Great job my friend, can't wait for your Ford P/U Gasser meets my Chevy P/U Gasser at Fulton.

how did this project turn out, love to see some more progress pics and the finished car. thanks

thank you.

thanks.

Hi Mike, Thanks. I used Apple Barrel acrylic paint from Walmart. I mix dark grey and black until l get the color l want. I hope this helps. Jim

thanks Mark.. I am glad i came back. Best model forum online. You can find my eBay juerkvitz.

thanks for the kind words.. I sold that Nova last winter. I do have pics of the build and one i posted on eBay. here are a few..

I haven posted in this forum for a few years now. Life etc.. The amount of talent that is here now is mind bottling.. ( VGG ). Anyway, I had picked up a couple resin '37 Willy's pickups off eBay on the cheap years ago. I had planned on building a version loosely based on the Silver Dollar Willy's Gasser pickup. The project never took off and there the resin sat on my self while l did other builds for eBay. A couple months ago l decided l wanted to build a Willy's Gasser, but l just wasn't "feeling" the truck version any longer. So, I chopped off the front fenders off of one of the resin trucks and put them on the AMT 1940 Willy's Coupe. Here is where I am so far. I hope to have it complete and for sale on eBay buy the end of January. Thanks for looking all comments are welcome. Jim

Very cool build, one of your best. ! nice job brother.

I been away from this board for a while. Anyone know if there is going to be a model show in Fulton NY this November 2020.?

Fantastic build. i love it

I have ordered parts from them in the past and they do have great products. However, I placed an order on July 17 and have yet to receive it. The items have already been paid for through PayPal. Can someone tell me a what to contact them.? The Contact Us button on there website does not work. Can someone tell me an email address or a phone number.? I don't want to be go through Paypal to resolve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Man, I love this build. I keep coming back and looking at it. I also love the overall "feel" of the pics. Great Job.

Nice job, another great build.

Been fallowing this for a while. Looks great. Don't let the busted windshield stop ya. How does the one from Lindberg fit.? Maybe try rubber cement, that's all i use for my windows. The clear stuff you get in bicycle tube repair works great. It's clear , but it take some time to cure.

Looks great. Love that engine and overall stance. I'm not a huge pro-street fan, but this is killer. Nice Job so far.

Wow, fantastic build, really captures the era. nice job.

Man, this is a great build. ya really captured the feel of a Saturday night special.

Wow, you nailed it. great build.

I like where this is going.. I'm in.

Thanks again for the compliments, It's nice to hear opinions of my builds. The rear tires are out of AMT rail kits ( Garlits ).. i put them on a home made chuck made from an old screwdriver. I attach it to a drill, put the tire on it and run 400 grit sand paper , then 600 grit on the tread surface. I then run 800 grit on the side walls. Then I clean off the excess rubber, apply Shabo dry transfer lettering. Then hit the tire sidewall with Testers dull coat to "set" the lettering. I do the same to the front, but just the tread as they arn't run at such a heavy strain as the rear tires are on a real dragster. As for the rims, the rear are 2 piece. The inner rim is from Fireball resin ( great stuff, check out his carbs. ) cleaned up, lugs drilled out and studs inserted. Then that is glued to an aluminum outer rim i got years ago, I can't remember where. The front rim and tires are from AMT Winged Express kit. The only thing i added was an old custom knock off center.

that's cleeeeean, nice job.

Wow, great job.

Walter, i change the heading, I read '56 Ford Vicky Gasser when I first posted it. thanks for the awesome comparison to Roth.

thanks guys, I really appreciate all the kind words.
