[Hizoot]

Hi one & all,

I haven't posted much as of late so here's a Willys update for you..! Do you remember any of this..?

That was then, this is now..!

The body is now complete & the paint is smooth & shiney..!

For the final chapter in this saga, please vote at www.automodeling.com after Nov. 30th 2009. The finished Willys will be posted with other roadsters for the 2009 WMBMR title..!

Thanks,

[Foxer]

That looks well on it's way to one fine roadster!

[jbwelda]

wow that is sweet. great looking body with the top gone and that engine is super. i esp dig the belt arrangement and pulleys!

[Alyn]

I remember this one since it was one of the first "stand out" builds that I saw when first visiting MCM.

Top notch design and workmanship. The color suits it well too. It'll be a tough one to beat when it gets down to the voting for the AMBMR competition.

Hi one & all,

Are you kidding? I've been eagerly awaiting progress on this. The paint is sweet. Is candy red over a brass base?

[Scott Colmer]

Wow, Jeff!!!!! I'm impressed! All the attention to detail paid off on the paint and the engine. The color is, well, beautiful! What a stunner!

Hey thanks Scott & everyone else as well,

It makes me feel good when I get positive feedback on my custom engines. I keep telling myself "this is it, the last one" then I hear good remarks about them & my ego takes to the clouds..LOL...

The car color is kustom made but not that far from Scott's Uncertain C. I call it Hot Cinner Pearl a mix of HOK Cinnimon Pearl with a pinch of red dye in it. If you don't have oil soliable red dye, then just use a few drops of candy apple red..! Mix until a bronze fog appears & serve with your favorite appitizer.

BTW- congrats to Mr. Colmer as his cars represents us So. Cal. gents at GSL this year & he has 2 photos in MCM to prove it ! I guess Gregg just can't get enough of that Yellow car, well Scott niether can we..! WELL DONE BUD - say Hi to Nani & the kids...

Beautiful! It all flows, and I love the paint!

[Steven Zimmerman]

This is a beautiful model with a lot of work in it. Beautiful paint and a sharp color! I like the flowing front fenders,and the engine is cool and unique ! However,I think it stops'flowing' where the rear fenders start; mayhap I would have filled in the rear wheel opening at the leading edge, and pulled it out a 'lil bit to match the heaviness of the front fenders. Just my opinion (grin)......

[RatRod]

Man, this is a beauty Jeff!!! Love that engine, and your body mods & paint work are top notch as always!!!

[Hizoot]

Good call Steven,

I could have tucked the rear of my full fade away's tighter to the body & many would have... BUT that's the problem as I don't want just an other flowing lead sled as there are many "hot rod" elements surrounding those fenders. Yes the front is fat & a little heavy but it helps shirnk the oversized DuVall windshield IMHO. I extended the rear fenders as well & I did have a moment of choice & dared to be different to satisfy that hot rod look..! Do me a favor Steven & wait until it's photoed complete, then tell me what you think as I'd like to know, fair enough..?

Respectfully,

Hizoot
