This is the reissued Model King '43 Willys gasser pickup body sitting on the Revell '41 Willys Stone, Woods & Cook chassis. I had to cut the fenders just a little bit to make room for the headers.

The decals are from ScaleModelingByChris. I like the way the silver "HemiFied" lettering balances with the chrome wheels. The parachute pack is made from balsa wood and satin fabric.

The doors are hinged on steel sewing pins. They took a little bit of work to get fitted, especially after a few coats of paint and a few more coats of clear were applied, but they work pretty well.

The engine is from the Revell '41 Willys Stone, Woods & Cook kit. The Mallory energizer box for the magneto and the blower belt decals are also from ScaleModelingbyChris.

I hope that you enjoy looking at this one as much as I did building it. Overall, it went together pretty well.

Another Great build! Your engine compartments are Crazy with detail! The silver Hemified decal.... Is it a decal? I have thought of doing my own lettering with Foil.

Nice conversion!

Yes, the silver "HEMIFIED" lettering is a decal. SMBC also has some gold decals. They're really well done!

Thanks, guys!! Here's a picture of the engine and chassis detail before the body was added.

Here are a couple pics of the engine and chassis detail:

Thanks for looking!!

The engine and chassis in the 41 Revell Willys drag kits is so nice that I bought several "spares" for other projects!!

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
