I'm back, it's been a while.
Had a rough year, the wife and I got Covid, our little dog Isky passed away [kidney failure] and I had a heart attack so...here's to a better year!

Willys related: my friend Ken Baker had just gotten his blue steel coupe back from having 3" Hilborn stack fuel injection installed on his 496BBC, Dave Rivera just purchased a red steel 40 from Jr. Patrick, Robert Fraga drove his yellow steel coupe and we all met up at our Friday Night Gathering in Concord, Ca. Pictures to follow,
Mick Coyne

 

Glad to see you back Mick.

 

Dang, that was a rough year for you. Glad to hear and your wife are doing better.

 

Thanks Mike, been a while.
So, still looking for a blower? I'll look around if so...

 

Thanks much, going to be a better year for sure!

 

Above is the four steel Willys coupes at one place [mentioned earlier],

Here's a couple of shots of my buddy Ken's Fuel Injection, in fact he's turning 77 today.
Happy Birthday buddy!
Hilborn Injection w/3" stacks on his 496 BBC, steel coupe, runs great!

Little jobs [not worth mentioning but ya know I have to].
The wife had some engine turned aluminum sheeting left over from her garage sink project so...
I had a piece of metal w/holes above the radiator that started to look bad;
using my caveman tools I cut and bent a piece and installed it, looks better.

 

Please excuse the double postings [photos], just getting used to this again,
Mick

 

Here's the eyesore I removed [replaced],

Recent drone shot, car gathering right down the street,

My friend Brian usually powder coats his parts black in his [garage] oven.
Yesterday he tried "chrome powder coating" and it came out pretty good.
"If it don't go, chrome it," I know but the parts do look clean and it was inexpensive.

Burger run yesterday...
10 of us [7 vehicles], met at our house then cruised up to the city of Clayton to an Italian Deli.
Felt good getting the cars out for a run,
Mick

 

Watching "Roadkill" on TV last night, they were visiting the Speedway Motors Museum in Lincoln Nebraska. Showing a cut-away of a blown injected 392 Hemi and I spotted Dave Hales Willys coupe in the background, attached,
Mick

 

Nice spot Mick.

 

Hi Paul, yeah, Dave sure has some great history with that car!

 

Revell did up a model kit of that ^^^^^ Willys....

 

I didn't know that, thanks Deuces!

 

I found a great deal on a Hilborn Fuel Injection intake manifold.
Just want to use it for garage art.
I got some 2" aluminum tubing and cut 'em up for stacks, then added some red balls.
Just for kicks,
Mick

 

Kool, you gonna flare them Mick? That would be a time extensive project!
