    since it is one big unit i can see chassis as a correct phrase. the body is just a skin down over it all...

    Congrats! Gotta admit it...FIRST time I've ever seen that version of Willys!!!
    I was expecting the normal Gasser Willys from the 30's and 40's...but that later version rocks.
    Great body style, kinda...Alfa like somehow.
    Awesome car...love one for running on the street.

    Nice car. I have a factory re-serialed 53, same body style, but sold as 54. I love these cars. Nice to see someone saved another one.

    Impressive for a home built car (no disrespect).

    Any reason you went with square tube main rails?

    Car looks great.
