I swear im not starting this one yet, got to finish some others first. Im just playing around. And yes, thats my work bench snack in the background 😋.

I use Amazon music for listening to music I'm my car and while at my bench, usually I just pull up the playlist of songs they recommend to me off of the songs I listen to. A couple days ago it started playing Spanish covers on random songs and Japanese techno music, NOT my 60s surfers rock, 50s rock and roll, and 60s British invasion rock. In now have to hunt down why this is happening and possibly a new playlist.

Hey man, nows a better time than never, you know what I mean . The kit has a lot of really good vintage speed parts in it. One wierd thing about the original is the wheels, they were all the same depth all around (like 2 sets of rear wheels). This is the older coke release of this kit so it has the Gasser wheel combo that I think might be my most favorite kit wheels ever! Wait, why am I telling you this, you probably already know it . Anyway, thanks Ace!

I got the front suspension really close to completetion tonight. The axle is glued to the springs, I still need to add some u-bolt detail though. Next up, I took the kit steering link and chopped of the piece that connects the spindle to the steering link, that means I had to make my own that is attached to the spindle. All that was left to do was pin the steering link. Now they all function together, and I'm proud to say the geometry all looks correct! Thanks for looking Elliot Hamm

Thanks man. I really like the look of the moebius 65 4 pot hilborn style injection and scoop, and what do you know, it fits perfectly 👌.

Thank you very much Dennis. Glad it looks right to more than just me. I also totally forgot to mention the running board delete, good eye🧐.

Saw this little 34 ford tudor yesterday. Photos blurry because it was a quick "oh BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH" take.

Cat got other of the house at around 7 last night. Keep in mind, she's a fully indoor cat never goes outside. Didn't realize it for a bit, then we did, found some doorbell camera footage of her meowing at the door. The family had decided to go to sleep for the rest of the night because she used to be someone's outside cat a long time ago. In the morning she came up to the window that was open and started meowing pretty loud, when I opened the door she walked over to me so I scooped her up and brought her inside. Found a couple of burs on her, she definitely had a quite the adventure. Now I just hope she doesn't do it again.

I just started this amt 40 willys this weekend. I did a couple of modifications to this kit to make it my own. I drilled out the front axle and added brackets to make it steerable, shortened the bed 1/4", and did a lot of sanding on the nose, as well as making the fender 1 peice instead of part cut off at the cab. All of this and it makes a much better gasser stance and aditude. On the engines behalf, I chose to use the Olds mil but had to make a few changes, the blower body (not the ends, those are kit pieces) is from the parts box (just a little longer), that is to fit the 4 pot hilborn style injection from the moebius 65 chevy II, and lastly the blower hat from the chevy II kit as well. Thanks for lookin' Elliot Hamm

Thanks for looking!

What type of water pump is this, it comes in the amt 40 willys gasser. Also, how would you go about plumbing it/ mounting it. There are a lot of people on this forum who know a whole bunch more that me (@Ace-Garageguy) Thanks Elliot

Saw this guy yesterday

Amt 40 willys pickup. Front axle modified to be poseable and the bed was shortened 1/4 of an inch. I always thought the bed looked a little log for a gasser, it turned out exactly how I envision it to.

Nice stance, but those wheels just have to go.

Got a moch up of the amt 40 willys truck. Did a lot of modifications such as cutting part of the fender away from the body and attaching it to the nose and a lot of body line sanding. I plan on doing a poseable front axle, using a different motor (dont know what yet, FE Ford maybe?), and shortening the bed just a tad. I also cant decide on wrinkle wall or pie crust slicks. Sorry for the bad photo, the truck was being held up with white glue and hope, didnt feel like moving it.

Especially for Thanksgiving

Nice work so far, and you can never go wrong with this combo.

It is infact on there, I actually had no idea what it did until now.

Nice! Can't wait to see what you do, I just picked up the stock version to build a 60s hot rod. Your chop method is going to help a lot!

My plan was to paint the area inbetween the bumper and grille body color then redo the bumper with some fusionfirm.

Thanks Jim. Exactly what I was going for "Rusty and dusty".

Okay, the yellow tint on the fuel lines look way better.

That's not always the case, a lot of the time. A lot of the times on those refrigerated cars the railroad has to push the numbers up and repaint them over graffiti.

Cool man, I would definitely suggest going with the padding.

Holy cow 🐄! That is amazing, what engraver did you use?
