Ira Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Boy did you ever nail the concept. Compare these pics with yours, same paint but un(ahem)molested... ...right now my car has been purple lake'd but I'm tempted to try what you have done. Excellent! Bob Thats Great Bob, I like your style! Nice job cutting the black from the decals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Going for a Ride!!! Cool Willy is getting ready for a test drive! Setting steering wheel and shifter positions and we are all set to install the new Interior. Wait a Minute!!! Almost forgot "Jaws", Willys little bulldog, he coming along for a ride too!

Ira Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Checking out the Fit! Cool Willy and Jaws fit right in there! The Revell 32 Ford Interior required very little mods to fit the Willys. Here it is in place, even had room for Willys big head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Working on the Header Conversion... This header came from a Groovy Grader kit. I added braces to hold the pipes together, when I cut them off. I opened up the ends of the pipes with a Dremel Tool. Next I cut off the excess pipes, so tht they fit flush with the chassis plate.

Ira Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 The System... The Exhaust System starts with Exhaust Pipes from the 16th scale Cobra. I cut down the pipes to reduce the height and then cut off the ends to fit up next to the axle. Glued them in place. Next I glued the pipes on the rear of the chassis plate. They exit through a slot in the body... Done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modellpularn Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It's getting better and better Ira! All those little details.... I only have one little suggestion: Have you thought about applying some decal setting solution? The flames are cool, but they sort of look like they are "floating" on top of the paint, if you catch my drift.... Getting the decals to snuggle down would be the final, crowning touch! I think this build is very cool, and it has kind of inspired me to paint a long overdue project something like this green, with orange graphics. Kind of like that slot body I showed you.
