Whats up with the holey front wheels

 

LB some people take weight reduction to a whole new level. Eddie Sanzo would drill out the 1/4-20 bolts he used as door hinge pins in his Willys. That's a true story.

I wonder what he is using for springs, I can make out cross steering but thats it.

It appears to have tall spacer blocks between the perches and the springs

I believe the "blown" #133 car was sold to a guy named Jim from the Hudson Valley area of NY. He had it up at Lebanon Valley for the Dover Nostalgia drags the past 2 years.

Update; Jim O'hanlon from Wappingers Falls NY is who bought it from Fred.

 

Thanks for the update, Pat. I snapped those pix at the Rodder's Journal show six years ago. Man, where does the time go?

 

Wow, I didn't know Fred sold it.

 

This is my Favorite rendition of what I believe to be the first go- round of Elverne Pfiefers Willys,when it was Caddy powered. Anyone care to guess the tire sizes?
