A spin through The Gasser Wars book prompted me to build a match race car , hence the exaggerated nose stance . Body and frame color are a custom mix of Testors enamels . Decals are a mixed bag from the Slixx sheets .

Detail Master fittings and wire were used throughout the build . MAD distributor & ignition box , MAS steel tubing , Bob Dudek aluminum Moon tank and bug catcher round it all out . Interior is done up in aluminum , indigo blue, and orange with masking tape belt harness & Detail Master hardware .

Frame and motor were slightly weathered with Alphacolor earth tone pastel chalks . As for the rear weather stripping in the back , it's a roundtoit deal . Once I install the grill , I'll probably touch the rear windows in .

On an interesting note , concerning the front and rear windows on this car ...... Gasser Wars photos show the weather stripping either painted over or with the windshield , non existent in the later years . The latter day Mazmanian Willys was a prime example of this .

Thanks for the kind words of praise , they are greatly appreciated !

This is one of the nicest Willys builds I've ever seen. Every bit about it is inspirational and I love the color on this car. Donn - you really do styrene justice.

First of all thats a very nice car. Pretty impressive actually!!

I know you're a big fan of HOK, as I watched one of your videos

about it. Do you mind sharing what you used here on this one?

The color in the pics really show! So I'm interested to see what

you used.

Again Nice Car!
