Dem Brudders review of Mr Gasser
Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was an American artist, cartoonist, illustrator, custom car designer, pinstriper, and builder. He created the hot rod icon Rat Fink and other Fink characters. Roth was a key figure in Southern California's Kustom Kulture and hot rod movement of the late 1950s and 1960s. By the August 1959 issue of Car Craft his airbrushed Weirdo shirts had become a full-blown craze. His many show rods later became some of Revell's most popular model kits.

Fun kit!
Building this kit was a great distraction from building my regular stock models. I loved these kits when I was a kid. Everything was as advertised. I decided to order the Drag Nut kit.

model of Mr. Gasser
Hello everyone. If you contact Atlantis models on the internet they will send you missing parts - or decals from their purchased kits free of charge. I was missing a tread from an old aurora kit - the Stalin tank that I had built over forty years ago with the missing part. I contacted the company that had obtained permission to reproduce the kit. They had the missing part and it was sent to me in the mail. Great guys and it is an American company reproducing the old kits. So check them out especially the guy who is missing the decals for 'Mr. Gasser'. Please note: I am promoting this company freely without compensation. Just want to help out. Chris

Actually, Mr. Gasser should be light blue
The original Revell model kit from the 60's was in light blue not red. It was Revell.com that changed to red. I also met a man at the Sacramento Autorama the had a Mr. Gasser 1957 Chevy made real. It was painted by one Ed Roth's sons and for that reason Mr. Gasser logos could be on the car. It wasn't blown; but it had it's original hood. It did have a nice engine. It started with a chrome reversed wheels with it inner wheel portioned painted light blue. The bullets and outer were left chrome. The next year it had something like American Racing Tor-Q-Thrust mags. The car was said as a daily driver and needed a new paint job when he was a regular customer at 7800 Green Back Lane, Citrus Heights, Ca 95610. I was to help him on the body which was going to be painted vermillion; but I had to leave to Georgia to take care of my dad. I still had his card, but I couldn't reach him. He might of died.

The box reads that decals are supplied but I did not see them in the box.
