For about a year now Ive been wanting to build a replica of the primered willys in the movie Hot Rod aka Rebel of the Road This is what I come up with I used the car out of a 41 willys street rod model and primed the body added the 426 Hemi out of a charger model and did bare interior with ol skool race seats and sport steering wheel. Wheels are daisy spoke not sure what model there from and fronts are out of 53 chevy truck. Its not 100% detailed out yet but I like where its at. (last pic is from the movie) Feel free to criticize would love to hear yall's ideas

The wheels I taped off rings and painted centers aluminum to give them that real look. Feel free to criticize this is my first model since joining the site.
