kit and I want to build the other one as the Black car but that car had a different grill and had the Chrysler Hemi in it.  I have a newer issue that has what is needed to build the Black car.

Nice build. A '41 Willys Gasser. It doesn't get much better than that.

You got that right. There is another. (line from Star Wars) LOL.
