History 1933 - 1936 Willys, picture thread

Steve it was good seeing you in person. I'm tired right now will gather up my thoughts tomorrow.

Pat

 

The hinges are missing the bracket part, did you get those also? The handle in a curved "T" is rumble seat and the other is correct for a trunk. The short side goes toward the bottom, long side up. The tail light bucket and license plate bracket is also correct

 

I knew that you would have the answer. Now I need to find the missing tail light parts.

 

some old photos of mine I found while looking for something else....

 

Need help identifying these headlite rings and lenses,,,, mid 60's Volkswagen?

 

This one has 67 up VW headlight rings.

 

does this tail light only need the gl*** lenses or does the red lens need a metal band to secure it.

 

Just a red lens for the stop. Its a bear to get in without chipping the edges but just takes a little practice and patients. That spring steel piece pushes out the lens. A white lens goes on top to light up the license plate, there's two small screws and brackets to hold that in.

 

I tried early Chevy and VW rims but neither fit very well. I final bought a set of repro gl*** lenses and made my own rims from 1/4" aluminum with a jig saw, router to roll the edges, and polisher. I also made the headlight bucket by breaking the front out of a standard sealed beam and making a male mold of the parabola. I then laid up fibergl*** buckets off that mold and had them chrome plated. Work pretty well! That green blob is the Willys headlight bucket mold propping up the fibergl*** mold for my Mysterion clone.

 

in my o/t car i used a funnel for the mold. just gl***ed them in. worked great.

 

got pictures?

 

i have to get my computer fixed as it will not attach anything. it fried once and after the rebuild it still had problems. this is still one of them. i haven't had the money to pay for the fix.

 

Simply the most beautiful car design ever conceived.

 

Last picture with the 377" small block at 9.56 et Going with a new set up next year. The old 377 only went 13 years without freshening and will go in the daughter in laws 57 bell air LOL

 

New set up 400" monster

 

Holy Moly I just took a time warp. Great memories with that car in Brisbane!!

 

Yes it is. But with a blown 350. The other Willys is Bill Fittings that will be back out on the road in a few months.

That is awesome any plans for it?

 

@Oldtin77 tell us more about it. Do you own it now? What are your plans for it, are you planning on taking it back to as raced? How about some more pics and details as eng/trans, rear end wheels and such.
