well, I am biting off a big chunk.

I finally pulled the willys I got a couple of years ago into the shop. Its BAD. Lets see where it goes.

 

wtf happened to the roof? Chop gone bad?

 

Ditto on the roof.........The rest of the car doesn't look too bad. Good luck and keep us posted!

 

We have all seen what you can do with alot less.Have at it.

 

Jim, when you say I am biting off a big chunk, I expected to see a bunch of crumpled up former body panels laying about the shop floor. Looking at what youre starting with two, three days tops and that is figuring in a vacation with the family! Work your magic Jim!!

 

This one should be a cake walk for ya. Your last build was the stuff legends are made of.

 

That car is NOT in good shape, I've seen it in person. It resembles the parts and pieces from three accidents, and two parts cars. I have no doubt that Jim can pull it off, but damn, that thing is trashed...

 

I'm sure it's already finished (it's 4:30 here, how long does it take?) and he's about half done taking an old refrigerator and a Campbell's soup can to build a tow truck.

Looking forward to your progress. The saving of car's like this are an inspiration and, simply put, fun to watch

...Not sure...it is a 40 or 41 willys ?..wonder what the rest of the coupe looks like....this would be a great thread from start to finish....

 

It looks like something the character "Buffalo Bill" from "Silence of the Lambs" would build!

This is gonna be great! Lots and lots and lots of pics on this one I hope!

EDIT: oh, yeah: subscribed.

 

I bet it will be done and screaming down the track at the HAMB DRAGS!

 

It's going to be interesting to tag along.

 

Nice ,its still a real steel Willy's coupe .I could only dream of having one in any condition.It really doesnt look too bad though even with the roof deal...

 

Yes,
I don't feel as crazy watching you start with that!
TP

 

Holy crap, looks like some of my work.

 

lol it looks better than mine

 

by the time your done with it , it will look like new lol

 

No updates yet! ...........you had a couple of hours I was hoping on seeing some progress...............lol..........You are one skilled individual with that being said I can't wait for the progress reports.

 

i better keep my eye on this, 'cause if i blink, you might already be done with it...

 

Hmmmmm...Work on it today,half a day on Saturday,then take Sunday off.Can you post a youtube of it going down the road by Monday afternoon?

 

I found some pics from one of Jim's HAMB BBQ's. I stand corrected, it's probably done by now...

 

quite ambitious. good luck. I'm sure you'll have it together in no time.

 

Looking at the pics of the coupe (before Jim starts), I think with the right cut polish, those little defects will polish right out.

Looking forward to progress pics.

 

Jim's next project...

 

Nice 55 Chevy there.
Do I win the prize? (read sign on top)

 

that 55 Chebby is sweeeeet!! Love the color...lol oh and Jim your Willys looks like a great project..suscribed PB

 

I cant wait to see what you do with this one. Your projects always start out sketchy and end up top shelf. I expect you'll impress us again!

 

I have faith. It's Jim Friggin' Sibley. 3 weeks, he'll be driving it.

 

What a beast! Can't wait to see it's rebirth.

I want that '55!
