DeeCee Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 This is the Monogram 41' Willy's street rod kit, I have lowered it a bit, the wheels are from a pro street kit with some lower profile street tyres. i opened up the trunk and filled it with a fuel cell and battery., also added a pair of bigass carby's on top of the blown hemi. Paint is ebony black Auto acrylic. ( the orange tinge is because it was photographed on sunset.).
Harry P. Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Very nice. The paint is especially nice. But you made two mistakes that most people who build a model of this particular car make: 1. You left that molded "lip" around the windshield clear. That's supposed to represent the rubber molding, and should be flat black, not clear. 2. There is no apostrophe in "Willys." It's the name of the car... Willys... it doesn't belong to Willy.
Ramfins59 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Great work Dale, you really nailed that Black paint job.

Thanks very much guys, Harry, i never was real good with gramma at school , too interested in cars, and i realized i missed the rubber on the screen a little to late, BUT, it wont happen again.
rmvw guy Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 The orange cast on that black is awesome. My favorite time of day to take photos. Beautiful paint and I love all the work you did in the trunk also. The engine looks perfect. Nice Willys.
jkill54 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 beautiful car. gotta love those GIANT engines.
426-Hemi Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Dale,THAT looks SHARP in black........... Nice work man! -Also nice added Blower...... you have to add that to the kit or was it with it? (I got the kit, but have it packed away for a bit till I get other projects done BEFORE I go starting another one!)Didn't think that Willy's would look so good in black!
