8th Scale Pro Street Willys

[hot ford coupe]

Great frame, Rick. That MF body is a real winner. That's really going ot come together nicely.

Thanks Jeff. It sure helps when you have good aftermarket parts to play with and fellow modellers like Dave who help out with real life photos.

Rick, I really like what you've done with this build.....it's got the "look".
She sits a bit low on the frame for my tatses (I'd like to see just a little more rubber above the wheel rims) but that's just me. I drive myself nutz thinking about things like is there enough clearance for the front wheels to turn without the tires hitting the fenders especially when cornering.
I know it's a model but I've spent so many years working on 1:1 stuff I can't seem to shake the full size mentality. Yeah I know......I need professional help.

You going with a nuts & bolts interior or are you going to bling it up some?

[Rick]

Don, one day I'm gonna visit your village and we'll have a chat (over a few browns) about the "look" vs functionality. I give thought to that to, but at the end of the build I'm still stuck with the idea that its a model so why not build it for the looks.

My plan is to detail the chassis and interior so that it can all be seen with the body off.
