Hot Rods PORKSHOP'S WILLYS PU.. build thread.. (x sedan)

My part is all done, John will pick it up this weekend and it will be fun to see what he does with it. It is a solid roller but plenty of frame work and body work yet to do.

 

Cant wait....See you saturday.............

 

Bitchin.

 

CONGRATS
THIS WILL BE AWESOME

 

Turned out awesome

 

Certainly hope we will continue to see this build evolve. Looks like a lot of fun

Yes you will just not sure how fast the updates will be......John

 

FAST please

 

Loaded up ready to head south in the morning..... Providing this storm breaks like it's supposed to....

 

Looks killer as always kev

 

Truck is extremely cool, glad you could save it.

I really like the rear fenders, we're they specifically built for a willys?

 

yes they are fiberglass reproduction....

 

Off to Fresno she goes. I got this 37 sedan from John in the deal. Since I will be putting the Nasty Habit coupe up for sale soon I feel like I could replace it one day by converting the sedan to a coupe. Yeah, right! #87 on my list of projects.
I am looking forward to following John's progress on the PU. I have a good feeling about the trucks future.

 

Why sell a coupe to build a coupe ?

 

House needs fixin, bills need payin etc.

 

Kev,
how about building a T. J. Richards style five window coupe. They used the sedan front doors so that part would be a little easier, not that it appears to matter to you mate!

Kev knows what I am talking about but for those who don't:


Roo

 

It's at its new home.... When this weather stops will make room in the shop....

 

Happy to hear that you made it home OK.

 

Looks so familiar especially with the same grill treatment, exciting times eh. Good luck with the rest of the build.

Thanks for all the kind words guys..... Im pretty stoked.....

 

Killer work kev. It's come along way since I saw it last June wish I moved as fast as you.

 

I may have a plan working.... updates soon.... that or I will have to move this to the sitting and rotting thread......updates soon...

 

Ok.... so here is the plan... I am going to thrash this year to get this ready for the 2019 HAMB drags....... I need to sell my 56 Ford gasser first so im thrashing on it. I will try and start a new thread for the build.... here is a picture of the 56...

 

56 Ford is up and running stand by for the build to start soon. Couple thing to buton up and then sell it......

 

The 56 Ford is for sale....... Hope it sells soon. need to get to work on the Willys....

 

'56 looks great! what drivetrain is in it?

 

Blown small block chevy, TH400.

 

I thought I would add this picture here. This is the sedan I got from John seen earlier in this thread. I had an empty spot in my garage, the sedan had been sitting outside for several years so I cut the back off, moved it inside and mocked it up like this. Maybe one day I will build it into a race truck but it will probably sit like this for a long time while I build my 34 coupe.

 

that is great work!-good post for the before and after section!
