She's a beauty! Stunning paint, it really pops! Those drag racing seats look good with the seatbelts detailed out. I'm not sure I've ever seen a gasser convertible, oddly enough. It's a neat idea. I like the decal on the scoop; that's a detail that immediately grabbed me. The 'flake steering wheel is perfect, too. Very nice  |

Very nice Thanks Chris...though seldom seen, convertibles were legal in the gasser classes but they had to have a roll bar and run with the top up. Also, thanks for taking time to notice the little things. While my builds are not very detailed I try hard to get the overall look right. |

Great use of kit bashed parts Pete! It's nice to see one of these built as a non-custom for a change too!

Love it! Great paint and decal scheme, great wheels and tires, great detail painting of the seats.
And I'm with Ed. Great to see one of these as something other than a "custom" for a change.

A Gasser droptop huh! Works for me. And, as nice a job as could be too.

Love the color on this! This is the first time I've seen the Radir wheels with painted spokes. Perfect touch! I'll have to try that on a build sometime.

Cool build, I dig it. The color is gorgeous. And the seats detail up really nicely.
Is that a blown flattie down there in the engine bay? sweet!

Very nicely done! I agree with the others, great to see one of these done as a Gasser instead of the more common Custom. Especially in scale it's rare to see a Convertible built as a race car, so great to see one built in here. I think you nailed the overall look, and I really like how the Blown Flathead looks under the hood. Very nice work.
Do you have more pics of the blue Gas Man version? That looks really good too, but I'd like to see more pics.
