'41 Willys Build...
Now that I stripped the black paint off, it's time to paint the body...black...obviously! :)
I really like this paint!
The body stripped and wiped down with paint thinner...
And painted...
Nothing is glued together, but it is looking cool...
So, it's back to the fab shop for final assembly...
I glued in the axles and weight last night with JB Quick Weld. And I used Locktite stick and seal (indoor) to glue in the windshield and the blower...
I just have to glue the interior in (to the top of the lead with stick as nd seal) and install the grill. I had forgotten about the grill...I need to cut it off the original chassis
- i know the stick n' seal is slow, but how do you like it ? — model40fan
- it's not that slow. It works nice for non-stressed areas — 72_Chevy_C10
All glued together and tested...
Is it faster than my Neet Streeter?
Nope! Quick though

Okay, now that the Neet Streeter chassis is fit to the Willys body and the Willys body has been modded to accept a different blower, I can take all the parts and weight them to determine how much lead I am going to need to get to 57 grams.
It is a little hard to see in this pic, but there is a block of lead on the scale with all the parts, coming in at 56 grams...

And here is a pic of the lead in the chassis, along with the rest of the parts...

I have a bag of 50 caliber lead shot...that weigh 18 grams...that I can hammer flat and, in this case, I had to trim a little off (with a hammer and chisel) to make weight.
