High octane Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I think it should be left up to the builder and that's why it's called a "custom." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Seems to me that is too close to the Street Rod version they already have . If Revell REALLY wants me to part with 30.00 on what I consider to be perhaps a 18.00 dollar kit , give me the option of a COMPLETELY stock Willys Americoupe .

Are you saying there was a stock Willys Coupe? That's just crazy talk! Everybody knows they all came out of the factory as gassers!

Ace-Garageguy Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I would love to see a stock kit. X7, but it would probably require almost ALL new tooling, 'cause the drag-car and street-rod chassis are very different from stock, as of course are the engines, gearboxes, body details, etc. Somehow I don't think it'll happen. The existing Willys kits can be built into pretty much anything though. I really like your stocker, Ed. What did you use for engine and guts?

moparmagiclives Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 There is something about a custom or stock whillys that just looks wrong. I seen a Henry j yesterday at a local car show. Just looks wrong lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 X8. That goes for the Henry J, too. Don't get me wrong, I love Gassers, but I like the stock versions, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'd go for a Stocker too so X9. A stocker would give you the option of any level of souping up from gasser to early gasser hot rod versions, leaves more for the imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I would like to see a Stock Willys Coupe - or a Pickup too. Gassers are very nice, but that would definately be worth buying. A guy here in Finland built Factory Stock '41 Willys. He started the build from Revell Stone, Woods and Cook Willys Gasser. The body, dashboard, Headlights, grille, little parts of front axle and frame as well as Radiator were used from the kit. From the body, Firewall and rear fenders needed to be changed. Engine is from AMT's "Hogans Heroes" Jeep kit. A lot of scratchbuilding was done in the chassis and interior area, too. The same guy is building also '41 Willys Half Ton Pickup.

Sixx Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Tommy May built a stock one that looks so real!! They should offer it in stock form...do your own gasser or custom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Why should Revell bother creating a new tool kit of a Willys ... or anything else for that matter? The "experts" would just trash it. I agree, however, that stock Willys are cooler than cool should be allowed to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Those are beautiful! Are you reading this Revell? If anyone should be reading this, it's Moebius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 A stock Willys Americar kit is not going to happen. If the kit can't spawn multiple variants, it's a longshot at the start, and considering Revell already has two distinct '41 Willys Coupes in their lineup, how much good would a third, stock version do them? The '60s era Revell kit can be built stock with some kitbashing, as shown above. Almost all the parts exist already (maybe not the embossed rear bumper, but I think there's a decal for that) to build a stock '41 Americar, just not all in one box.

VW Dave Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I think that revel should do a custom willys coupe Isn't the Willys pictured a Revell already? I see no major changes to their gasser or pro street kit body in those pics...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
