This has really been a fun series building my "favorite childhood" kits! 👍Hope you are enjoying this series too!!!!!! 🙂

Man, that is so wicked cool, I really like the look

You Did A Fine Job Tim! And I Like how that Chrome Pen paint turned out! 🤓👍

Childhood memories galore, and I'm reliving mine just watching you build all these old kits.. Nice job on this one too brother 😎👍 Keep having fun Tim

I am trying to collect my childhood kits Tim. Will build them as well. Love the looks of this kit and will get a few myself. Have a great week buddy. Senior

Great build and this is a great idea showing your childhood wants and builds using today's kits. "Keep On Buildin' On" Paul

55 looks great, it does bring back good memories, love all gassers, there’s so much u can do with them, time to build another!

I'm REALLY diggin' this one Tim. I think it's AWESOME that you are doing this little mini series of building these re-issued kit from our childhood. I'm thing about getting this kit and building it VERY similar to the way you did this one. Oh, I LOVE the drilled rear bumper, I'll definitely be using this trick on a few projects coming up. Thank you for the tip and for your awesome contributions to the hobby and community. Take care my friend and happy modeling. Don😎

Me and my brother use to build allot of these. Always a good time

This is essentially the Badman kit , and is indeed a throwback to my childhood as well. The ONE thing I would add when recommending to "anyone" would be that this kit does lack some positive connection points, so that could create some headaches for some.

Looking fantastic Tim, Beautiful 55 Gasser, Sweet ride😊👊, Cheers🍺🍻 KC 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸😎👍

Wow this looks fantastic Tim! Nice work on it

Monogram did the 55 Street Machine and the Badman. This kit has the parts to build either one. Awesome kit. I bought two and have the old ones unbuilt 😃

Great looking build, Tim. You have been really pumping the builds out. I look forward to the Old Pro build.🤓👍

Your build looks great! I had to buy this kit as soon as I saw it on sale at Hobby Lobby. I remember in the early '70s when cars like this with paint-jobs like this were in all of the hot rod magazines. Painted the body white w/ silver pearl and used candy red and metalflake blue on as much of the interior and drive-train as I could. Then, I had to buy another one because I really like '55 Chevy gassers in metalflake blue! Like you said, a real fun kit to build.

Love this kit! The only drawback is the front of the door lines, almost non exsistant. Wish my hands were steadier so I could rescribe them. Like the holes in the rear bumper, gotta remember that trick!

I've always loved the 55 Chevy. The body's look awesome, the grill looks fantastic on them. Especially if it's a shoe box ..they look tuff man.

Another great build from you Tim! Nicely done my friend. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work.

Nice quick build Tim, looks awesome.👍

I just saw this kit at Hobby Lobby. I will have to go back and get it. Great build, Thanks for sharing 👍

Cool kit. Nice build Tim 👌 Have a great week.

That's a really neat Chevy bowtie/flag decal design👍

I can't wait to get my paws on this kit!

Looks excellent! I remember those tires. Came in the tan 69’ z/28 with multi color stripes. I’m going to have to pick up one of these. I already have a two lane blacktop idea for a build. Keep em comin.👍👍

Great look at this cool kit, Tim 👍👍 I think I have an older version of this kit somewhere in my stash 👊🏻 Sweet build 👏

I want your workshop!! Very nice very neat! I'd build 6 days a week if it were mine like I was back in grade school and I built models as much as possible unlike now where I just curate a collection of vintage kits

Nice job Tim!! Love those 55’s. Gotta finish some of my projects, you’re cranking them out. Enjoy!! 😎

That's a great kit Tim nice work

I'm lucky enough to have a mint in box of the 2000s reissue of the original Badman with the daisy mags and fat tires!

Awesome Build Brother, she came out excellent, paint is sweet..👍🇺🇸

All time classic Sir.... like it a lot....

2/7/2024 Update: there will be an aftermarket decal set to do the original Badman. I had not realized that Revell had put all the Badman parts that had been missing from the later street machine versions back in this kit. When those decals come out in April, I will be able to finally get one of these iconic kits on my shelf.

That turned out pretty good! I'm glad that you didn't paint the body - it wasn't necessary. I used that Revving Red on my Monogram "Red Knight Of Vienna" model. It turned out pretty good but I had a lot of problems with the model in keeping it together as it was so delicately designed. At any rate...... I almost bought this kit yesterday at Hobby Lobby. I have the Hot Rod magazine version that I bought in 1986 but never finished. I had to do some sanding and refitting. I'll make new hinges for the doors and hood. I think I might glue the deck lid (trunk lid) shut. I don't have a spare tire for it any way. I use Spaztix for all my chrome now. That bare metal foil is no better than using aluminum foil with 3-M spray adhesive on it! This only looks cheap especially on all my 1/12 scale cars. The Motolow pen works good from what I've seen but I don't want to pay $14.00 on it! No more than I would use it I just paint with an airbrush or mask off real good then use the spray cans. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us to enjoy. This was a real edifying lesson.

Very nice work Tim. I really like the lightning hole rear bumper 👍🏻👍🏻

Wow that looks awesome as with all your builds. Have a great one

Nice results ! Classic old school kit. !!

Reliving the child hood memories is very cool thing to do done some my self your car look great🤘on

This came out killer! I love this kit. I'm gonna build the black and blue version.

Had this kit when I was a kid too at the time it was molded in black

Excellent work on the 55 Tim! Enjoying the series of classic kit builds!

Great attention to detail!

Cool kit review! The build turned out nice. Thanks for sharing.

Love it Tim, I really need to pick one up, :)

Child hood memeries I’m going out and grab me one soon

Looks Great !! 👍 Streaker Vette looks Great too !! 👍

Cool awesome build Tim. This kit is on my build list. These kits you are reliving your childhood. I would like the experience of building these old kits. They are way before my time and i got into this hobby in my early 20's. Im 28 now 😂🤷‍♂️

Ever notice that 55 like the badman seems to be chopped, I always thought it looked off but Glen on model cars with Glen brought that up and now I realize it, looks cool when you look at it that way

Thanks for doing what you do! Enjoy your vids!

The street burner 55 chevy was my first kit coming back to the hobby. Very cool video Tim. Beautiful build!!

Great unboxing man, I really like those cars a lot, they look mean as a gasser

Awesome job on a great kit! My daughter got me one for Christmas along with the Spirit of 57 flip nose kit. I plan on building them at the same time. Hopefully mine will look as sweet as yours!

Thanks, that is a great looking kit, now I need one!

SOOOO KOOOOOLLLLLLLLL . Great kit , and the one that you built is AWESOME . Just built right , red roof =NICEEEEEEEEEE. Mike Espo.

Nice build, can’t wait to get this kit. As for chrome markers I am testing “Flysea” markers and they are pretty awesome so far.

Very cool build .keep them coming.

Cool build up if it! Hard to beat a Monogram for ease of build but all the cool factor!

Looks great 👍 neat build 😎

*It looks like it builds up very nice~I will have to snag one of these up~Thanks Tim :))*

LOVE IT! Got one week before last. I also had a Badman when I was a kid. One of my first which means it didn't survive, but I picked up a reissue and is in my stash with all the other Tom Daniels kits I used to have except The Cherry Bomb. I was disappointed in the Scool Bus it didn't have the screening kids windows like the original had. I think 🤔 the Badman had the tank in the grill didn't it? I do remember that big air foil on the front. Can't wait to get back to building again.🤤

Hmmm 🤔, yep, same parts as that Badman I just built except they give you an extra grill and extra set of wheels looked like. But that's alright, still "Kewl"! Oh they've got 327 on those decals and that's what came in this Badman, a smallblock, it sure wasn't a 396 bigblock but don't matter, be alright! Rock on 🤘 Tim - bo!!

Did a great job 👍🏿

Chicago Tony saying hey there. Man nice job on the 55 chevy gasser! Currenty working on the nova yenko. But too cold here to spray paint.

Really cool! I'm going to have to get one of those!

thanks for sharing tim i had forgot about the streaker vette have a bunch of the other kits building the 1/16 63 drag vette or working on it hahaha mock stage best wishes scooter😎

Sweet build😎👍🏻, I gotta get this one too and badman decals

well it's got a couple of new extra parts than from the original. But hey that's a plus 😁. The car looks awesome. I built it as kid also.

I love it Tim ❤️

Very nice 55. 👌 great video !

such a great kit and a very well built one at that, if only they would have had some red or green tinted clear as an option, decal sheet looks better than i expected, the 55 was one of the first models i ever built, all be it a 1/32 snap tite kit, so i just simply love the body style of the tri 5's

Fun stuff. She turned out great!👍👍

Great job . I had the 70s bad man kit of this

I love that revell brought these back and include the differant biuld. Awsome but the 66 malibu ss 2n1 doesnt have the blower but it has the belt DOWWW

looks awesome sir very cool loooking build 😀

Great build Tim!!!

Great work!!!

I am currently building this model in the black and blue hope it turns out good first one in about 30 years

I remember the badman kit. My dad got it for me for Christmas wnen i was like in 6th grade. Didnt paint it and the chrome fell off cause i didnt know about scraping it off. Lol

Looks awesome 👌

Whatever marker you used on the chrome looks really good 👍

Look great keep on modeling

Okay you teased us with the good-looking Chrome what did you use nicely done great-looking gasser

Tim ,you mentioned the new chrome pen you are now using, can you tell us all who makes the pen,it look amazing,great job tim

Very nice!👍

I bought 2 of these kits today.. plan to build and paint different... Does remind me of Badman!

Looks sweet..

Looks outstanding Tim, The 55 was the first car I build as kid 60 years ago, You know I have to had this one when it come out and I still have 3 ATM to build but always get side track with another build I want to do.Would love to know that paint marker you used for the chrome, with my shaky hand bare metal foil can be a pain. Thanks for sharing. Donnie.

LIKE # 1 ⚔️

I just picked that kit up. I can't wait to build it. Like you said memories. I probably have to pick up another as well. Yours came out great! What's the chrome marker you're trying? It looked good on camera. Thanks for the video 😎👍

Revell needs to re-release the 57 Chevy Nomad. It's an older kit, with opening doors, hood, tailgate etc. I believe it also came with optional carburator setups. There was a Hot Rod Magazine version too.

Hey Tim, been looking around KZfaq looking for best method to enlarge the rear wheel wells for old gassers. Lots of kits i see they made that bigger, but can't find good tutorial. Your model looks cool.

Beautiful 😍😍👍👍

Nice 55 Chevy gasser. It came out looking good. Now please tell us about this chrome pen you mentioned.

Not big on the Red White Blue scheme. But i have some awsome orange paint would make a perfetct Orange Crate!

Belle vidéo 👌 😉

Great job! What is the name of the chrome paint marker that you used. It gives great results!😊

Reliving Childhood...30 Years ago? Come on, Tim. You ain't that young! Great Vid. I have never been a fan of this kit. You may have changed my mind.

Looks awesome Tim. What was the chrome pen you used, It looks great. Ron

Very nice, what is the name of the chrome marker that you used?

Paint marker looks great! What's the brand name?

Great job on the five-five Tim! If you built kits that well as a kid you were better than most! I have an older version of this kit (black with flame decals) that I will eventually build as a gasser probably using different wheels and tires. As a point of conversation, is it just me or does the C pillar look a little thick. Also it seems to me that the body is too tall from the top of the fenders to the bottom of the body. I would like you thoughts (as well as other modelers) on this subject. Anyway I really do like this release of the kit because of the options and decals.
