Man... I love it! That Willys is getting very sexy!

I would agree also. Not to high, not to low! Just plain Bad A$$!

Yes, all the above, looking extremely awesome. I noticed that you are the first house off a busy road, do you worry about having your car out in view to the many that may wish to steal your hard work instead getting out and working for something like that ???

The car thieves up there might be as lazy as the ones down here...It doesnt go,so they will leave it alone..Either that,or Steve sleeps standing up in the front window of his house with a shotgun in his hands..
Yup,,looking good Steve..Real nice..

Like Robin says mate, also where would they sell it in England, it's a very small circle here and everybody knows everybody else.

Just my thoughts. I believe the scoop needs to be at more of a angle, not so level. I believe for that point in time.

I tried that and it looked a bit goofy but i know what your saying.

How far are you from painting Steve?

About a month i would think Steve.

Your making great progress! I hope you post some videos of the motor running, and maybe your first track run!

Managed to sort another job last night in a couple of hours :yes:
Picked up a mini wiper system at the swapmeet and it's almost a perfect fit for the willys All it needed was 2 of the cable tubes shortening and went straight in

The wheel boxes needed a spacer with a slight angle on them to sit straight, these were made from some nylon bar, here's the parts and a wheel box fitted.













Next the tubes were shortened, didn't have anymore tube so joiners were turned on the lathe and soldered into the tube.








Completed assembly








Motor bolted into position








Dashboard refitted







:thanks:

nicely done

Wam/Bam thank ya mam

Originally i had thought of not using the beltline stainless trim as at $400 plus shipping it was an expensive extra i could do without but i kept looking at the old girl and thought something was missing from the overall look.
I realised that Willys just don't look right with out the trim so a quick call to Mike at Willys parts and they were on the way. I received them on saturday and was itching to see what it looked like with them on the car, well she who must be obeyed don't like me working on cars on sundays so i managed to find a bit of time tonight
The fit & finish on the trims is top notch and they fit the body a treat without any tweaking at all which also tells me the body is correct also.

Anyways heres a couple of pics with the trims just taped in place until i find time to fit them with all the various clips.

I think it transforms the car ???








:thanks:
