1941 Willys Street Rod - Mild Fairground Cruiser

[Layla's Keeper]

Well, yet again I've managed to finish a model. This time around it's the Revell 1941 Willys Street Rod kit, which I've performed some mild modifications to in order to make it a little more "streetable". You don't see many early Hemis built up for cruising, so out came the blown 392 and in went the TPI 350 out of the Revell '37 Ford Coupe kit, to which I added a set of pewter headers by a local hobby shop. A little filling work on the hood and a nice coat of Kustom Kolors Purple Passion over Gloss Black and the result was this beauty which I am VERY pleased with.

GReat looking job. I like the way the paint looks depending how the light hits it. Ive been looking at getting this kit. how did it go together???

[Layla's Keeper]

Well, the kit goes together very well. Overall, the detail is quite good especially in the interior and on the chassis. I would have been happier if the four-link had a more positive mount to the frame, and the tabs that are intended to hold the hood down are an idiotic idea that are best cut away from the hood. Also, you may or may not have some difficulty fitting the windshield with its molded-in trim into the windshield opening in the body.

Otherwise, it's a great kit. Easily the equal of their stellar Deuce kits.
