Thread: Oh no not another Willys Gasser build, this time a Willys shop truck

The more I looked at the new sides the more I disliked the back plate so bit the bullet today and dug out all the small offcuts of Fairlane grill I had and welded them together to get 2 pieces big enough, a proper crap job it was too, had to carefully sand of the anodizing and still didn't weld nice, must of been made from old cans !!!












Put the grill mesh in with the thin aluminium backing and looked better but then I had an idea of using the Red tinted offcuts from the windows, I'll let you guys decide which is best ??? bear in mind the seat base will be black.

My vote is the solid aluminum plate. The red translucent doesn't do it for me, but I expect it would look different with the black base. Still think the solid aluminum is classier.

I like the translucent red, maybe with some LED back lighting behind it as curtesy lights for when the doors open.

cover the solid alum plate with seat fabric?

I like both the above suggestions and my thought was to paint the ali sheet only a slightly different black from the base but while typing I don't think that would be good either so I will go with either the courtesy lighting idea or the fabric idea.

Whip why does the text you type come up so small, tricky to read ???

Because he's chosen not to use the default type face/style, and instead, specifies a different one from the menu at the top of the 'Reply' comment box.

Don't know why Whip did that as it comes up real small and is hard to read.

The new tires will look Killer! I liked the originals, and like the added height they give, but who can argue with pie crusts?

Whatever you choose it will look great I'm sure. The theatre lighting is cool too!

My lady like some hard Dicken's cider from time to time.

I think the red plate would look cool. It just sets off the detail better than the aluminum backing. Just my .02 though.

I'm sure it'll look great whichever way you go, Steve.

get one of them fire place lights for those artificial fire places-will look like flames down there heating the car and seats
