That driver's side rear quarter looks like a horror show! Good luck Mr Sib.

 

I worked on it friday night, took saturday off, worked all day sunday, and monday. Its tuesday and I will have pics tonight. Its lookin a lot better allready.

 

Fantastic. I for one am looking forward to watchin you work your magic on this one.

 

Trying to figure how much Glue one would have to inhale to molest a car like that, I'm hoping it started life as a sedan?

 

No, Its been a coupe its whole long grusome life. Most of which was spent on dirt ovals racing around in circles. anyway here are my pics. Like I said, Im real happy with what I got done in 4 days time. I got more pics on my site. www.sibshotrods.com

 

Yeah I'd be happy to have progress like that with anything I do... I don't even ruin things that fast

 

What the...? You don´t hang about do you!!

Can´t get to the pics on your site by the way.

 

Sorry. I will fix that right now.

 

I wish I had 1/100th of your talent.

 

Thank you.

 

Who the hell dirt tracks a Willys ?

BTW awesome work wish I had 1/1000th your skills !

 

I always wondered - where do you start when the car is totally in bits like this? You don´t seem to have any datum point any more. How do you ensure the body doesn´t come out parallelagram shaped, or something?

 

I can't wait to see this baby at The Auto Boat Speed Show this year!!

 

awesome work!!!

 

My dad's built models of northeastern modified coupes and sedans for years, and only has done one Willys, from a car he remembered seeing somewhere. I kind of think that when the cars were more common, modifieds were mostly stock frames and the Willys chassis was just too light for that kind of abuse, and by the time guys were building race-specific chassis for cars and putting coupe tin on them, Willys were fairly scarce.

 

Ah Hell, Jim Sibley could... Wait, you ARE Jim Sibley !

 

Shoot, they should call you "the flash".

 

amazing work jim, in only 4 days you have the car back in shape hahaha, did you sleep at all in those 4 days??

 

Your happy with "THAT" in 4 days time !!!!!

The old Jim Sibley would have already been driving it by now,..... Are ya' feeling alright there bud ?,... Are the bionics giving you trouble?,... I'll bet it's taking ya' two bounds to clear those tall buildings now,.. huh ?

Well just stick with it,.. it's what, February?,.... just take your time and enjoy a slow build for a change,... no need to impress us anymore,.. if it takes you until April to finish it,.. we all understand.

When I grow up,.. I'm gonn'a be a Jim Sibley !

 

really beating that pile into shape,looking real good

 

Nice! Well, at least it doesn't look like it had been on fire too. ha ha
