    Got a lot done the past 2 weeks. It went from a driving stocker to this. Last week I gutted it, then last weekend I set up the new front suspension, this week, I cut out the X member and boxed the frame, and added a couple new body mounts. Tonight I got the firewall cut out and the engine tacked up in it's approximate position. headers, radiator, steering should not be a big problem, but man trying to get 3 pedals crammed in there is going to be a chore!Lots of fire wall and floor fabbing to do as the engine and ****** are set back pretty far, I'll be sitting approximately between where the stock front and rear seats were. rearend is at Mosers getting narrowed and I plan to get the rear hung after GoodGuys DesMoines. Ladder bars and coil overs. Then the real fun begins trying to get all the little stuff working. i guess a project like this seperates the men from the boys, I just hope I'm man enough. Later, Rusty

    Not much chance for the 37 this year, but I'm sure next year shouldn't be a problem. I kinda got burnt out on the A delivery project and ended out doing some trading with it for this Willys. Which a 37/38 Willys sedan is what I have wanted for years. UUgly little bugers! I'll most likely have my O'l faithfull A RPU at the drags this year. I probably won't race as it is just a little V6. I may take my 41 Willys and run it, but it's kind of street roddy. See you guys at the drags!!! Rusty.

    Rusty, Finally got regestered and introduced. The car looks great and will make a nice addition to your collection but I still have a special place in my heart for the RPU.
