    LOL sounds HEALTHY. My bud in trade school had a 56 chevy stock 265 two barrel with fenderwell headers and that is all. He put small washers between the header caps and drove the parking lot real slow and let it rev every once in awhile. SCARED off everybody nobody wanted to race him. Of Course he always kept the hood closed LOL.

    It's hard to believe that this is the same car that you started with. Epic Build, it must have felt great driving it and it is probably the first time that it has been driven in 40 or 50 years.

    It was built in the 60's I think by a guy named Moomjean! It has lived in northern Cali it's entire life.

    I hate to do it but I want to take the name off the door.

    Must have been the same guy with the "Moomjean" roadster. You may want to think twice before taking that name off the door.

    I could do one of those magnetic door signs and just cover it.

    I got a call from a magazine about doing a spread on my Willys addiction. Supossedly they want to take some photos at the beginning of September. Lately with work, I haven't had a free moment in about 2 years or more, so I'm in a mad rush to finish everything up in time.

    As of now the Jigsaw is at the upholsterer getting black leather diamond tuck and roll door panels and rear behind the seat panel along with black headliner and carpet. As soon as it leaves his shop it's going to be lettered.

    Congratulations on the Magazine feature. That's a big deal. I can't wait to see what it looks like with the lettering done and the black diamond interior.

    Well, I guess he doesn't pay a lot of attention to detail but thankfully it's just a race car.
    I do however think that I should diamond the seats.
