Dr. Cranky Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I like it, it's going to be a very unique model, which is what you are after.

Ira Posted December 1, 2011 Author Posted December 1, 2011 Made some more progress on Willys Deal! Here is a mock-up on Deal's Wheels Tires... The wheel wells were enlarged with an X-acto knife and sandpaper to fit the DW tires. I applied putty and sanded the body down pretty smooth. Now for some primer/filler!
