well, I am biting off a big chunk.

If you'll please excuse me, I need to purchase some lottery tickets on the off chance I can win enough money to buy this when it's done.

 

PFFffffbbbbtttt....... of COURSE it's looking better Jim! You've put 2.5 days in on it! What color did you paint it?
I'M JUST KIDDING! I read all the way to the end. GREAT progress. As Muttley said 1/100th of your skill.......1/100th.

 

Wow Jim you made me feel better about my 33 chevy its a cream puff compared to that willys

 

4 Days?? That would be 4 months of work for most of us. You sir, are a ruler!!

 

And they called it 'Frankenwillys'....

 

This was Lil' Jimmy Sibley's Quilt when he was but a mere child,...
He has drawn a lot of inspiration form it,....

 

I think you nailed it! "Frankenwillys"! Love it!

 

Looks like it had brain surgery

 

Your talent is endless. And you picked a good car to bring back to life.

 

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't even begin to believe that's the same Car! WTF! AMAZING work pardner!

 

Plans for the upholstery?

 

I am in awe, too bad you're not a scientist, Jim, you'd have cancer, the common cold and erectile disfunction all wrapped up in no time!

Wow,That kind of progress would take me years.

 

I contacted a few guys on the hamb, and had them make a few measurements.
width Across the doors,
distance from front of rear fender to front of door
distance from trunk floor to trunk hinges.
wheel base
overall height.
The rest is all done with geometry, cross masurements ect....
Really half of the work is done getting the first piece to fit , then you have something to measure from.

 

Looks great Jim, I don't suppose you'd like to do some work on a '53 Chevy wagon in exchange for some barbecue? I can't wait to see it finished.

 

Wow, thats an amazing transformation. Looking forward to see this build

 

Jim obviously doesnt believe in the phrase "you cant polish a turd".

 

Always amazing!

 

"Really half the work is done getting the first piece to fit" Sibley quote......

If THAT car was in my garage,I'd have stared at it for 6 months before I had the balls to touch it.Sibley,you're an inspiration..
I'm now inspired to sell all my shit,and spend the rest of my life watching ESPN.
Can I come sweep your floors,fetch your beer,take out the garbage,and just watch you work? I promise I'll stay out of your way,and won't say a word.I won't even eat any of your food.

 

Nothing a little TLC and Lov'n cant fix....... and it looks like ya got it well under control!!

 

4 Days?
4..Days!!!!

fuck, am i not worthy

so, are ya done yet?

 

Yeah, but you left an "e" out of measurements. hahahaha! Cool car Jim!

 

I will get back to it tomorrow. Tonight I am putting a quarter panel on a mustang, and I taught shop class all day, so more pics by saturday.

 

Very nicely done, looks awesome already. Is there anything you cant do? I cant beleive you got that much done in 4 days

 

Jim, Every build by you is just amazing. Most of us what look at what you started with and only see scrap metal . . Jim sees a Willy Coupe (Bad To The Bone) pullin' the wheels in first and second ! Keep the updates a comin' ! Looking forward to Sat update.

Dave

 

I'm waiting for Jim to attack that 55 Chevy block-o-metal w/ nothing but a ball peen hammer & a spoon.

 

Wow impressive.

 

I see a potential problem..You said you asked HAMBers to take measurements for you........You didn't by any chance talk to that guy who welded his crossmember on 4" away from where he was supposed to,did you?

 

Damn, you beat me to it. lol If ever a car earned that title. I'm looking forward to this build.

 

Shit!!! Incredible!!!!
