Those fall under the heading of "Just because you CAN do something doesn't you SHOULD"!

To possibly answer your question about getting a title and plates for one if these,I have a good friend from Michigan who had a beautiful '32 Ford hot rod roadster built two years ago. He bought an original title on line which incidentally says Ford two door, and was able to get the title and plates that way. His plate says "NO RAIN" which is pretty cool.

The wheels look good with the white roof color. Good choices all around. Thanks for sharing.

The thing to consider with your chain length is how much would actually be required to lay the tailgate down level with the bed floor. That should be the proper length to use.

We've all been there...we drop a part while working on a project,it hits the floor and disappears for ever to who knows where. We grumble,growl and possibly mumble a couple bad words to ourselves! My biggest problem other than chronic clumsiness is having a hard floor in my dedicated model room so everything I drop bounces away at weird angles and is lost forever. Having had multiple knee surgeries and closing in fast on my 76th birthday I can no longer get down on those knees to search for small stuff. I needed an easy solution. Last week I decided to simply lay an old bath towel right under my bench to catch fallen parts or at least stop them bouncing way. That works very well and I have happily been able to find all but one really small dropped piece. This is simple and inexpensive solution to a problem we all have.

Are you a builder? If so what do you prefer to create? Regardless,you will find lots of inspiration here.

I recommend Rustoleum textured spray can # 239119. I just used it successfully on a scratch built '30's travel trailer roof. I used a flat black top coat then buffed it lightly to a satin finish. It's available at Wal-Mart.

Great job as usual Howard. Nice to see the builders information available also.

This thread proves again that old "seek and you will find" addage that you can find answers to just about any question about modeling on these forums.

These alternate reality builds are inspiring. I'll be keeping my eyes open for potential parts doaner kits for a future build of my own.(Like I really need more projects!)

Thanks for showing the photos of the real slippers as I personally had never seen that roof profile before. We're those produced in the USA?

Outstanding conversion,great color choices and excellent photos. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your collection with us. I have done several of those conversions myself so I know what kind of work was involved. My personal favorite for visual impact has to be the depot hack.

Great paint quality and crisp photos. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job bringing your '58 into the 21st.century.looks very do-able in real life. Thanks for sharing.

What the heck is that open car with the number 523 on it based on ?

Thanks for posting the great selection of photos. The wide variety of styles and ideas shown is so interesting and innovative.

Great styling for a sometimes boxy body style. I love the stance. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding paint gloss. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see any WILLYS modeled at ground level and with no engine parts protruding from the hood.

Some designs of production automobiles make me wonder if this was the best design they had,what the heck designs did they reject?

Check out the current offerings from Jimmy Flintstone for the very slick '59 Lincoln hardtop he has available. This one uses a Plymouth roof clip and includes front and rear grille and bumpers.The stock number is NB324.

A very clever and well done way to enhance a piece of art. Thanks for sharing your unique talent with us.

Awesome work and attention to details here. A model to be very proud of for sure. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Before I saw the dead give away Willys rear window I thought you might have used one of the resin '40 Mercury custom bodys that are available. You've signed on for a ton of finish work and this will be fun to watch unfold.
