  1. Nice Work!
  2. Clean Build, Very realistic!
  3. Clean Build on a Rare Kit! Well done.
  4. Nice Paint!
  5. Here are the Shotgun Scoops in place on the dual Superchargers...
  6. After removing 1/2" from the width of the front end, the grill opening was also reduced by 1/2". I carved out an extra 1/4" on each side of the opening and returned it back to the original size. Now, thats more like it
  7. Test fitting the Skull Driver... I think he looks pretty comfotable, don't you?
  8. Thank you Russ! I haven't picked colors yet, any suggestions?
  9. I found a great seat for the ZZZ-28 Dragster in the Streetfighter kit. This seat will probably fit nicely in most Deals Wheels Interiors too! I had already cut the seats out of another interior so it was easy to sepparate the 2 seats. Fitting to the Deals Wheels interior is pretty easy! I cut down the seat a little more for a better fit. Here is the seat in place...
  10. Looks Great Don!!! The sectioning made a big difference...
  11. I am working on adding width to the rear fenders. I first cut the rear fenders from a second Willys body. I tried to fit the rear fenders and found that they would fit better if they were shorter... I shortened each fender by 1/8". Here is the fit after shortening the fenders. Before I attached the fender add-ons, I marked a line on each side where the fender fit. Then I made a line about 1/8" down from that line. I will remove the plasic below the second line before attaching the fenders.
  12. Thanks Steve! Give it a try, a 57 Chevy Dragster could be really wild!
  13. Looks Great! Nice Clean Build...
  14. Heres a photo of the major body panels glued back in place and some of the rough sanding has been done... I sectioned the hood about 1/4" and shortened the top half about 3/4". The lower section of hood was sepparated into 5 pieces and fit in place. Next, I want to add some width to the rear fenders and make the grill opening a little bit wider.
  15. Good Morning Daniel, Thanks! Glad you like it!!!
  16. Very Nice Build on one of my favorite cars!!!
  17. Here is the first SKULL Decal I applied on the body. It would have been easy on a flat surface but these contours were a challenge. I cut the decal in several places to reduce the stress and allow it to lay down. Using Q-tips and a sharp blade I got the decal to lay down pretty good. The Slixx Decal held up pretty well during the process and should look great after touch-up and the clear coat is applied.
  18. Thanks for your kind comments David! Yep, love that Whack-A-Mole feature!
  19. Thanks Del! The wheels & tires are from a Willys Muscle Machine...die cast toy.
  20. GREAT BUILD!!! The paint and detailing are fantastic! Nice color choices..
  21. Thanks! Glad you like it! Great Hemi Dog!
