Hopefully all the molds mentioned are is working order and can be used again ! I've always admired the older kits and the terrific art work -
Thanks this build was certainly enjoyable playing with a concept idea and trying to keep it totally possible gm could've started the production of the car using available parts . My buddy kept reminding me to keep it period correct Thanks for your feedback and following along ! Thanks! Yeah those wheels were essential to the build, my 71 has the same style. Yep I stripped all the chrome w super clean, sprayed the blue, cleared , then used the 1mm molotow pen for the chrome .

Your decision to shorten the frame was probably a good option, everything should flow better

I've always sworn off those Orange oil filters but used for added color..I apologize right now..nothing worse than a Fram..imo I added some fine craft wire to the master cylinder , coiled around a Q tip handle. Later the battery cables will get installed, run fuel line to carb..and probably a vac hose to brake booster..

Wow your Willys incredible!!love the fine details ..looks like te driver just turned it off and walked away very nice -
Testors wet look lacquer..I always get heavy handed w spray paint hence the orange peel. Thanks Thanks ! I have a 71 olds convertible so this was a must have build

Ya gonna use that Pete tri axle setup for the dolly thatd be cool
-
The rest of the vitals on this build..the interior is white w black dash, 4 speed, and wood grain. The engine is the bulletproof 442..olds blue , aluminum intake getting a few details added to wake up the engine compartment. I'm gonna use the white 442 stripes for this one. Even with the disgusting humidity today I got the clear on the body..its gonna gas out a few days then polish out . Enjoy ! sorry no pics of the hood ..for whatever reason they keep failing the upload even though every other photo is larger size..frustrating Thanks for following along ! I add some engine and interior shots tomorrow

Thanks !! Once I saw that photo I couldn't leave well enough alone Thanks! I was really tempted to leave it black after the base coat..but glad I finished using the correct GM color. Thanks man you and mrs Kerry helped alot ! My eye kept saying something was off just needed that constructive feedback ( and from tom saying ya weren't feeling it convinced me to modify the roof ..I certainly appreciate it
-
Thanks I had alot of help getting the roof line to sweep back , several friends via email and texts gave invaluable advice when it was close..I just took it into the endzone
-
Well..sorta lol I wanted to keep everything olds, but the molded in fuel tank on the elco bed ended that plan. I actually backhalved the elco frame onto the cutty right behind the seats. I'll snap a few pics underneath.
