Thank You All for your feedback and thanks to those that left a “like “! I did a few things to correct some of the issues with the AMT Willys… 1. Move the front axle 2/3mm forward to center the front wheels in the wheel wells. 2. Smooth out the “peak” on the top of the front fenders. 3. Delete the pins on the chassis that locate the interior tub/body so you can locate the body to properly align it with the tilt front end. 4. On this build I also added tinted side windows, larger slicks from Speed City Resin, and the Hemi. Edited May 1 by Flatout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I build one I will definitely follow your advice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
