I use Smooth-On products with great results. I don’t know if they are more non-allergenic?

The converters and pipes until just past the first bend are from the Mustang Carl.

Nice collection of parts so far Len! I enjoy a nice simple build once in a while.🙂

I added the cross-over pipe and that’s it for today…I’m exhausted.🥴

That’s too much like work!🥵

Did the slant six come in any other kits…Duster or Dart maybe. If all Cal needs is the engine block it should be available in something?

It’s Ok, I put some tape over the dash light.🤓

I am actually using the Boss 302 engine from the Revell 2013 Mustang kit. So I decided to scavenge the exhaust system for parts. I used the catalytic converters, then a short pipe made from 1/16” Evergreen to connect to the mufflers. The mufflers I narrowed to get room for a driveshaft and then made the rear pipes from .080” Evergreen. I’m not sure if I will dump them there or fab up some tailpipes yet. I also made a driveshaft using the Mustang ends, some 1/8” tube and .060” hex.

Nice technique. What if you didn’t even use a patch? Just brush some solvent cement on the area to soften the styrene first.

Here are three kits I have. No figures in any of them though.😕

Got this to use with my rotary tool. I haven’t used it yet though. I hope to be able to do some light milling on styrene and brass with it.

But only at 1am?🤓

Sponge bath by a foxy young nurse could turn into an embarrassing situation.

In my younger days I would have thought that this thing was Fugly too…but now I can appreciate it as a unique classic.😎

Made some adjustable screw jacks. Still have to make some cradles for the tops yet.

All at once I want to puke.

No, the first pic I pulled off the net. The second is my truck that I shortened the box and mounted the body on a Chevy Blazer frame. This is what I started with. I flat towed it 140 miles home behind my Cherokee, with a U-Haul hitch chained to the bumper. The bumper fell off shortly after I got it in my garage. I believe it wanted to follow me home.🙂

Willys Overland pickups.

My fingers used to get cracks also when I was working with metal. I agree with Len, the dash looks great!

Teds Modeling Marketplace appears to have some really nifty products.

Absolutely fabulous work on this Glen!👍 I have a ‘54 Willys PU mounted on a Blazer frame…so I am a big fan of anything Willys Overland or Jeepsters!😎 I’ve cast some Willys cabs myself, built a loose replica of my truck and have a couple of future projects in mind. I might have to cast some more and try a Jeepster now. Thanks for the inspiration.👍

Crisis when I was in my late teens-early twenties meant running out of beer on a Sunday.

I would think the outer ends should be attached to the frame. The best pic I can find is of the 1:18 scale CMC model. It does not look like they are attached to the leaf springs.

Excellent detailing!👍

Looks great Scott. Nice detailing on the engine.👍
