This is one of my project, one of the 100 I have... ;D ;D ;D Its a 1/24 Jeep Willys MB, and I think to scratch build it. This is the front axle compared with the MPC (in Silver). I completely rebuilt it for give to it a real shape. Another view with the open space for the axle shaft.

Fabrizio My Friend, impressive work as always. I have no doubt that the rest of the build will be just as outstanding.

Thank you Dave! This time will be something different, challenging and funny to build! This is the engine I'll put on it. Its a Ford 427 Shoc, it was in a 60s MPC Jeepster kit. Another view... And the intake, that it will be a fuel injection system. Soon some pics about the chassis...

The 427 SOHC has always been one of my favorite engines. The 427 SOHC that came in the MPC kits were about the most correct. There have been many produced over the years that are not even close to being right.
The injector manifold with the linkage and injectors looks fantastic, great work as always.

Good, I didn't know the MPC 427 SOHC were the most correct. Before the last week end I made the big work on the chassis, all scratchbuilt, for the measure I used a Italeri Fire Jeep Willys in 1/24. The chassis almost done. It looks a gruviera swiss cheese... ;D ;D ;D Particular of the front of the chassis. The back side... I also made the frame, but I need to download the pic from the camera. As you can see, the material that I used was cardboard from a Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope... This is what I call "recycling"... ;D ;D ;D
