Projects 1940 Willys Coupe Gasser Build

Big step, on the ground rolling! The light at end of tunnel grew a lil brighter haha, its still only a flicker haha

 

Jaw dropping cool!

 

thank you!

 

big john would have def hired you!!

 

thanks! its my ch***is guy pulling off this deal, Im just telling him what I want haha. Ill be doing the finish body work and ***embling, but very little of the fab

 

How many times have I said Wow on this project? There, I said it again. Wow.

 

The light at end of tunnel grew a lil brighter haha, its still only a flicker haha

In my case the light at the end of the tunnel always turns out to be an oncoming train. Can't wait to see it running and driving!

 

Can you see over the dash? seats seem awful low unless your 6' 10" lol

 

Thanks much!

 

6ft here and yes, easily, we built the ch***is to fit me perfectly, packaging in these is not easy for sure, but with helmet on i clear upper cage

 

Few more progress pics, gonna finish hole in hood then on to trunk floor and rear quarters

 

Pick up that air hose its cluttering up the joint!

 

Hood opening done

 

EPIC !

 

Looks nice. But I wouldn't cover up That blown Hemi?

 

Not easy choice but the coupes look like something is missing without the iconic hood shape

 

Alright i guess i would still drive it with the hood on.

 

Lol

 

I ***ume the ***ess panels are so you can easily pull the engine, correct?

 

I hadn't considered them for engine removal but thats a possibility, I did them to be able to pull valve covers for valve adjusts

 

Bad to the bone!!!!

 

Thanks Stewart!

 

I sure like your work, the car is looking great!
I saw it in St. Louis at the Gateway G***er Gathering in 1999, a group of us Northern Californians
flew out there and got to experience our first tornado.
Here's a shot of the car,
Mick

 

Hey Thanks Mick! Gonna be fun!

 

You're really going to enjoy the build, I've had mine for 30 years so far.
You get to meet the nicest people who have the same interests.

 

Thats bad***!

 

Thanks, it was pretty rough when I first got it but forget my car,
I'm looking forward to your progress shots!
Such a cool build!

 

This build keeps getting better!

 

Had mine since 1964, finished since 1995. Fun to go to rod runs and have a car that isn’t a belly****on Ford!!

 

Lovin that car! Its great inspiration to finish mine. I enjoy your posts so keepem rollin.
