    The original is really nice and looks like it was well done. It also looks like you are going to do it justice! Carry on Mike!?

    I have the same problem. I’ve have had to use a drill bit to clean the cap and a hobby knife to scrape the dried glue off the nozzle. I now try to remember to burp the bottle to get the tip clear of glue and wipe the outside before putting the cap back on every time. I glued my accelerator bottle to a small 1/4” thick piece of steel so I can’t easily spill it again. I also use a glue looper for the thin CA and another one for the accelerator.

    Neat old car. Nice job!?

    Ooh, I like that car too! It’s looking good Jacob!?

    I cut the WILLYS letters out of some .010” styrene and glued them to another layer of .010”. Then I made a mold of it so I could cast it. There was no way I was going to attempt to make four identical scripts. One was hard enough!? They came out just a touch big, but close enough.? I made a cutout in some .015” styrene and used it as a guage to file down the back of the castings till there was very little left of the second .010” layer, then attached them with thin CA. I also scratch built a gas filler neck, gasket and cap.

    I had to enlarge the battery compartment slightly to fit the 12v battery I have. I plan on adding a winch, so I need a big battery.? The steering arm from the box to the bellcrank hits the front axle housing so I’ll have to put a bend in it or something. I got the engine in and the exhaust hooked up.

    The eBay link doesn’t work for me either. So….I guess these never got remade for 2014 as motortrend was predicting eh? Too bad, this artists rendering is a pretty nice looking unit!?

    I like them in the order you posted them!?

    I’ll follow this. I love that green one, and I’m sure yours will be just as sweet!?

    Great job! ?The wheels look great on it. You sure didn’t get rusty while away from the hobby.

    Nice looking little Hot Rod! ?

    I picked up a pin vise and some small bits.

    That is going to be a nice rig. Googling score on those 3D files!

    Thanks Charles! That is a great idea. I thought that 1/16” od. was the smallest tube that K&S made. Is 0.018” the id? I just looked on their website again and see 1/32” od. tube(0.03125”) and 1mm. od. tube (0.0394”). A local hobby shop doesn’t stock it, but will order it for me so I will have it on hand.

    Both of these kits have glass packs. It would also be really easy to make them from some large sprue or styrene rod.
  17. NOBLNG
    Nicely done!?
  18. NOBLNG
    Looks real nice. Any more completed pics?

    Nice builds! They both have their fine points.?

    Excellent work! I would have guessed that the stripes were a decal. My very first car was a ‘67 Falcon so I really enjoy seeing this.?
  21. NOBLNG
    REALLY nice job on this! I don’t normally like lowriders, but I think you just changed my viewpoint.?

    Nice clean build.?These were beautiful cars!

    Nice work on modifying the frame and suspension, and you did a beautiful job of tubbing that bed!?
  24. NOBLNG
    That is a nice red! The trim being done will really accentuate it nicely I think.
  25. NOBLNG
    That looks absolutely fabulous!?
