Bluemiles22 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 This is the ks Pittman kit but I decided to do something a little different. I had some left over slixx decals so I figured I would use them up. Some are from the swc willys, some from a quarter panel sheet and some from the kit itself. In the process of foiling the trim right now. The paint is testors bright light blue and turquoise pearl ex in the clear coat. Thanks for looking.

Bluemiles22 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Just a quick update, I got a little bit of work done on the engine. I used different shades of metalizer just to change it up a little from the usual hemi orange. Not too sure about the headers yet I may change them. Also a few photo etched pully faces for the belt. More to come, thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixx Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 You had me at Willys!!! Looking cool so far!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemiles22 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Got a little bit more done with the engine, in the process of doing some wiring and added a decal to the belt, also got started on detailing the wheels. I stripped the kit chrome and shot them with stainless steel metalizer, also sanded the lettering off and added some decals from slixx.

Duntov Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Well done!!! Keep it going... this is some very clean work..... It is going to turn out great!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodblder Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Not to sound bad, but I think the stripe on the hood might look better if it went all the way down to the stripe on the fender. For some reason it doesn't look right to me with the blue gap in there. Just an opinion is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Very nice! How could you not like a Willys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemiles22 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yea I was thinking the same thing, unfortunately there's no decal for that on the sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemiles22 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Trying my best to replicate what I've seen from some photos as far as the fuel lines go. Any suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMPALA SS 427 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Nice, I like the colour, its looking real good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemiles22 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Went a little further with the engine today. Ran a line from the pump to the fuel tank and wired the ignition coil. Also added the blower hat. I'm not entirely sure if this setup looks right so any input would be very much appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemiles22 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Got most of the suspension parts on as well as the wheels today, detailed up the fittings with red and blue paint and added the radiator. And also did a quick mock up with the body on the frame. All that's left is the interior and this one should be done. Comments welcome thanks Edited March 3, 2013 by Bluemiles22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsModeling Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I really like it, Rich. Looks like a Gasser for sure! And I like the fact you're making your own version of it. Are you going to install brake lines (braided lines to the calipers, hard line and T fittings to the rear)? Are those the kit gauges? Whose harness did you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Looking good so far. Never was much of a gasser fan,,, but thats changing the more I see done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemiles22 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks so much or the kind comments guys. As far as the brake lines go I may run them if I'm feeling up to it, I've never done it before so I'm not too sure. The gauges are from the kit I just foiled them and added a little epoxy to make the lenses. The seat belts are tamiya masking tape painted black with photo etched buckles, I copied as close as I could the seat belt decal that came with the kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
