A lot of folks throw compliments at just about any car posted here but this car absolutely deserves all of them! Gorgeous! WF

I love that! Terrific!

That color looks really nice on that body! Maybe some white in the cove on the side?

I think that I might "ugly up" the headers a bit with some rust. Getting close to painting the body ( I always do that part last). It's gonna be Italian Red but I'm thinking about putting white stripes on the roof. What do you think? WF

Beautiful model! Outstanding craftsmanship! Truly museum quality. WF

I always had difficulty picking out those molded in wiring harness'. Can never make a clean line with paint. What I did here was to carve them off and replace them with real wire. I drilled some holes behind the thicker black wire so it gives the appearance that the colored wire is coming out of the black harness! Used white wire to replicate the plastic hold downs.

Got a little done. Turned the Hemi headers into wedge headers. Looks weird with the real long pipes but it sorta works. Air cleaners need some touch up too.

Beautiful bird!

Very, very nice! What is the source of the 6 pack carbs ?

I think that I see Studebaker DNA in that Anglia.

If that's the body you are using, it's not an Anglia, it;s a Studebaker.

One of my all time favorites kits.Terrific job! I love it! WF

Very well done, especially the engine compatment!

Absolutely fantastic! Just don't turn it over again I love those Johan bodies! The AMTs look like 13 year old designed them. WF

On mine, the front wheels were almost touching the fenders, so I trimmed the wheel opening a bit. Good thing I checked before I painted. WF

Hard to make that kit look good. You did a great job! WF

Removing the material from the frame in the rear does not shorten the wheelbase. I found out too late that the front wheels were too far forward in the wheel opening. I've had problems in the past with polar lights funny cars but the mustang is really bad. P.S. Your results may differ! WF

Ahhh, creative stretching: I found a Funny Gremlin kit at a swap meet for 10 bucks. A friend donated another body and after some "creative stretching"............... WF

The Johan chassis is still being "enhanced". I got some primer on it, mocked up the engine location, and replaced the wonky torsion bars with some .040 rod. I also found a driveshaft that almost fit.

That VW is a gem!

It's amazing how accurate and beautiful Johan bodies were and how unbelievably horrible their chassis were!

I like this one a lot! One you don't see every day (or ever ). Cool! WF

Major change! In order to use the Lindberg chassis, I would have to chop the bottom out of the interior tub and although it would not be that difficult, I don't wan't to do that. The Johan chassis fits perfectly but has horrible detail. Hmmm, what if I cut out the molded in exhaust, differential, and drive shaft? With some cutting (a lot), bondo, filing, and a parts box diff. I might have something.

I like the stance.

I really want to use this type of header: Here is another problem. They are for a Hemi but I want to use a wedge. They also will not fit with the Lindberg chassis. Another problem with the Lindberg chassis is that I can't get the firewall to meet the cowl ( 1/4 " gap ). The engine also sits way too low in relation to the hood. I started to modify a Johan pan.
