"the mad modeler"

the Weekend Warrior

A few pics of the weekend warrior Willys as it went along. "Earl" and I wrenched this car from a SW&C drag model kit and it was not only my first "mod/bash" attempt, but also a dam blast to do! And believe it or not, it took 1st place and best in automotive at the Pittsburgh Hobbytown Spring '07 Show! Tried to give it that "made-in-the-backyard on a shoestring budget" look. A builder friend suggested calling the project "Lookin' for a Sponsor" so it stuck! The 55 Ford pickup that will haul this car to the track was my first "truck" attempt so kept my fingers crossed throughout but it turned out a-ok I guess. Thanks for peeking and as usual, any comments you have please lemme know- any input is very much appreciated~**~

    Here's the weekend warrior- after a little make-over that is! "Earl" and the gang finally ran into a little money so guess aht he did? Slammed it into the Willys! And w-o-w what a job they did......Gotta love that candy apple~

    Wow! Earl spent his money wisely! Shoot us a pix with the hood in place when you get a chance. Much obliged!

    Kevin,
    When you first did the Upgrade on this I thought it was a new build ? Stunning result, beautiful workmanship, sure wish I had one like this.
