Willys Modified

Postby kcl » Sun Sep 09, 2012 6:32 am

Hi
I'm new to this forum, but my friend Larry Lype suggested I post
some builds over here, so I'll start with this

Started with a Willys body the hood is from sheet plastic and the bumpers
are made from paper clips. Decals are from Polecat.
Not made to represent an actual car, I just needed decals that worked
with the car.

Thanks for looking

Great work indeed. You really added a lot of detail in this little hot rod.

I take it you made your own wheels?

Thanks
Actually those are old tyco-pro or HP2 wheels from the flip up
funny cars. Tyco used them on both. Used rear wheels front and back
and drilled them out to fit the axles.

That is a nice job. We often use Willys bodies as the basis for vintage modifieds. This one is on a T-Jet chassis that had the wheelbase stretched. I need to get bigger wheels and tires on the back!

Very,very nice! Is that an A/FX type chassis is see under there? Also, are those the same wheels that TYCO used on the Pinto and Gremlin modifieds?
Really great work, I like the car a lot.

Hope ya win a bunch of races with it! Enjoy... Ernie
