Claude Thibodeau Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Hi! I had the remnants of a Revell 41 Willys, and a brand new Testor's Vantastic delivery, and great vintage petrol signs decals I made on my printer. So... Grafted the Willys front and rear fenders on the Vantastic body, changed the windows lenght, saddled everything on the lenghtened Willys frame, and created a mostly scratchbuilt interior, with twin oil tanks on the rear platform. Also fabricated an injection plenum for an old Hemi, and numerous accessories and systems. Phantom vicky rolling stock, Tamya's racing white, polished but not cleared. Italian red interior, Revell and Molotow chrome accents. Hours of fun with styrene! CT 10
rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted January 7 Posted January 7 So unique and sanitary. Looking so good with the large side open and the color combo.
Tim W. SoCal Posted January 7 Posted January 7 BITCHEN' Willys, Claude! Once again, your talent and creativity shines and inspires...
Steve H Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Excellent!! Another beauty Claude. Great colour combination, and stance is just right. I really like the “tin work” under the hood, nicely done. Hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and happy new year my friend.

I'm happy with the results, but I must admit I was somehow sad to alter a Vantastic body, which is a very nice kit to begin with. Oh well... CT
espo Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Beautiful paint finish and color. Like the phantom body style. The interior is really clean looking, and the color goes perfectly with the body color.
NOBLNG Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Love it! The scratch built interior is beautiful….heck, the whole thing is beautiful ! Well done!😎

BK9300 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Such a cool and innovative build! Your interior texture looks very rich and I agree about the underhood tin work - show car quality finish all around!
