Hi, everyone! Im Shawn, when Im not in the garage or on the computer(eBay) I am driving a stretched Lincoln. Starting a glass 41 Willys project, and completing my 64 2+2 Catalina and 58 Studebaker projects, hopefully this year. Being a limo driver I get back driveways and byways most dont and that leads me to abandoned and forgotten cars/trucks that sometimes can be bought, sometimes cant. Some I buy with the sole purpose of reselling. Either way I come acrossed a bunch of makes, so if anyone is ever looking for something specific, let me know! But be warned these are usually not fix the brakes throw on some rubber and go! But they are normally cheep! The willys will be a lesson so that I can do better the next time around, yep, doing this one to sell. It will probably be your average old school sbc, but done up as something you could drive everyday! The 64 Cat is a car that was raced in the 60s by the son of TAYLOR Pontiac Dallas Texas. Taking it back to look like a 60s super stocker complete with an early tri power, and lots of 60s speed equipment. The Silver Hawk is my fiancees car, I boughtit for her last year and we are resto-moding it. A 62 stude 289 and auto with a set of custom wheels sum it up. Looking forward to chatting with everyone!
Welcome to the H.A.M.B. Shawn!...you've happened across the best damn forum on the internet. Looking forward to seeing some pics of your rides...past & present. If ya ever stumble across any Model A stuff from the 20's-30's drop me a PM...I'll work with ya. How did you happen across our forum? WELCOME!
Actually stumbled acrosses the forum when I was doing a search for the Super Stude. Nosed around and liked what I saw! THX 138, I wish Id have known this about 6 months ago, went to an auction loaded with "A" parts!!!!, but was on a PONTIAC search at the time, and ended up with a few truck loads of Studebaker parts, LOL.
Welcome Shawn Love Those Pa Tunnels, Chasing Ebay Cars Out East. Love The Pike, And The Friendly Toll People. No Tickey Full Price ! The Only Good Thing About It. I Got Off In Harrisburg To Meet A Guy, And Back On Going To Jersey. It Was A Couple Of Bucks More Than It Would Of Been.
Welcome to the world of building a Willys. I finished mine towards end of last year. The one thing I found was that some of the things I wanted or how I wanted them changed along the way. So what ever you do think how will it effect something else. At one point I had 2 engines, Cad. Northstar and 468 BB 8:71 Blower injected. Well the 468 BB won out, the cost of putting a blower on the Northstar was just to much as to many parts had to be hand made. Keep us informed as to how you are making out on the Willys project. Good Luck!
