Thanks Carl. I got the block and blower painted with the new paint I bought. Block was sprayed with Rust-Olem flat black primer then shot with Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red. The blower was painted over the stock chrome with Tamiya TS-30 Silver Leaf.

Those were Big cars back in the day and very comfy. Nice color looks really nice. Good job.

I like that gray with the tan interior Michelle. Came out great.

I checked the Tamiya putty I used on the hood snap openings on the body this morning and all looks well. The putty seems to be holding good after some initial sanding. Need to do some final sanding to get the hood to seat better but I think it worked out well.

Thanks Larry.

Yeah.....I remember that episode where Herman ran it down the track. Brings back some memories. Nicely done.

Nice looking couple of Superbee's.

Good looking Chevelle. The blue looks nice and your engine bay has nice detail work. Great job.

Yeah, It will be a kewl Gasser. Just hope I can do it justice.

Nice looking fastback. That blue just pops. Great job.

What a great looking 41 Plymouth. I think the ride height looks pretty good. Nice job.

Great looking Cuda James. I like the use of the silver sharpi on the trim. Love the green and black.

Nice and clean looking 57 Zack. I like the interior. Great job.

That looks awful. They lost money on all the extra plastic.

Should be a sharp truck James. Ill be watching.

Looking pretty kewl. The stance is nice.

I found some other pics that show the block and heads being the same as the body. Think that's what I may do. Need to think about it.

I'm looking at the engine on Big John's 41 Willy's and it looks like the block is painted black so that's what I'm going with.

First order of business was to cut the snap tabs off the hood. I thought about cutting some pieces off the tree and gluing in the body to fill the cut outs but I elected to fill the openings in the body with Tamiya putty. If for some reason this doesn't work out I can sand it down and try something different.

Really nice looking little grocery getter.

I stand corrected fellows.

Carl......since this is my thread, a little hijacking never hurts when there's good info about paint on a Willys involved. I've leaned a lot about painting on this forum but have yet been able to lay down a slick paint job like Mike's black Willys. I'm going to apply all that I've learned on this build and like my granddaddy use to say, hope for the best and expect the worst.

Thanks James.

Nice looking Ford. Reminds me of Bonnie and Clyde with that Thompson on the passenger side.

Keep plugging away at it Mike. You'll get it.
