Looks good Steve..what a neat use for an old taxi chassis..The taxi club boys getting a bit precious over you misusing one of THEIR chassis,are they??Could be worse,,think what they say to us guys about ruining ModelTs,,and there were 15,000,000 of those suckers built..
Anyway,good build happening here,will keep an eye on it too..love Willys gassers..

Did the mod on the centre section last night, raised it slightly for tailshaft clearance, Couldn't make the mount though as couldn't find the TH400 mount i bought.







I did the panhard bar the other evening in square to match the ladder bars but forgot to post the pics.







I had a few hours spare this afternoon and my mate turned up today with a van so i got him to use it to pick up the body from my lockup, once we got back with it we played arund and mocked it up.

The firewall was removed as it won't be needed.










I bolted in some temperary wood spars to hold the body at the right height.












This will have to be removed soon.








Drilled & bolted a fender on, and drilled and bolted the frontend together.












Next we mocked up to get an idea how it will look.

That is so cool looking Steve,absolutely wantable,yeah I made that word up. Now back to the first question, I didn't know B & D made fish tank pumps so there is one thing I have learnt today,but where do the fish swim in it ???

Mate i can't tell you the aggro over this and its from fellow hotrodders, they don't say why they don't like it but prefer to talk behind my back on a private forum. I guess they havn't got the spine to say it to my face

Steve,its the same down here...There are a number of guys who have built fully fendered 33/34 coupes,and put them on late 80s/early 90s Mitsubishi L200 pickup frames..They fit well,with a small amount of modification,and the frames are CHEAP,solid and handle well..But do they get rubbished for doing it..my oath they do..Private forum??good stuff...you can say what ya want ,without fear of being taken to court,,,hmm,works well,ay..
Steve,find out who it is and confront them,then ask them how THEIR little project is coming along..If you can build that Willys so it looks right,and does the job...who cares whats under it..
