    So Lee talked you into building a Coupe eh ? I bet that was tough !!!! You guna start a thread on the 77 anytime soon ? Here's the 36 I've started and I'll have to post a pic of my Coupe pile too . Can't say I'll do as well as you have cuz you've definitely raised the bar for the rest of us !

    I did get all the panels tack welded so the car actually has a shape now. It's at the phase now to go around the entire car and tig all of the panels completely. It'll be slow moving but I think the hardest part is done.

    not much work on the willys lately but did mount my 40 front end. Not bad as it only needs the bottom 3" of replacement metal.

    I dug this up today, my wife is so pleased!

    It does have an NHRA certified rollcage that I can use and maybe a few other parts.

    One mans trash is another mans treasure.

    LETS HEAR IT FOR THE WILLYS COUPE!!!
