Lyle Willits' 1957 Chevy Gasser
(click the image to go back)
The M&H slicks are from
an original AMT 1928 Ford Model A kit, with the white
walls painted. The magnesium-painted twelve-spoke front
wheels from an AMT 1956 ford kit. Lyle says the chrome-plated
rear steelies are a partsbox find. Lyle sourced
the big block engine from an AMT 1963 Chevy II funny car
kit and "anodized" the injector tubes with Tamiya Clear Blue. He scratch
built the headers from plastic rods and fully plumbed
and wired the engine. Inside, he modified the kit-supplied
roll bar, added seatbelts for the driver's seat, and added
a tach, extra gauges, and a Hurst T-Handle shifter.
