My hot rod is a 41 Willys body by Antique and Collectable. If you read Streetrodder their ad looks like a south sea beach with a 32 coupe in it. Their bodies are a masterpiece. A friend came over who also has a Willys from somewhere and he asked how I got rid of all the mold flash and how I shined it all up. I said I used soap and water to wash it and a soft towel. This is the way it came. He said oh c...p what did I doo??
I got their bare pro street frame also. It's ok but I would like to do a few things differently next time around. It fits perfectly however.
I added the tube front end and 11 in Must brakes pretty easy. Setting the caster and camber was a bit of a challenge but it is ok now. The motor dropped right on the mounts and I made my own trans mount. I narrowed and sectioned the trans hump so there is a lot of foot room now.
power windows are electa glide which fit very nicely with the offset motor.
I have almost brand new 02 Cavalier seats. Dark Gray look like they were made for Willys
I did a 9 in Ford truck rear end. never again. The shocks are kinda sea legged for now. The frame could have been 2-4 in wider in the rear and the 4 link would have fit much better. As it is, it will run parallel link for the street and have 2 sets of holes to adjust for the track. These should be near optimum so it will be ok. takes about 10 minutes to set it up either way. I also have blind fasterners in the fenders and front end so I can remove everything by myself. This is a huge plus when you want to change tires or work on the motor or rear end. Again about 10 min.
I'm with in about 2000 of having it on the street but with out a real job it will have to wait for a bit I guess.
I posted a pic last night but I thnk the admin deleted it as it was huge. I forgot to check the size before posting. I'll try and get some later.
