This is my long term attempt to build my version of Mike Finnagan's Blasphemi. A '55 Chevy gasser that runs a 8.52 @ 161 MPH in the quarter mile. That's fast! Normally, I build everything else that is stock or mostly stock and this one is a Chevy with a Mopar 528 CI Hemi in it, so it might qualify as a build by me. I am still searching my parts box for parts and I need to find a satin black for the body which also has a flip front end. My thanks to Doug Estabrook for the kit!    More Blasphemi to come... |

Thanks Les! I'm not into drag cars or Chevys for that matter, but this project appealed to me.

Oh yeah, that 55 is awesome! The Road Kill show is one of my favorites, those guys are crazy! Can't wait to see the build ,Mike.

Thanks Mike! I love Roadkill! It is a better show than Top Gear with all of its stupid stunts.

I have made a change. I happen to have found a 1/24 scale '55 Chevy Gasser also known as the Monogram '55 Chevy Street Machine. This should help me a lot better than the AMT '55 Chevy Bel Air Street Machine kit that I received earlier in 2021. I have my Hemi engine with it many hop-ups, but this will not be an exact copy of Blasphemi. It may be close, but not exact.    More Blasphemi to come... |

In case you may have been wondering, I have not abandoned my Blasphemi project. With the passing of a member of the Classic Plastic Model Club, I have a need to work on Blasphemi and finish it for our Expo in October. Our late member had a love for '55 Chevys and the goal is for me to finish mine for our Show. I assembled the wheels and tires which came from my parts box. The Hemi engine is partially assembled and awaiting to be painted. I hand painted some of the chrome parts including the grille which I know to be incorrect. I have to get some PE material for the grille.    More Blasphemi to come... |
