Only one word comes to mind: GORGEOUS! Wow!

What a beauty.

That Testor's lacquer gold is cool too. This means you'd have to change the name to: GOLD DIGGER LOOT BOUNTY Something other than Cobalt.

Keep it going, Ira. Keep it going. More inspiration, more eye candy. More styrene FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!

Trying to have some fun, Bill, with this ever-growing Styrene Addiction (or Affliction!) :wub:

I think it would looking great in gold. Aztec Gold!

What a beauty. Nice job.

Art and Bryan, I ended up using the gasser frame and components because I wanted to keep it as stock as humanly possible, but I am going to gizmo-engineer a way of dropping the whole frame a few scale inches so that there's a bit more tire clearance. The shocks would be very easy to scratch-build in this case in case someone is thinking of doing one of their own. I just used the stock parts because I like them. Once again, all this proves the amazing versatility of the 41 Willys. If I could, I would keep a few dozen in stock always. It's the kit I am going to be using when I turn the 62 Corvette into a gasser. Don't blame me for the madness, blame Donn Yost. It's his fault! LOL!

Thanks, Ira. Working on a roll cage after I get back home from work. I spent some time designing it. Stay tuned in for more.

Thanks, Mike and Corey. Working on cleaning and prepping all the parts for final primer and then painting.

Smile! You are on WILLI GONE WILD! :D

From this angle, this thing almost looks like a VW Beetle. As I mentioned earlier, I am using all the parts from the gasser kit, except for the wheels and a few engine parts.

Thanks, everyone. I am making slow progress, but it's a cold and rainy day anyway, perfect for just working with the naked styrene. Top came off without too much drama: Every time I look at these wheels I see mud!

Wonderful model.

Beautiful, smooth and clean. Great to see you building more early Fords, Drew.

Stay tuned in for more progress. I don't see why it couldn't be shiney and have a little mud respresentin'. The chassis is going to be mildly weathered and the engine is going to be new though. Just creating varieties in the finishes.

I like the name, yes.

This is all pretty much box stock except for a few frame reinforcements, the tires, and some after market parts for the engine. I have always wanted to build a big tall Willys.

I'm using two big carbs and two huge velocity stacks. That should help the look. And this one is going to be painted in TESTOR's "Lime Ice" lacquer, if all goes well.

Got the chassis cleaned up, welded and glued, reinforced, etc . . . the chassis took some work, sure, but not as much as the body: And I just cut off the top and made it TOPLESS, thus part of the "wild" in the WILLYS GONE . . .

Thanks to Bryan M. for the name. A topless 41 Willys with a slight attitude problem. Need I say more? And Jim S, this one is going to be shiny. Yes sir!

Those little details really PAY OFF!

More, more, more . . .

OH MY, that's beautiful and it looks so freakin' wicked! Keep it going.

LOL!
