You can fab a lot of stuff, first off do yo have the stock 4 lug hubs or the later 5 lug hubs. I adapted 65-66 Mustang 2 piece rotors and pressed the rotor on the Willys 5 lug hub, then used Mustang 4 piston calipers and made a bracket. A lot of work and experiment. Wilwood will make up hubs and kit for you that bolts on. At this stage of my life I would go with the later. If you want to do it on the cheap, thats exactly what you will have.

hi there i have the 4 stud hub thats in one piece and the drum with a big clamp around it they have been converted to juice a long time ago.

 

Love the photo of John Lopiano's 33 Willy's.

John lived a few houses from me and I use to go over to his parents home when he was building the car back in the late 60's or early 70's
John was a very knowledgeable guy and really knew what he was doing.

This shot of Cam Cogsdill is at Milan Dragway, after they lowered the tree from being suspended like a traffic lite to the conventional location. I used to run in the same eliminator at the same venue, probably circa 1979-80.

 

I'm glade they didn't come with a rear door regulator, that would be one more thing I cant find for my rear door

 

Hawaii back in the day..

 

Anyone recognize this one? Something familiar about the front wheels. Gary Reynolds posted it on Drag Cars in Motion thread. Pic caption said Hell for Motors Willys. (Perfect followup for Satan - above)
Would love more info/pics on these 3 cars.

 

It looks a lot like the Bob Fox car to me.

 

Thanks Jason. There can't be two cars with those coilovers on them. Thought the wheels looked familiar.
Burien, what, on the door?

 

One I had not seen from TommyD on drag cars in motion thread.

Awesome pic of Tom Wilford there. He was quite a guy.

 

Another one bites the dust, as we lost confirmed Willys nut Bob Urban this past Thursday to pancreatic cancer. Best remembered for his involvement with The Dog Catcher 33 delivery he chose dogcatcher33 as his HAMB handle and used it's pic as his avatar. RIP Bob Urban thread opened for condolences, tributes, pics, and memories.
