- This version of Revell's
Stone, Woods & Cook Willys Coupe was constructed between June 1996 and
February 1997. I set out to build a fat fendered street rod with plenty of
tire and engine crammed inside and (surprise) lots of purple paint
on the outside.
-
- Modifications include shaving the body, reforming the front end for
the photoetched grille, and contouring the restyled
headlights. AMT's Dodge Coronet donated the basics for the highly modified
426 Hemi while the narrowed chassis and altered suspension components came
from Revell's '88 Pro Street Beretta. Both the body and chassis are
painted with '95 Ford Ultra Violet Metallic lacquer while the engine and
rear end are '69 Chevrolet Daytona Yellow lacquer.
-
- The interior is virtually scratch built along with seats from AMT's
'96 Chevrolet Blazer. All of the scratch built interior panels as well as the
dashboard, steering column, and seats had to be installed through the
doors after the body was mated to the rolling chassis. It's fully
upholstered in Silver Grey.
-
- Aluminum, resin, photoetched and other products from 15 aftermarket
companies decorate the car throughout.
-
- The Milwaukee NNL in April of 1997 was the second event where the
model was shown and photographed for the feature article published in the
March 1998 issue of Car Modeler Magazine. It has since appeared in several
other magazines including Scale Auto Enthusiast Contest Annual '97 - '98 and Rod
& Custom.
