Cornbinder = International Harvester.

I remember when I was a kid and my dad would take me with him to the local track. He had a buddy that was running a 32 with a big block. He could lift the front end hitting second. He found a set of leaf springs and mounted them something like the way you did. He used a set of wheels off a hand truck. He would put white shoe polish on the wheels each run and we would check to see it both wheels hit the ground or not.

Trunk pins are great Steve, we don't need no hinges!!!! For sure if there's no trunk lid hanging out the back of the car you won't bang into it!!!! Friend of mine wound up with 11 stitches in his forehead after an encounter with the trunk lid last summer at the drags. The usual between rounds thrash and more hurrying then paying attention, but I doubt that made it hurt any less!!!!!!

thanks Dave, funnily enough i have a sizeable bump on my head at the moment, banged it on the trunk opening.

Very cool how you turned those bolts into trunk pins. Me thinks it took a lot of skill and patience!

Not really mate, anybody could of done it.

Heck Steve,did I read somewhere here that you are also in the progress of building a '26 T Coupe??? Heck with the progress you are making on the Willy's I believed that had been put into storage long ago.

Just putting the motor together as we speak Whip. Just took a few weeks off it to get the Willys going.

Very nice work.....thats gonna be a killer ride when done......I lkes the idea for the lid pins.....would of never thought of it...COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL....
Keep up the great work

With that extra piece on the bottom did you have to pull the lower bottom of the car out each side to be able to lift the body up and off? As usual the workmanship is to your high standard,good on ya mate.
