Speedster Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Start of the Revell Willys kit, very very nice kit as far model cars go. I don't like the engine and trasmission in the kit. Just a personal choice, I perfer Ford power. So I'm kit bashing it with the 427 engine and C6 automatic transmission from the '64 Fairlane kit by Revell. I hope to capture the look of a mid 60s Gasser. If you like Drag cars from the '60s I would highly recommend both kits. Just about done with the chassis. I scratch built a steering box and brake pedal assembly. Added some bolts to the chassis, suspension and floor. I filled the injector/scoop hole in the hood and also removed the chrome trim. Hope in the next week to have the chassis painted. I hope to get better pictures with my 35mm. Speedster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
