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

She’s looking fantastic

 

Bodywork is looking great, this was always my favorite stage, putting the paint on always seamed like the beginning of the end of the project.

Many Thanks... It's been a Journey!

 

Still a lot left to do!!!

 

What a bitchin car! It shouldn't be underpowered.

 

I sure hope not!!

 

Home now, after Ed Stokes shop party in Canon City. Cage, Headers, and a few other details next.

 

What an EPIC build. Good times ahead!

 

I've only seen/heard one cammer on the street (in a tubbed 34 coupe many years ago) and the sound was cool (no blower on it, my understanding was the engine was stock). Although it had a "lumpy" sound to the exhaust, it also sounded smooth. That's the best way I can explain it which I fully understand, does not make sense

Super cool Willy's

 

That car is so kool can’t wait to see it ripping down the road

 

Coming from you. that's a Huge Compliment!! Thank you!

 

Headers Next, this side is Cake!

 

Exhaust and Cage are finished. Progress

 

@SOHC427, you are definitely doing the car justice and you aren’t talking any shortcuts. It has all of the right vintage parts.

 

Thank you

 

Looking great!

 

Hand Rolled Door Panels, and a Cage Shot.

 

Outstanding progress!

 

Not sure how I missed this but am caught up now. What a great Willys you are building! I saw you had it at Fast Eddies open house this year. I was there last year so sorry I didn’t make it back this year to see your car in person. I will be following along from now on.

 

[ Fun in the shop, today

 

Holy shit look at that thing! Not
Sure how I missed this one!

 

A little closer to the final look.

 

The Headers for the Coupe, are in their final color. They will cure for a few days. Car is really coming together nicely. Going to wire her up, next.

 

This Coupe is going to be better than it has ever been. You have all of the right parts and you definitely aren’t taking any short cuts.

 

I'm not going to start getting lazy now!!! Thanks for following the build, and your encouragement!!

 

Let’s see now, frame, check, roll cage, check, blown big block, check, posi rear end, check, wheels, check, tires, double check, seat, check, full body harness, triple check, crash helmet ( DUH!) , check. Looks like that’s all of it except for color, in which case just paint it black. Hehe.

 

Gota go Ford Ruby Red, with a Heavy Gold Flake! 60's style build!

 

I was able to put a few hours into my Coupe today. Header Studs in, although the steering shaft will be an issue, Drive Shaft is in, and perfect, and Hood Latches, are in place
That factory latch sucks!!!

 

Dash has been semi repaired, and now off to a Colorado shop, Paul's Vintage Wiring, for a complete harness, and needed add ons. It's getting real fun now!

 

Looks like you made some kind of magneto drive change?
