Hot Rods The Ultimate Willys Gasser Thread

The days before "Mr. Gasket".

 

The "Mystery Willys" ?

 

Even the horse is looking it over to see if it is worth saving.

 

A rough "Ute".

 

After I bought my '36 from you I visited Chuck at his Elyria shop for pointers on chassis design. Few may know it but his latest '33 had a ground effects tunnel under the car, exiting under the rear window.

I commented on the nice brass hood ornaments he had cast. As I was leaving he tossed one my way - gratis - kinda like the Steelers Mean Joe Greene jersey TV commercial. My hero.

 

I did use Chuck's basic design on a couple of builds - double-Vee'd with a torque box at the firewall.
Spoiler alert: These are Anglia builds.

 

Early on in this cars life, Jack bought this car as a stocker with in a mile from his shop. They just compounded the s&*t out of the body lettered built the 377" SBC it and ran it. This was around 1963.
