40 Willys Pickup

Here is new one me working on its a AMT 2-1 kit,can be built as a coupe or pickup,which i am building it has flip front,found side draft cabbys for the motor,pinched wheels of smoothster for it going to drop the front end.still working on colour.

need help with ideas on colour,leaning to bright red.

I think a nice candy red would do it.

SOunds like its going to be real mover. How about a deep metallic purple to really highlight those curves?

have gotten it down in the front useing parts of the smoothster front end,will be going to paint it monza red,if i can get it.

here is new photo of pickup.

Lookin' good, I reckon the nose will come down another couple of inches once you get the engine installed.

Looking good Allan, I like the wheels but has anyone else had problems with the tyres on the smoothster kit splitting?

so far they have not,will watch them close.me going to hinge the bed cover and put a i.c.e. in the back

This one will be a head turner for sure!! copper is ok, but I'm with Tezza on this one, Deep metalic purple!! cant wait to see it finished. Cheers

i like the sound of the copper paint with an orange clear, should get a lot of depth with colour like that. i like were this is going allan.

the paint that i have is tamiya acrylic,with the copper u have to put clear coat on it.

found a set of sidepipes for pickup they will sit under doors.

going with metalic red as colour,found running boards for it of a F100,they will go from front guards to rear ones.

here is 2 new photos,the engine will have side draught cabbys webbers,u can see running board,lot more to do.

Nice work so far. These were a cool looking car/truck and i like what you have done so far.

the colour is testors enamel 1125 metal,its metalic red.

That's really starting to look good now. Red is definitely the right colour.

the colour looks like dark cherry red in sunlight.

trying to get back to this one,will be changing colour to candy red going to put the deep dish moon wheels from AMT's 34 5 window coupe.the colour is made up from Tamiya paint going with metallic red then coat of red clear coat them a clear top coat.

have smooth the firewall going to BMF it to give it chrome look.

This looking kewl as beans man, how did I miss this?
