Help! Has anyone built the Revell 57 Chevy Pro Sportsman. PICs
- How does the other glass fit? Maybe you've got the glass from the '55 kit? *NM*
  - That could very possibly be what happened. I got this from a club member that passed and a lot of the kits have parts missing and mixed. *NM*
- I built one when those kits first came out in the 90s(?).... My memory is that everything just fell together. Zero issues.....
  - I got this from a club member that passed and a lot of his kits are missing or mixed parts. *NM*
    - My suspicion then, is that what you have is a stock 57 windshield... The Softseal 57 Pro Mod, that the kit originally replicated, featured a body that was 7/8 scale as compared to stock... It was a very radical race car for it's time.. *NM*
      - With all the rivets, it sure isn't "stock". *NM*
        
        Looking at it on my phone, honestly can't see any rivets *NM*
        
        They are hard to see so I think it is from the 55 Pro Sportsman. *NM*
        
        That windshield actually looks like it belongs to the Tom McEwen 57 Chevy Funny Car. *NM*
        
        It very well could. Someone said it could be from the 55. The guy that passed had both and l am contacting the other club member that took the 55 to have him check his. It could be a simple swap. *NM*
        The McEwen kit being 1/24 scale, it looks like the same piece but larger. I believe the 1:1 funny car body was based on the Pro Sportsman body *NM*
        
        Terry let me look in my parts box of that kit I may have a windshield for you. Give me an hour or so. *NM*
        
        Take your time. I'm still trying get in touch with the other guy. *NM*
        
        I looked in my box and I found the windows and parts to the 57 but these don't have rivets. I'll send them and if it works great if not keep them. I'm sure I still have your address unless you moved recently. *NM*
        
        We're still here but wait until l hearfrom the guy with the 55. He is in my local.club *NM*
