Watching this one. I have a 72 build going on now also. I preordered 3 of these kits, all came in within 2 days of each other. I plan on doing one like my brother’s 71 Citron Yella w/ black painted code V02 roof. Yours is coming along nicely, gunmetal will be a nice, different look.

True indeed. In 65, my father was going to buy one of the Coronet Hemi conversions that the dealer got in, only thing, they would not register it. He ended up keeping his 300G ragtop until 67 for GTX ragtop.

Drooling over here! Fantastic

Cage is looking great. I wish I would have thought about leaving top of scoop off before paint( I am using same scoop), too late now, all molded in. Those DC catalogs take me back also. Keep up the good work.

That turned out great?

I can’t wait to see the trans. Working synchros??

Wow Francis, that is awesome. Almost time to set the backlash! Way to keep us salivating.

I figured I would brighten up the subject a little. This is ultra silver lacquer from MCW for the base for the candies. This way I can also see the areas better that need attention. I hope I don’t have an adhesion problem- note inside right quarter panel where black peeled off to the resin, I may not have washed insides well enough, fingers crossed. I did wash with Dawn and 91% IPA.

Also have cage figured out and aluminum panel to replace rear seat

The progress continues slowly. I really struggled with the trunk hinge not working properly- kept contacting the corners of the lid against rear window trim, therefore not allowing it to open. I attempted many different things. The hinge kept telling me that the pivot point had to be farther away to make it work. I made L brackets out of styrene to support aluminum tube pivot under rear window, allowing it to be hidden by package tray. Yes crude looking at first, but clean up pretty well, as can be seen later. I still have a plan to hide all together. For the dash, I am using the 71 Duster dash, but need 72- up cluster, etc.. I sacrificed a 73 Dart dash, cutting clusters and other needed areas out with #11 blade. More coming soon.

I love a Willys build! Watching

Looking nice there, Roger, moving right along. Which dash did you end up using?

Watching this one!

That turned out sweeeet!

We are not worthy! WOW

Looks awesome

That turned out really nice?

Loving it. I had a chance to buy one same color combo 440/ auto back in high school for $500( blown engine). I kick myself over and over. Looks fantastic throughout.

Outstanding

Looks great!

Looking great so far, I’m a sucker for purple if you couldn’t tell from avatar. I’ll be watching.

That spoon looks great, good luck with the actual scheme. That will be awesome. I have the 1:18 die cast of it if you want another rendition of the color palette.

Can’t you use the .020 X .040 strip instead, if too tall, file to height desired? I would think you should be able to get 7 evenly spaced, I could be wrong, has happened before?

A work of art, as we have come to see from your talents. You never cease to amaze us Francis.

This one I definitely will watch.
