ModelcarJR Posted August 13, 2022 Posted August 13, 2022 This old AMT re-pop is done. Painted with black and white Dupli-Color. Steak and Shake Sponsor logos are stickers from one of the toys they handed out to kids some year ago. Steak and Shake motto "In sight it must be right" was printed on white decal paper and faded and flaked a bit. Added other race decals. The top of the cab is painted black and white to replicate the look of their window awnings on all their restaurants. The hood hinge was make from brass and plastic rod as the kit method did not work properly. Box stock except for hood hinge and M&H Racemaster slicks because the red line hollow kit tires didn't fit the wheels well. Taillights were also left off. Thanks for looking! ? 2
Zippi Posted August 13, 2022 Posted August 13, 2022 Great looking Willy's Drag truck. Love that logo. I built one of these kits a while back.
TonyK Posted August 14, 2022 Posted August 14, 2022 That is really sharp. The black and white body, chrome wheels and white walls make this model very clean looking.
unclescott58 Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 Nice Willys. And Steak ‘N Shake, one of my favorite restaurants as a sponsor.
Street Rod Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 Really good build and a cool idea with the Steak and Shake theme!

TooOld Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 Very cool truck John ! I really like seeing different paint schemes and decal/logo layouts and this one looks excellent , great job !
Lobo2me Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Well done. Reminds me of growing up in the mid-West and my favorite place. A dbl Steakburger under the hood and a Vanilla Malt paint job. Has to be a MALT!
jphillips1970 Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 looks great - time to hit an old school drag strip Joe
