Another '33 Willys

[Old Coyote]

..... my rendition of AMT's '33 Willys street rod ............ I also had to make some adjustments to the basic kit ......... the SOHC Ford was replaced with a big block Chevrolet and the hood reworked to clear a standard Hilborn injector and scoop .......... tires and wheels from the parts box ............ MCW lacquer and Billy Gooche decals

Super-clean build John!  I like your engine swap and the paint is great..!

Good job John, I don't think I'll ever tier of the '33 Willy's. Great paint and love the decals!

Another fine model of yours, really a fine job.  Someday I'd like some inside info on how to make such a clean paintjob.

The way the trunk lid fits and the roof piece is just phenomenal, they look separate but yet they fit correctly, that's really a quality model.  I think too the engine swap with details makes a nice entry for a real cool piece.  I always look when I see 33 Willys written.

I like pics of this car too when folks are standing around one in the pits, or the garage where it's being built.  Amazing how small these cars actually are.  When they're high off the ground the perspective appears to be over-sized.  I have a pic of a couple of dudes pushing a chopped and slammed piece out of a garage, ready for the paint booth.  The cars are not big.  With powerful motors I can't imagine the feel of acceleration they relay.  I know you realize it though.

Very nice.

These little Willys' were not big at all ........... here's a shot of one with a young lady who stood about 5'6"

 

 

My Thames looks larger than it really is when shot in a picture with nothing to gauge the size (you would think it's about the size of a '40 Ford Panel) ....... however when photographed with an individual, you can see just how small it really is
