This one was inspired by a how-to article in an old issue of "Rod & Custom Models".... The body from an old AMT Willys kit was heavily massaged and mounted on the chassis from Revell's 22jr. roadster kit.

I did! I had to go clean myself off after seeing this! WOW !!!!! Fair warning, I think I'll do a take-off idea on something like this. I got's a spare Standard Coupe body at my disposal that I was thinking of doing a diorama with, but now I'm thinkin' A LOT differently!!!!!! The frame would be easy to scratch-build, and I know I got enough parts-box mills to come up with the rest.....Hmmmm. Got me INSPIRED, Marty. Thank you. I can see a dragrace of the "Freaks" coming up soon......

If I can scare up the time, I'll cut up another one and post the tutorial for ya. It might be a while though 'cuz I'm already committed to about a half dozen or so other projects that have deadlines approachin' real fast!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with too.....
Hmmmm...... Maybe I'd better give that little injected nailhead a tune-up though!!! LOL
