I'm thinking Ladyshifter's Comet would be much cooler.

You guys have all done a great job on this car. I can't wait to see it next week.

 

OK. let's pull this back up for the 'dinner theatre'. So, you've picked up the headers today...we'll expect pics tonight.

Mark, thanks so much for all the time you take to post for us too! Like someone else said; it's like a novel. And this one's a real 'page turner'! This is such an awesome and exciting build thread!

You're gonna feel sooooooo good when you're all done, and you can finally just soak it all in. Congrats to you for being able to experience it!

Thanks for the great comment Donnie....Thanks for stopping by John I know you are enjoying this one. I put some serious time in the car today and just came in at 9:00pm.........HEADERS!!!!!!

 

These headers are custom made by Steve Kent and are done as close as he can to the photos.

 

Dave and myself installed the nose piece so I can fabricate the moon tank and dry sump oil tank mounts.....man is this car giving me the chills.

 

The best is yet to come.

 

In the days of Fred and his Father they were doing this car right.....I can see how they ingineered this Willys to run fast and look beautiful.

 

I told You guys it would be worth It!!!!!!!!!!

 

Great thread, I can't believe I haven't found it before. That is one car I remember seeing in race coverage in the magazines time an again in the 60's. Great work and it is great to see that it is being restored to that level.

 

I can't wait to see the doors on!

 

Hopefully monday Kev.

 

NOS B&M badge going on the Clutch-Flite.

 

I am in the process of fabricating the gas and oil tank mounts....very tight area in the car.

 

The two 6 volt batteries were mounted in 1/4" plate steel boxes for weight transfer.

 

The more we mount the more impressive the car looks.

 

Chrome column and rechromed steering wheel was installed. Also the glove box doors and gauges were installed.
