You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve probably seen one of these icons from the fifties at car shows and wondered, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Where\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the gas tank?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I asked my self the same question after I finally got my newly purchased \u00e2\u20ac\u212256 running after resurrecting it from the scrap heap. It took a while to figure out that it was hidden in a secret compartment inside the driver\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s side rear taillight. I have to admit I must have drawn a laugh at the gas station when I pushed and pulled on every feature of the rear end trying to find that gas cap. I nearly ripped the license plate off with my bare hands! Aside from that, this was a classic car with smooth flowing lines and excellent chrome accents. On top of that it was ripe for customizing too! The new ChevyTM<\/sup> V-8 was nothing short of awesome and with a little work they were blazing fast too.<\/p>\n

This is a full build and review of the MonogramTM<\/sup> 1\/24 scale \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc56 Chevrolet \u00c2\u00a0BelairTM<\/sup> Classic Cruiser #85-0881. There are 98 pieces including tires, basic decal sheet with 2 optional license plates at Skill level 2. This was a very nice kit with lots of optional parts, choices and styles. One of the nicest things about this kit was that everything seemed to be straight and fit well with very few adjustments needed.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the hobbyist there are three flavors of foil trim used, grill blackout techniques, after market\u00c2\u00a0wheels and tires and fit adjustments to the grill are examined in detail in the Step-by-Step review<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
