Pro,
Your car is really lookin good, great work !!!! I love the color combo on the flames with the pin stripe against the white, very tasty. It's one bad ass car with a very unique look to it. I look forward to hearing it run, as I am sure you are.
Thanks everybody, always good to hear compliments of your car. I cant wait to hear this thing run. Now I am in the process of trying to get the cat together to run. Never ran a blower before.Here is a video of my Jet boat, with the wifey driving(lol), crappy video, but the 521 ford stroker run good. I love big blocks :LOL:

Drug everything out of the garage for some cleaning. Sometimes you just have to clean :D Was trying to make the Lonestar Roundup, but want be done run out of money for a couple of weeks:p When you get close to finshing it , it just nickles and dimes you to death :LOL:
I did the same thing this past weekend. A winter's worth of dust, leaves, and miscellaneous refuse. I need a bigger garage!
Man your car looks fantastic outside! I say use your credit card for the rest of the stuff!! Worry about the money later.:D

Pro,
Your 30 looks great and I love the ScoutII in the background, does it have the 345? I used to have one just like it but repainted it to look like the Eddie Bauer bronco paint theme, I even had the Eddie Bauer badges. I took it to the Ford dealer one day to look at a truck and the salesman noticed the Scout, I told him that Eddie Bauer went to International first with the idea to make a Eddie Bauer Scout and after making this one they decided against it so this was a one of a kind. I somehow managed to keep a straight face and never told him I was kidding.:D
Jack.
Yea it has a 345, I have headers, alum. intake, holley 3 barrel, and a HEI(DUI) DIST. I got tired of messing with points. Has a spring over, reverese shackel, and 4 inch springs all around, lus another 2" in blocks in rear. I made the front reveres shackel so I dropped the mounts around 3". I need to do brake lines and a dropped arm. I already have the dropped drag link. And its the
WIFEY'S :D She has been driving it for years. She has rather be in it sweating than driving her newer Jeep with A.C. Here is a pick before I lifted it more.
I wonder if the sales man still thinks that.(lol) Got any picks?
Pro,
Will have to check for pics, don't remember taking any of just the Scout but I must have some pics of it included in the background. Looked behind where I am typing this and this and on the wall is a pic of the bear in the back of the Scout that I shot 19+ years ago a few years after I painted the Scout. Will look tomorrow for a better shot. Sold the Scout with 246,000 miles on it, it ran like a sewing machine and the heads had never been off of it. It used maybe a qt. of oil every 3000+ miles and I swear, with chains on it would climb trees.:LOL::rolleyes:;)
Jack.
wicked ride love it
that is one nice ride
Blow the over grown Scout,:) I want the Ford Pick-up as man that looks means as that bear must of been two seconds before the bullet penetrated him. I like the idea of airbags to be able to sit her down like that every time you turn the key off.
IS it just me or does that metal look like it was cast? ( the steering arm ) Parts like this should be FORGED.
Well been sidetracked with Honey DO'S :LOL: then I ended up dragging a willys truck project home,got a bed, extra doors, back of a 37 ford truck, with what I spent on it I could have bought what I needed to crank my car:p, But I have an addiction towards rusty stuff, and also Willys stuff doesnt always pop up :3dSMILE:, Mounted my tank, ran fuel lines and have gauges done.
Looks great, YES some parts do not come up all of the time so you have to grab them when they do. Willys parts are not falling off trees. Nice score! Don Jr.
Ditto love them Willys trucks and prewar cars!
Very Nice build with a great stance!!!!
Attachment 50699Attachment 50698Well I am slow, and moneys are tight so , I am getting close finally. Going to run brake lines this weekend and finally put the new blower belt on and crank hub pulley. Got the B&m Hi tech cooler with fan mounted abouve the rear end housing on the frame. Got my windshield in :D
Do I need to shrink my pictures. I kinda like not using Photobucket, Taking awhile to get used to the new site.
The A is really looking good!
I size my pics to 600X4 something, can put 5 in a post then.
Looks great. Like the blue flames
Man that thing is SHARP ! :) Wicked looking too. You did a really nice job on it.
Don
Need some advice, my intake is an old school crager, no water neck has two #10 ports in the rear for water and two #6 in front. Do I plumb the fronts for water or rear? If I use the front is two #6 enough flow for return to the radiator? I am useing a Meizer water pump, either a 55 or a 30gph. I have no room for a mech pump, it is comming off .Need expert help if this plumbing going to work?Attachment 50739

Very cool! That is a seriously wicked car!!
Congrats! It's a georgeous ride!
congrats on the award!
Looks great! Do you drive it, or does it get trailered?
Attachment 60073Attachment 60072I drive it around my area, but still little. It got a ride on my beat up rusty open trailer to the Autorama. I can't see around the motor very good, and can't see out the back at all, pretty much I just built a big old HotWheels :):LOL:
This one is next on my build and will be easier to drive a 35 Willys panel, will be a gasser :DAttachment 60071
That IS a big hotwheels car, and would make an awesome hotwheels, you could look into having Hotwheels make it. It would be very cool sitting on the dash.
Nothing wrong with a big HotWheels!! The Willy's looks to be a sweet ride in the making, too!
The A is awesome and ,yes, an excellent description, Hotwheels Car. I really like the finish of everything about that car, the trim is awesome with the matching blue and white. What happened to the Willy's pickup you had found and purchased, moved on or stalled away safely for another day ? The Willy's panel delivery would be rare as hens teeth. I like that too and will you be doing a build thread ?
