LOL, okay, maybe just a little more than a little. :lol:/> :lol:/> :lol:/>


After reading the last couple of posts , I went back and had to look .....now mind you , this is just my observation , but ...... Whoever hits the pedal to the floor in Steroid Willy best be wearing severe weather gear when those tires dig in !

Unless you got really big mudflaps, there'd be mud all over the place!! Looks great, Doc!!

Now, get Eyegore to the ER so they can plug that eye back in!!

Well, we'll see how the mudding goes. I got the body finished less the mud, so stay tuned in, and happy THANKSGIVING to everyone!

Doctor I've been waiting for the pics and you sure delivered! That paint is glass smooth. I cant help but love this build. The creativity and originality is off the hook. Not much else I could say but bring on more pics! Thanks as always for sharing.

All right, the body is done sans the mud . . . I added a few interesting decals just to spice it up . . .

Here's a mud-level perspective shot. LOL!

The chassis, the interior, and the body are not glue together and won't be. I like to take things apart and look at them . . . LOL.

But some of these shots show the body sitting a bit forward, but trust me it sits just right . . . .

I still have to add a couple of more wires out of those carb stacks . . .

Looks great Doc. You have done the workers at the Toledo assembly plant proud . Yes they built the Willys car there before they built Jepps for the war effort.

Thanks, Andy, and thanks Donn. We'll see what happens in 2013. Only the new year will tell what kind of madness will run in my blood. Plus, there are rumors of an impending article in MCM that is supposed to rock the styrene world! LOL. Well, I hear it's like some sort of World Wrestling Federation "DEATH CAGE" type of match . . .

I looked here and didn't find anything about this RUST VS SHINY all-out brawl! ;) :lol: B) :rolleyes: :blink:
