Chariots of Fire Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Yeah! That's a nice piece of work on the conversion. It all fits together so well! Bravo!

68shortfleet Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Looks like Jimmy Flintsone already has it on their website as item NB328. Website also has a handful of pictures. Looks great. Currently has a list price of $25. I will be needing a couple of these.
Pat Minarick Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I just took a look at it. I'm going to build the original body as an old drag car , incase any of the body work comes back to haunt me. The only thing I hate about having a body casted is that they sometimes get damaged. But it is cool to see how other people finish them. Edited January 8, 2019 by Pat Minarick

He said he would be sending it next week.

This little Willy's looks great, needs the normal amount of flash cleanup work that I expect of almost any resin supplier. I'm not sure I like how the bed floor was done, but i suspect there is a reason behind it that I will discover when I start fitting it to the styrene donor kit.

I made it that way , so it could be finished in different ways . This way it can be built with the straight axle or the pro street chassis. Figured it would be easier to make a bed floor than to have to cut one out to fit the build style. If you use the pro street chassis you should be able to trim the kits floor to fit. Or you could just make a bed cover. This is one of five bodies he has casted of mine , it's always cool to see to see how other people finish them . Trying to learn the best ways to make bodies that aren't putting any limits on how they have to be finished. Thanks for asking that question. I will keep that in mind next time. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Edited January 11, 2019 by Pat Minarick
