Projects Gene (Moonlighter) Cromer's A/G Willys Resurrection

Headliner is in. The back will be stretched and fastened once the body is back on since the rear bar will press against the headliner.

 

Fred Hurst was a pretty famous drag racer. Did you ever have the pleasure to run him Gene?

 

The headliner looks awesome fellas !

 

This is my friend Greg Shreffler, He put the finishing touch polishing the mag wheels and buying a new pair of
front tires installed and balanced. What a good friend, I am truly Blessed.
Also thanks to Kevin Perry (Kiwi Kev)
for giving and sending me the Original American caps for the wheels.

 

I have a (very poor quality it's old) video of Gene racing Fred Hurst at a match race in N.C.

 

I think I posted this in the first few pages of this thread but here it is again in case I didn't it's to small to read but it's a hand out promoting Cromer racing Fred Hurst

 

Gene, the chassis alone is looking good with the wheels and tires on. I really like that blue. It's good to see that you have been blessed with some mighty fine friends.

 

Quain, I think we need to appoint you the official "Moonlighter Historian".

 

Quain could definitely be the Moonlighter historian...among a lot of other things Moonlighter related.

Gene has a scrap book that is UNBELIEVABLE! Tons of photos, race flyers, E.T. slips, etc. I am amazed every time I look through it.

 

Greg,is a great guy and I had to bite my tounge to keep quiet about the new tires when I was at your shop last week,,his generosity is greatly appreciated. HRP

 

Wow, I just went through this entire thread! It took me 1.5 hours. It was worth every minute. Glad to see you guys down in The Carolinas' know how to keep it together. I will be keeping tabs here from Canada Gene!

Don't forget the South Carolina bunch! HRP

 

Made it down here to Anderson SC to visit the folks all week. I would like to stop in and see the progress any chance that's possible?

 

Come by anytime.
Gene

 

The body is on and she's back home!

Ah, you guys are coming up to my neck of the woods. Maybe Quian can do a quick makeover and get my Willys done while he's up here. Nice job on the Moonlighter. I'm sure Gene can hardly hold back the excitement.

 

Man, she sure looks Bad Ass ! That's some really nice work everyone has done.
