Nasty Habit Willys coupe...Part 1. body graft.

Greg, I'll PM you.
Here's a pic of the car I built in the 80's and sold years ago..........

 

Awesome job Kevin. I had seen some of your work you did on the Anglia for E.D. in AZ. Second to none. Keep up the good work.

 

Nice thread and an even nicer start on that Monster. How could you not be motivated to build great things in a shop like that. My favorite part is the engine placement and wheel and tire combo!!!!

 

Nice work Kev!....say that crossram looks familiar......Looks way better in your garage though!

 

as said in the pm Kev,nice work who doesn't like a real willys. and thanks again for the picture of my guggy's willys gasser,Don

 

very Cool !

 

the "aluminum firewall" will probably be a work of art also! great stuff Kevin!

 

Looks great can't wait for more pics.

 

i'm in awe.... as usual... excellent work....

 

Waaaay Cool!!!

 

Thanks guys. So far all I have is a body that needs alot of work sitting on a chassis that needs alot of work. It's one of those " All I have left to do now is everything" deals.

 

Kev, Nice work!! You never cease to amaze me!

Hear from you soon Kev. Looking for a 22-25 Turtledeck roadster body if you know of anything.
Going to pick up those other items from Chris later this week thanks.

 

really cool, and a real deal willys to boot. I love it when a plan comes together.

 

Me too!!

 

Kevin,
Good for you Man ! You know what's real . Go for it !
Keep on Keepin' on, L B

 

Built at home...........A-1 work, mister. A cut above the rest, H.A.M.B. ruler.

 

Geez Kev, you did some climbing to take those shots..roof repairs a part of those house repairs you were talking about?
Nice work...as ususal!

 

Kevin, you truly are "my idol" !! Congratulations on finally getting started on your Willys. Kinda like Deja vue all over again, huh? VERY COOL...... you just can't help yourself, can you?

 

sweet garage!

 

Fantastic work.. Great shop

 

I hope you put a passenger seat in that thing....cause I want a RIDE!!!!!
Looks like it's gonna be another masterpiece Kevin. Can't wait til my next trip in your direction. Keep it up buddy....

 

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HIS GARAGE!!!!!

It's the King Tuts tomb of Hotrodding! You can literally get lost in all the posters,racing stuff,American Graffitti collection,parts,etc. If you have to go to the bathroom,you find yourself missing for an hour!!! No Redbook or Better Homes and Gardens in there,LOL!!! Just pure Hotrod Heaven!!!!!
If you ever go to the Primer Nats,in Ventura,you'll have come to his BBQ! You won't want to leave. He's a great host too...

ALL HAIL KING KIWI KEVIN!!!!!!

 

Great work - I would not have thought of that.........unless I lived next door to you!!!

Looks fantastic so far.

Nice to see a real Willys saved instead of another clone built. Cool car.

 

Awsome work, I missed this thread the first time around.

 

I have made some progress, will have an update soon.

 

Hi Kev,
newbie to the forum and just found part 8 of the build,thought i'd go back to the start!
Great work with the body swap,im looking forward to catching up on the rest of the build.

Bump!.....

 

Saw Kevin race the Willys several times at Barona and Irwindale. Did bumper draggin wheelies and even saw him bend the front axle one time. I believe he has since sold the car but he may chime in.
