History A moment of history...Teixeira Willys

And the Official seats and they look great.

 

Installed the toe strap for the gas pedal.

 

Man, it's really coming along and looking absolutely fantastic!
I know you have some nice cars, but this ones something else.

 

Thanks autobilly for the great comment.

 

All I can say is... Damn!!!!!

 

Absolutely wild!

 

Nice Skip! Looks like its coming together great! I will have to say that it is one of the nicest Willy's I've seen in a long time.

This is fantastic!!! It's like reading a novel. I can't wait for the next chapter. You're doing an unbelievable job telling the story and great pix too. Ed

 

I stopped by Royalshifters place this afternoon to see the paint job firsthand and I gotta say.....................it is incredible. All the people involved in this project for the rest of their lives can say they had a part in something special. Mark and Dave you should be proud of the work you are putting into that car, every bit of your effort shines through. I feel lucky to be able to say that I saw the car in person during the build and cant wait to see it finished.

 

You can't wait to see it finished? Hell, you couldn't wait 20 minutes for me to get back from a parts run! How's that new underwear treatin' ya, Mike?
Seriously, thanks for the window decals, you did your part to help get this project done and looking correct for the CHRR.

 

Bumper and caps are fabbed and off to the powder coaters.

 

One of the key elements that Dave found at Fred's ranch are these copper tubings that were on the original car and now will be back on after a long sleep.

 

I was sweating rubber nickels before I tried these tubes because I mounted the engine and degreed it by photographs....low and behold they mounted right up where they should be.

 

Hey Franco check out Dan he is actually working....ha ha ha.

 

wow skip cool pics , it great the way this is coming along , it looks like the lady is on the J.O.B. as well

 

Yeah Kenny she is having the time of her life.

 

C'mon Reunion!!

 

I can't wait to see the car at the CHHR. I remember seeing it run out at Raisin City.

 

Hey, I'm an important guy, I cant wait around for you clowns all day, I have chones to buy. I havent tried them on yet, I'll be sure and post a pic when I do. CHECK YOUR PM'S, I sent you info about the oil pan decal you asked about.

HAHAHA.............Dan's boiler is looking pretty stout these days.

 

Don't know if you have or have seen these yet, but here ya go.

 

I have not seen those and thank you.

 

Here is whats left of the corvette today. Look close and you'll see the rear "spoiler". A guy named Eric Reyes owns it and converted it to a Super Gas car 15-20 years ago.

 

Are they staying as is or are you chining them copper pipes up?

Thanks,
Kurt

 

I have already cleaned them.

 

I can't wait to see Dan's giant hands around your neck when he reads this!
Thanks for the decal info.

 

Thanks to my good friend Marty LeBar the rollbar is chrome....now he is Dave's second best friend.

 

I drilled and cut some 3/8 stock to make the screw mounts for the stacks......we are just tightening the loose ends until Tex comes back from Steven Kents race car shop, he is the header fabricator.

 

This is all fantastic, but that RAIL there... There's a beautiful '60s FRONT ENGINE DRAGSTER IN YOUR GARAGE. Has anyone noticed, or is it just me?

 

I noticed the dragster. Hopefully that is next on the completion list. Hey Skip, if you dont have time to finish the dragster sent it my way, I will be happy to finish it. Of course once it is finished there will probably be an extended period of "shakedown" runs required.
