My '41 Willys

Lowering the front suspension.

The stance I'm looking for.

[squirrel886]

Front suspension mod, basically "Z'd" the front suspension.

Some color on the body.

Interior

Scratchbuilt hood scoop.

[Dinky]

Solid start, great stance. What color did you use on the body??

[Bernard Kron]

Super work so far. Gonna be slick when you're done! I'm glad you caught the tie-rod issue up front. I didn't when I lowered mine and it was a horror-show fixing it. Don't forget to check you engine clearances, too. Again, I didn't, and it was horror-show, part 2! Can't wait to see more, more, more...

Killer wicked stance. Good thinking to raise the entire crossmember relative to the frame to lower the front of the car.

Thanks everyone! The color is Tamiya AS-6 USAAF Olive Drab w/ Testors semi-gloss.

...........and back to the bench to do some more work on the Deuces.

A few years back I stripped a set of the kit mag wheels and finished them in Testors Metalizer Burnt Metal, a very dark bronze color. I thought perhaps I would find a way to use them as a sort of anti-bling statement. As it turned out I found other ways to do that with the Willys Street Rod and never used them. Your combination of matte military color and black mags with black tires really works with the lowered stance and the modern scoop. Cool!

Thanks Bernard. I just wanted something different from what everyone else does. Gotta think outa the box sometimes.
