I didn't go too crazy wit the interior because I don't think it will be able to be seen with the body on the car. WF
-
I picked that body up so long ago at NNL East. Sorry, but I have no recollection of who made it. It is very nicely cast. You would swear that it is styrene. WF
-
Such a cool car! I have no idea how many of those kits that I've scavenged parts from. Strangely, I have never built the intended version.
-
Amazing replica! This truly needs to be put in a museum!
-
I like the way it sits in these pics. Just high enough.
-
Everything looks very well done. I did notice that the exhaust manifolds that you are using are for a 440 or 383. The exhaust ports on a HEMI are not paired on the middle cylinders.

I meant to say that notifications show comments from other members
-
Yes, but my notifications show that there have been numerous, replies that don’t show up in the thread. WF
-
That is a good lookin' car! If realism is what we are after ... you nailed it.
-
My notifications show that there are at least 8 replies to this topic. For reasons unknown to me, I can not see them. They are not showing up when I access this thread. Sorry if I do not reply. Anyone know why this may be? I only see comments from Muncie and deuces wild from yesterday.

The '33 Willys chassis fits the resin body perfectly!
-
Some detail and some paint
-
I made a big box for the Hemi to fit in.?
-
It will have an early Hemi
-
Sometimes you just look at a part or parts and think "I can make something out of that!" That's pretty much what happened here. Resin body of unknown origin, some cool mags, a chassis and some engine parts. First mock up
-
Paintwork is terrific!
-
Thanks for all the comments! I guess I’ll post more often.?
-
Frame connectors and ladder bars were copied from the photos
-
I was not uncommon for Mopar racers to deepen the oil pan and install a tie rod tube. Sox & Martin sold them over the counter. I had a magazine article on this car and I copied the oil pan and rear suspension. The article stated that the car used a Ford toploader transmission. That's a Ford transmission in there!
-
I did actually move the axles forward a bit! check how close the front tires are to the fender edge in the oil pan picture. Rear tires are just about touching the rear 1/4 panel. It wasn't easy figuring out 2% in 1/25 scale! ?
-
I agree. The wheels make it stand out in a crowd!
-
Best rendition of this kit that I have seen so far! Very nice.
-
One of my favorite builds. A photo etch grille and some Fred Cady decals add to the realism.
