The other day while cleaning out the old loft where I used to have my bench, I ran across a plastic box with about three complete Willyses kits, and so my heart leaped and I decided to quickly put them to good use . . .

And came up with these two street rascals. I wanted to capture the contrast between a clean, smooth chassis, interior and engine versus a ratty exterior . . . something perhaps out of Rebel Rodz or Ol' Skool Rodz.

This kit will always be one of my favorites by Revell. It builds ultra nice, easy, and you can build one, really in about 3 days . . .

Hope you enjoy.

The interior:

Stay tuned in for a few more . . .

Thanks, I went through my parts box finding cool grills and fender from other kits and modified a few, but these were the ones I liked the most.

I think this makes about the 14th or so 41 Willyses I build so far, and I am sure I am forgetting a few that ended up getting broken or ruined . . . a couple I gave to friends (that was the last time I gift models to anyone) and they returned them in pieces, claiming they'd fallen off their shelves . . . :(:angry:<_<

They look great Doc. I have one of these cooling it heels on my shelf. I'm undecided on how to build it. I like the tri-power idea though.

Rob, I found it in my parts box and of course could not guess where it had come from but when I fit it on there I knew it'd look perfect. Glad you like it.

If any of you have not build one of these Revell 41 Willys (STREET RODS), I'm telling you you don't know what you are missing.

Thanks, maties. Chuck, I can make that happen, my friend. Nothing is glued down so I can switch all the elements. How's that for cool? That's why I love these 41 Willyses. They hold together without much glue! LOL!

Virgil, those are both awesome. I love the wide whites, especially the pro street tires on the yellow one. Did you paint those on and if so what paint did you use on the tires? Also, does the nose of the yellow one drop down just a bit?
