Revell '41 Willys (bent)

[Trainwreck]

Started this about a year ago, got the look I wanted and quickly shelved it.

Using the Revell Hay T-bird chassis I raised the leading edge of the front fender assembly to match the pitch of the frame.

I then fashioned the hood to the fenders and added 3 scale inches to the rear fender width to accommodate the wider tires.

Next I installed a slightly modified '36 ford chopped top after noticing the door lines were very close and this is where I ended up.

Thanks for your interest Hank, this car sits in queue at 230 out of the 400 that I have in various stages of completion and probably won't see the light of day until it's finished and under glass.

Following any of my builds is not a great idea, I just like to show some in progress models I own and try to explain what got them there.

Thanks again. ✌️

No worries Trainwreck...understand.  Looks like it'll be a very cool build and just didn't want to miss out.  😉

That 36 chopped top really gives the ole Willy's a different look there Bill.

Bill, thats one mean looking car, and the wedge channel gives it an aggressive rake without the rocker panel gap.
