Hi, I just finished this thing I started back in 2010 or so...  It's a Shortened 1941 Willys built as a Curbside model... The title is kind of a joke since I rarely build "Stock" models...

It has the front clip moved back, the rear fenders and deck moved forward, reshaped hood, scratch-built running boards, custom grille, custom frenched headlights, taillights ad turn signals... Also the interior tub was modified to fit the the new body lenght...  Wheels are Pegasus...Paint is Duplicolor engine enamel "Hemi Orange" with a thick enamel clear coat, all rattle can...

 Hope you guys like it...

I will admit that your work is ultra-clean, and I can tell how much effort it took to get the car to look like this. But honestly, the proportions just don't work. It looks like a kid's pedal car version of a Willys.

Great execution. Not so great end result. Just my opinion.

WOW! Roberto, that turned out great! Not being into this type of car I might not have noticed the changes, but that's clever what you did!

Thanks Bill...

I LOVE IT!! 

The work you did is outstanding and top notch. I enjoyed following along.

I am still trying to get my chopped.top green one finished.  I've had multiple paint issues with it. I'm finally down to putting the last coats of clear on.

Later-

I'm really glad you like it... thanks... BTW, it doesn't look proportionate because it wasn't meant to... B)
