"Envy" 41 Willy's

This got completed mid 2005 and is pretty much now in retirement after a long and victorious show career

WOW, what an incredibal looking build. awesome paint, the chassis looks first class and that engine is a work of art.

Very cool man!!!!

While I was In Target today Knox I found some great new wheels for this thing and they are almost perfect in style to what I would have like to use when I first built it in back in 2005 so off come the Center lines (fitted late last year) and on go the new ones! Everything was going well until I went downstairs and little 2 year old Lincoln decided to venture to my Bench and help Daddy on His OWN and kindly liberated the car of a few parts that really did'nt need removing, so now I have some extra repairs while I upgade the Wheels.



Here's the new rolling stock.

ouch, nows the time to have your young bloke help you fix her up. my boys are always keen to see what toys dad has hiding in the desk lol, none broken yet.
those wheels look great too

Here's where the new wheels are coming from, Great score for 15 Bucks.

Spent some time installing the new wheels and doing the repairs today, also gave it a wax job and took some pics using my new lights that I got at Bunnings today for my garage/photobooth (still under constuction) Here's some fresh pics












Here's a few pics with it's Gasser cousin ("AUSSIE SCHLONG")that's still being built

an absolute work of art.

Don`t you just hate it when your half through a project and someone has the same ideas or parts and finish before you.

That is very smooth and well detailed !!! Great job !!!!

Wow!! Very Smooth - I really like the engine detail.

anywhere and everywhere, I never usually walk out of a department or Toy store without checking the diecasts as they can be a good source for rims at a reasonable price ,$20 or below just to score some cool wheels is feasible and the left over diecast can always be rebuild with something from the stash, most other wheels I get from either Japan or the USA via the net! HTH

I'm green with envy - you've got such a nice willys Paul...

Wow is that thing clean. I love the color.
