1941 Willy's Street Rod

[Zippi]

I finished this one up yesterday but didn't get it cleaned up until this morning.  It was primed with Tamiya White Surface Primer then sprayed with Tamiya TS-30 Silver Leaf, and finally airbrushed with Tamiya X-23 Clear Blue.  Wet sanding/waxing to round it out.  This build is pretty much box stock except the plug wires and Accel coil.  I liked the wheels & tires that came with the kit so they stayed.  Except for having to re-paint the body due to my mistake it was a very nice build.  I really enjoyed this one.

Love it!  Headed here to the forum after watching your video. Engine and chassis look great. Cool idea spraying the tires with Rubber Black. ?
