Hot Rods Another Money Pit, but... Oh Well.

I found the Brown and Bokovich, 39 Willys Coupe, here in Lakewood, CO. Had to have it, so here is the Start, of the Money Pit... Blown and Injected SOHC, Top loader 4 Speed, with a V Gate, Thunder Roads Gasser Chassis, Halibrands, you know the Drill...

 

It's only money. I mean, how often do 39 Willys coupes come up for sale with history!?

 

Get er done! Congrats

 

That works!

 

Yep, why not..... Just a Body, and a Title... I'm in Business, now..

 

Oh now, this is going to be WAY Cool …. show us more!

 

Need to figure out how to make my phone, and Pics talk to this page... Old guy, Limited Tech Skills!!!

 

hey, on the auto TV shows they would build that in an hour - but, if the depth of your wallet does not match the depth of this project resell it - or find a partner in crime - or sponsors to invest time & $$

 

One Step at a Time, Have the Chassis, Motor, Trans, and Wheels. Getting the Rear axle stuff, ordered up, Friday.... No Partners, and my Wife hates it, already..... How many Cammers, do you need???? Blah, Blah, Blah.... Hhahah

 

Good for you. Just think how happy you will be as you build your dream car.

 

Major League!

 

Nice project! Did the car run that setup back in the day? Bob

 

My response would be "what does need have to do with it".

 

you had me at new sohc's.........

 

Nice man, if you haven't done a search of "sohc willys" here on the HAMB amazingly there have been a few mentioned. Here's just one link

Aww jealousy raises it's head again . Way cool. I guess I can live vicariously through you and save money to boot. Congrats

 

A blown 392 Hemi in a Willys coupe is like a sbc in a model A.........

Haha, not quite, but damn, that big ol Ford engine is refreshing.

I feel the need to go hit the watch button.

 

That’s wicked! Love the look of that motor! Just no beating a vintage mill

Great start, this should be Good! I bought my school clothes flipping burgers one summer, you Must be better at it than I was. (Checked your profile page).

 

Dang love the Willy’s but the SOHC motor is incredible and a work of Ford Art

 

Can you say SSWHING!!

I thought you'd like this!

 

One can NEVER have too many Cammers.

Be along for the build for sure.

 

Yep. Put a paint job on the pallet jack until the Willys is ready. And throw some zoomies on it.

 

If any pit is worthy of throwing money into it, this one fits the bill.
Neat project, enjoy.

 

Bob, it ran a bunch of different power, but last was a Warm 390, according to Mr Brown, in Pueblo Co.

 

I agree. 4 Iron OE, and 1 Aftermarket Aluminum, is never Enough!!!
