Sixx Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I tried to duplicate a 41 Willys gasser that I saw in Byron Illinois at the Meltdown Drags...which is all nostalgic gassers, fuel altered, altered wheelbase, you know, the cool stuff!!!!!!!!!!!! Had to scratch build the teeth, slap a 427 in it, shoot semi gloss black. Could not find ANY skeleton decals or "stickers" that would work for this build....I had to do them and the name free hand! Ugh! Not perfect but looks good to me!
Sixx Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 I don't have pics of the real car on my computer, just in my phone...don't know how to get those on here from there!? A few more pics
BIGTRUCK Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Decals look perfect, willys looks perfect, I never seen a grille like that before but it makes sense on that build name/ Good woork
Sixx Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Thanks Ken...those are not decals...I had to free hand paint them...a little shaky, but looks good to me! The 1:1 car had teeth like that instead of a grill?!

DrKerry Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Looks pretty derned kool ta me!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!
vintagedragcrazy Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 that thing is better than cool it's freakin awsome!!!vince
Jmaracing Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Really cool looking gasser derrick. Great job! I like it.
gasser59 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Love me some Willys gassers and yours is really cool Derrick. Nice job on the lettering, did you use a brush. Liking the grill too.
High octane Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Very good job on that gasser Derrick as I too saw it at Byron. I believe that I saw Bone Shaker decals on the Slixx site recently. Your hand painting looks great!
Nytrozilla Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Okay Derrick. Two things. TEETH !!!! Love them. Then there's the lettering / graphics. They look to me, to have been done by the guy who had the concept for the car, but his mechanical skills were better then his hand painting skills. They NEEDED to be done by hand.Lastly, I use PhotoBucket and guess what? There's an app for that. It's a pain because of the ads, but every pic I take goes to PhotoBucket, then gets posted here. If you have any questions, pm me.
Jantrix Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Most impressive. I would not have even attempted to hand paint the graphics. My hats off to you.
Sixx Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Very good job on that gasser Derrick as I too saw it at Byron. I believe that I saw Bone Shaker decals on the Slixx site recently. Your hand painting looks great!I have those from slixx, it's in a different font. Actually, the lettering on the real one looks like bones
Sixx Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Love me some Willys gassers and yours is really cool Derrick. Nice job on the lettering, did you use a brush. Liking the grill too.Hey Brad, thanks man! I used a paint marker with a small tip
TooOld Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Very cool , and your artwork looks pretty darned good to me !
Codi Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I had to go back and stare at the graphics 3 times. You're one talented artist Derrick. Perfectly suited to the build. Nice job. Tim
Rrrrrrumps Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Great lettering, steady hand you have there. Love it.
