Projects 1940 willys coupe, keeping it

thanks kev, that means a lot from you. ive followed your build and got a lot of great tips from you. im finishing this glass car up then im going to finish my '38 coupe. heres a couple pictures of it. its all steel.

 

As the owner of one of each....glass and steel......you're gonna enjoy the 'glass car. I beat the hell out of my steel car for 10+ years @ Indy, Bowling Green, and countless other tracks. ALWAYS in the back of my mind was how I would feel if the thing ended up on the roof like an upside down turtle, whaere would I go for parts, and what was it gonna cost. So, 'glass was the way to go for me. Yours has "the look" (BIG thanks and kudos to you for NOT using those phony ass spoke things because they are called "gasser wheels").
Run the hell out of it, and enjoy it................

 

Nice builds. the glass car is even cool, If I ever come across one cheap(glass willys), that what I'm going to do

 

Both cars look GREAT! Two Willys coupes......don't get much better than that.

 

That thing is 1 of the best looking gassers I've seen. You should be real proud of that one. If I built one to race, it'd be glass, as was said, I'd hate to see a steel 1 all mashed up. Again, great build.

 

there is nothing wrong with a glass car. hell, in the old days probably 90% of the car was glass anyway. the only thing steel was the drivers shell. i got 2 glass willys. a '33 coupe and a truck. if i every get to them one will be a 455 olds and the other will be a 455 pontiac. one of my best friends is Fiberglass Dave and he said i could pull a '40 coupe or anything else i want from his molds anytime i want. a great guy. a little contankerous sometimes though.

 

I love it. Nice work man! Hopefully I'll see it around some day.

 

thanks for all the compliments from everyone, it means a lot, happy new year !!!!

 

hi I have steel body one too.but if I had glass one.i would do it like yours is done.both cars look great.

 

Everyone likes different things but I think the front wheels are PERFECT !

 

SWEET - glass or not. You left the "S" off A/GS or AA/GS - nice paint job; love it...

 

amishmike, if you look at the first pics he showed in the first post, the engine is carbed not blown.

 

here it is at Detroit autorama this weekend. im home SICK with the flu, I worked all year for this show and im not there with my car, oh well

 

Looks great !

 

Good that the car made it. Would have really sucked if you both stuck at home. The Willy s could look no better as far as I'm concerned. Picture perfect ! Hope you feel better soon.

 

thanks. I moved the car in the show on Wednesday and got sick over night !
