Dragfreak Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Almost a year and a half ago I started this build. After clearing the paint and decals, I realized the Accel decal is totally wrong for the era. From there I boxed the build for about a year. I recently pulled it back out and told myself regardless of how stupid it looks, it has to be finished. The 426 has ignition wiring and fuel plumbing from the tank to the hilborn injector and the steelies are from the parts box, other than that it's box stock. Try not to mind the silver paint that magically appeared on the radiator or the crooked front wheel in the last picture So here it is,
chunkypeanutbutter Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Looks gorgeous. What paint is that?
DynoMight Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Don't worry about the decal! Looks great!!! I really like the gold on it... Seems period correct!
Dragfreak Posted September 29, 2014 Author Posted September 29, 2014 Thank you for all of the compliments! the paint is testors one coat lacquer inca gold, with it I used the wet look clear.
unclescott58 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Fantastic. The color is perfect for car. Scott
10thumbs Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Hi Jason, looking real good, I like it! What really strikes me is the slocks, what kind of finish do you have on them? They look right, and the dull shine makes them look real. I like the idea too of the steelies, plus the wiring is well done. Michael
W-409 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 That's a good looking Willys. The paint job is looking excellent and I like the steel wheels a lot. I wouldn't worry about the decal issue either, I'm pretty sure if you hadn't said it no one had noticed it. I like the overall stance and everything, but the detailing really finishes it off. Nice work.
Maxicoop Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 that is awesome !!!! love the color and the details !!!!
Dragfreak Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks again! With or without the decal it turned out nice, but that decal just sticks out like a sore thumb every time i look at it. Hi Jason, looking real good, I like it!

Helix Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Very impressive Jason, really like the look of this !
rustybill1960 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 It is "Your" build Man!! Do it your way! Looks AWESOME!!! I really like Willys, so, it is a "WINNER!" Thank You for sharing Later Russ
Dragfreak Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Thanks Russ, my original plan for the build was to steer away from the traditional building of this kit by changing the wheels and body color so it is indeed sort of a my way build
DeeCee Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 That is VERY nicely done, i like the big steelies on the rear.
tubbs Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 beautiful willys Jason. very nice details without going overboard. where are the plug wires from? they look the right thickness, nice routing too.
