I spent the weekend painting the willys. Its Plum Crazy Purple from Model Master with gloss clear. 3 coats of primer, 4 coats of paint, and 4 coats of clear!

Love it so far. Especially the paint color choice! Looks good on that car so far!

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!

Nice job on the paint I like the color. Is that from a can or airbrush?

Thanks! Its from a rattle can. Its Plum Crazy Purple from the Model Master line

Very nice job on the paint. I think this car looks best in a dark color, and you've proven it.

One tip with respect to the wiring; on a HEMI the spark plug boots are recessed in depressions in the valve covers, and so do not protrude above the surface. On a model they are best represented with a dab of flat or semi gloss paint where the wire enters the valve cover. Nice work, and nice use of the wire looms.
