Here is how to make an Altered out of a J/L Willys. This is a pic of the finished Altered. This is part 1 out of a 3 part series. The car we will be working on for this build series will be going to Kim (chima). Tools used in Part 1 -Xacto Knife -Dremel Cut off tool Small and medium round grinding stones -Hobby drill bit, size 59 -Sharpie marker Perfectly good Willys in stock form. Let's chop this mother up . I drew guide lines on the body with a marker of where I will take my Dremel using a cut off tool. Rough cut Smoothed things up with the Dremel using a round grinding stone Primered Drilling two holes on the trunk where the wing mounts will go. I used a 59 hobby drill bit. Next part of the series we will start working on the front end. I should have part 2 done in about a week.

You'll have to start looking at die cast cars to find the right one your looking for. Check Muscle Machines & Johnny Lightning. Please post pics of your rail when you get a camera.
I'm also gonna be doing a slingshot dragster and am currently looking for a body to build around. Any suggestions?
I should have part 3 of the Altered build up done next month. I lost the original pictures I took. Building another one now.

you might look at "Action" diecast. I have a Winston Funny car ,, has a wicked engine in it... I keep hiding it so I don't start cutting it up.. The High end Diecast rails might be a source for Rail bodies too.... I'm sure they will need to be modified.. Just a thought. Chris

LOL, My dog ate the third installment. Only kidding. What happen was I switched computers and never transferred all my old photos over. I do plan on building another Altered in the near future and I'll be sure to add the third installment. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
