Hello gentlemen,

After building Armor for 5 straight years, i decided its time to do a car model. Always love the 41 Willy's so i pulled the trigger and built one....My first. I kept it more of a street rod and wanted it clean and free of decals all over it. I was built OOB with plug wires added ans a scratched MSC Ignition Box. Its painted in Tamiya Gloss Red and then waxed and polished...no gloss clear or wet sanding. Hope you fellas like it.








All comments welcome.

Oh Man! ... that is nice! ... brings back memories. I really miss hot-rodding.

Pretty slick model. Nice red finish and engine details.

The grille is OOB too?
