Hot Rods The Ultimate Willys Gasser Thread

I continue to be amazed by how many gassers Chuck Finders (RIP) had his influence on. Wonder how many?

 

I was about to say the same thing, it seems like his name pops up on a another car every time I open one of these threads.

 

I visited him at his shop in Ohio. He was very open about his ideas on how to build a '33 Willys. His latest creation had a subtle ground effects tunnel. I copied his frame design on my Willys and Anglias. On the way out he gave me a '33 hood ornament he had reproduced. I returned the favor years later when I won a case of Chevy oil filters at a drag race and gave it to him. I'm a Ford guy. R.I.P. Chuck.
