| description | Well here's a few basic pics on the making of a Willys Wheeler driver .I made the arm mount tube from a plastic tube donated by Nigel WW-Nut - cheers , this is bonded in with Milliput and a hole drilled through his arm and reccessed on top to 'flush ' the screw below the arm line
I'm no photographer ,so don't kill me !!

WOW I missed this one Brother Kev! Very nice modification!! NICE CALL!!
Yeah, this is turning out sweet! great work kev!
Sweet! I am missing the driver in my Wheeler and this sure will come in handy. Great one Kev.
Thanks again , I think so too , the idea came to me when I was looking at an original Wheeler driver and saw the similarites between the SS drivers body and the Wheeler drivers body , a bit of cutting ,sawing and bonding , and here we are
Again, very well done. Maybe that´s close to the way Tamiya did it with the development of the original prototype of the wheeler driver !? Willy is the best, no doubt !
Thanks Goldnest , yes these are great fun and a very 'interesting' design of chassis ,lots off stuff to mess around with which I like . I had a Wild Willy 1 years ago and loved it and now after driving the old model Pajeros and experiencing the stunt wheelies again , I wanted one of these as I also love the body shell design - all in all you MUST get one - enjoy
Cool little lad you created! Btw, that chassis looks like fun. Is it in any way? Never had one of these, so would love to hear from the enhousiasts!
With the re-release of the Sand Scorcher I can see a lot of driverless Wheeler owners doing this. Nice work Kev
Thanks guys , *James ,I have some close ups to upload a bit later
So thats what you needed the arms and steering wheel for... Great idea!
Very cleaver. Can you show a close up of how the figure mounts to the chassis?
The finished article looks great - nice work Kev
Sweet !! well done !!
