Man, two weeks? I barely have the plastic wrap off by then. Dig it.

Nice start, can't wait to see your 2nd and beyond models. Keep it up.
-
Super nice and aptly named!
-
Wow, terrific!
-
Thanks dudes, glad you like it.
No headlights...no taillights...but it has windshield wipers?
Also... yeah, I know it's a custom...but why all the extra squiggles in the exhaust system?
Well, lets not get too crazy, the wipers provide at least a modicum of safety. lol
As far as I can tell most GM cars with the x-frame had a bendy straw exhaust system. I think AMT took some artistic licence with this one..

Super clean, great build!

Thanks guys. I'd love to bring it to a local show Charlie, I'll make the trek. The color is Testor's Stop Light Metallic with Extra Kustom Shop Micro Flake thrown in for good measure over Testor's Allumaplate and under Tsetor's wet-look clear It is a dark red in person, but I can't capture the "bling" of the metal flake on film.I dont think my Fisher Price camera can get a deep and focused enough pic. Darn mandatory auto focus. What I got in the viewfinder is not what showed up on screen.

Thanks man, dig your builds as well. I got the fur at my local fabric shop. It was about 3 inches long, but easy to chop. I've seen the stuff on Ebay as well. Look for fake fur under crafts or something.
-
Great idea, that color and crazy flat top are awesome together.

And that's it. Hopefully the pics look ok on your monitor. Tips, criticisms, or if you want to come to my house and shoot this properly, letlet me know.
Thanks for lookin! -
Finally, I finished a build this year! The car got its name from my 8 year old digital camera's fear to take a decent pic of this red ride. Or maybe its just me being a hack photographer? Hey, I'm a baker not a young George Barris...The colors looked decent on my flat screen T.V., but look way flat and lifeless on the laptop. Either way time to upgrade and get on with the pics.
A full shave and molded everything

Custom made grill insert. Headlights? Are those important??

Mishmash of two rollpans. Indecision has left me taillight-less as well.

In the real world this hooptie would have air bags or hydros. This car has a AMT chassis plate and a lot of cutting.http://

Super clean build with great little details. Flawless as far as I can tell. Got any chassis pics Ben?

Sweet job on a great kit. You did it justice for sure.
-
SOOOO 70's and way cool man, you nailed it
Agreed!
-
Super nice...the hits keep on comin'.
-
Thanks! Do you plan on bringing yours to the workbench soon? It really is a great kit. Aside from the Tamiya Ferrari Enzo I almost forgot I started, this the next best kit I've ever put together!
It's in the queue between the next model and sometime before I die...yours is inspiring a bump in line though!
-
I love me a Willys custom, good luck with the build. The 1:1 is fantastic!
-
I'd love to see that paint job under some good lighting. I'm sure it pops like crazy.
-
Great work so far. I've had this kit for a long time, looks fun to build. Keep it going...
-
Nice foil work Matti. Those long, delicate chrome strips can be a bugger to do, great job with it!
-
Stunner! Clean,clean,clean.
-
Very nice build. Cruiser skirts on a 57, great touch!
-
Sweet build, very clean.

Here's my living room. I've got the rare and old stuff wrapped up in dry storage...
