Is this a RAT ROD steering wheel???

........................

 

Cool!! Love the idea of the Willys too.

 

Now it just needs to ride an inch off the ground with the crooked liscense plate and the bad airbrushed skulls all over...

 

you guys must have some killer weed in tennesse!

 

No, it isn't, you have to weld a spike on it to impale your head on like a martini olive.

 

maybe this will give you some inspiration...

Why build a '48 Willys? Why not. When I got into this stuff in the early '60s there was a local guy running a Willys station wagon gasser at the drags, not sure what year but the same body style as your truck. Had a big Olds V8 with a hydro, ran like hell and won its share. Wasn't what everybody expected when they heard Willys but got a lot of crowd approval. Guess that makes it kind of traditional too, huh?

 

I've thought about building one, but would have to take the dome out of the roof to make it look right . It'll be cool, go for it.
The free spiritedness ( is that a word?), of hairy legged girls has always been appealing to me. I don't know about the hairy armpits though.

 

yea, why not indeed Tingler... Will-EE'z ( ) pickups rule... course i AM biased

BTW, i think El Caballo is right, the wheel needs a large "army of the reich" helmet spike for a horn button, and a skull mounted on the column drop to house a tac to really have that Rat feel

 

thats to keep warm with on all the cold minn-sew-duh nights we got comming soon Joel

 

LOL, don't tell my wife. TINGLER, I think the wheel will work.

 

yea!! and gold wheels,flake, and pompoms on the dash. OHRRA LE WATO!! WAZ HAPPENIN

 

I think it's cool. Just don't get drunk one night, chrome it and put it on your lowrider bike.

 

EEWWW! Have you SMELLED a true Hippie Chick lately? Bleech!!

Free spirit is great but I'll take mine with hygiene, thanks.

 

If I had one I'd build it like this.....

 

Great job Tinky! Makes me proud to be an 'adopted
' Teennesseean' When you get it done,I want to race you. Afterwards we can talk of hairy armed geeky girls in glassesmmmmmmmm Sparkiee

 

there is something wrong with y'all.But the wheel looks cool.don't chrome it. Zinc dip it instead.

 

Hey Tingler,

I Tennes"see" your mullet.

Ya know Joel, I thought you and I had something............but this TEARS it! You foul bastards can keep your hairy, smelly hippies........I'll gladly take the Willy's! Course I've had a MAD love affair with International Scouts for years, so it figures.

I like the fine print on the flyer about showing up and taking responsibilty for your own well being

 

you can have your hairy hippies I like mine clean.

 

meanie!

 

Um, thats NOT a Willys, its a Crosley.

 

Hey Tinkertoy! I would love to make the greasy bash. However with my staples not even out yet,therapy,meds,etc. After the knee replacement I don't think I'm going anywhere. I am trying to be well enough for the Halloween bash in ALA. Oct 31. And yeah,man we'll race alright You guys have fun. later... Sparkomatic

 

The truck is looking nice Tingler


I had a 48 willys for a while I sold my pinto (351w) and bought it off my dad who traded a stock nice 48 chev sedan for it.......anyway, it's in Tenn. now and has changed hands at least a couple times...

it may look different. here's a picture

Oh yeah, I love hippy chicks too
