Model40fan posted this in another thread and I feel like it should be posted under this catagory as well. Thanks for taking the time to do this Smitty!

Edit: Here's a link to the Redlinederby blog containing the pics Smitty lost: http://www.redlinederby.com/blog/category/customizing/

THANKS CARL, i tried to post a new topic. can't find "NEW TOPIC" tried log-out/log-in... no, so i post in h w pics.
It's a helluva lot easier than building a 32 sedan delivery on a way-2-fast base with a Madfast engine that has tri-pot carbs added!!!
But seriously, click on "Boards" at the top of the page. Find which 'folder' you want to post in, click on that folder. Now you will see "NEW TOPIC*" and post away. Give it a try!
HOT ROD WILLYS, '41 COUPE BODY FILLED HOOD, SANS GRILL, ON A '34 FORD COUPE BASE, FASTER THAN ESTER WHEELS,
; OIL THE INSIDE OF THE BODY, SPREAD J.B.QUICK UNDER THE TRUNK AND ALONG THE INSIDE OF THE DOORS, CAREFULLY SET THE BODY ON THE BASE, SHIM THE WHEELS WITH CARDSTOCK, LET SET-UP, POP OFF BODY, WASH INSIDE OF BODY AND THE MOLDED SURFACES OF THE J.B.QUICK... PAINT, RE-PPAINT TILL YOU'RE HAPPY ;

Just wanted to post that I turned Smitty's great photos into an "official" post in the RLD blog. Really cool photos that are great to see and use as a reference. Please keep posting such photos here and I'll add them to this post.

That's why i don't race stockers... i have no idea how fast they are stock.... with the parts from 2,3,or 4 different hot wheels what would you compare it to ?
Stripping and axle/wheel swapping is pretty straight forward. For paint I just use Home Depot spray paint, gloss. I usually put a primer coat on the metal and then color. I haven't done anything fancy though. Just paint and then some decals maybe. Can't wait to see what you create!
