41 Willys

[Tom Kren]

Well here it is I did this one after a car ive seen running around here in Cleveland and GoodGuys. Revell 41 Willys cut the frames from both the street rod kit and gasser kit used the front of the gasser kit with the rear of the street rod kit and got it where I wanted it. Rear wheels are from modelhaus so are the front Paint is from MCW and had to custom mix it to get it where ya see it. Interior I used the door panels from the gasser kit a resin tuck roll 40 Ford seat from RMOM and floor from gasser kit that was cut to make the seat fit. Hope ya like! more pics at link!

Very nice build, Tom,

[Misha]

That is a magnificent job Tom, the paint is perfect and it's a welcome change to see a Willys in civilian dress with no sponsorship markings. The other impressive factor are the great photos! Would you please list the camera used, lens, setting?

Looking forward to see more of your work,

Thanks Misha

I've seen that 1:1 car too. You did a great job of representing it. Very, very nice work.

[Dragfreak]

everything looks top notch, and amazing job replicating the other willys. One thing I notice is the wheel arches on the model are a little off, but still nice job!

Nice! I've done the opposite (street rod front suspension with rear from the gasser), this setup looks pretty good too. Love that stance!

Well done, a very clean build.

Very "old school"...........nice and clean.......As previously stated, it looks great without the usual markings....the whitewall tires looks great on it too....just like the real thing.....very sharp.

[Harry P.]

Very nice! And the windshield gasket is painted black, not left clear... a mistake 90% of Willys builders make.

I was just at Starbucks reading the latest issue of Rod & Custom and drooling over three image of the 1:1 car included on page 50 (Columbus Goodguys show coverage). Then I log on here and see your replica, now I'm drooling over my keyboard. Well done!!
