Does anyone know of...

Hello all...it's been a while since I last visited. Been busy and now I have some time on my hands again. Anyway I'm looking for some help in finding a couple of things. The first is a 1:25 scale drag chute that's realistic looking with simple assembly. I picked up a Scale Concepts kit through Ted's and it looks realistic but the instructions are kind of tough to follow (especially for these old eyes). So I'm looking for any and all suggestions that you may have.

The next (and this will probably be impossible to find) thing I'm looking for is a 1933 Willys pick up as I want to build a gasser like the attached file. I can't seem to locate any kits or resin bodies. Thank you in advance for any help!

P.S. Attached a few shots of my current WIP...need the chute for this one and still need to install the tinted windows and a few other things.

See if this might work.

Ed Fluck at Drag City Casting did a similar Willys Pickup body a few years ago. Unfortunately it seems to be out of stock, but maybe it's worth checking out if someone has an extra copy of that kit that they're willing to sell. The quality on these Ed's bodies is top notch.

Looks like a kit-bash with the AMT 33 Willys coupe and the Lindberg 34 Ford Pickup would give you a reasonable facsimile of the body and the pickup box from the AMT 40 Willys should provide the box.  Would require a bit of work but seems possible.  That is one wicked looking Willys. Also like the looks of your fuel coupe, I've been tinkering on something similar for a few years now.
