Projects Quain Stott Willys build

I've been slack on finishing this build thread so here's a few pic of the hammering out of the master cylinder cover.

 

A little more hammering

 

More hammering then a little dolly work for the lip and then a few passes on the english wheel.

 

not quite finished I ran out of time needs more detail work but that's the easy part I'll do that one day when I'm just fiddling around.

 

Another angle I did this because I used an aluminum master cylinder and that just won't get it on a period correct Gasser so I tried to hide it.

 

Holy crap

 

great Willys build. just found it. Keep up the good work.

 

My thoughts exactly! Wow

 

Noland check out the other one I am working on it's my favorite. Here's the link http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=730747&highlight=quain+stott

 

Cool piece, Quain. What did you have in mind for under the hood?

We're doing a "frozen snot" 36 Ford up pretty much the same way here at the school, so I'm keeping an eye on this one...

 

Great build thread, thank you for sharing, I learned a lot, and some times it is just the seamingly simple things that prove to be the most enlightening.
Can you give some details on the small block, cubic inches, compression ratio, and I am curious what fuel are you running?
That thing sounds great in the videos!!!!! Small block and 4 speed, can't beat it.
Thanks

 

The car has been finished for about a year some of my buddy's talked me into doing the build thread after it was finished. Anyway it has a 406 sbc with old school mechanical fuel injection there's a lot of videos on you tube of it some in car stuff that's cool.

 

It's a 406 sbc with 15 to 1 compression the pic in my avatar is of the engine compartment. I run C 14 racing fuel it runs and sounds better on alcohol but our rules won't allow that.

 

Great to see new updates Quain !

 

Quain,you never cease to amaze me. HRP

 

I got so pumped up with Cromers car build I haven't took time to post on mine.

 

Here you go it's real simple just a 1/8' 4130 C/M plate bracket (3/16' if you use mild steel) with a bolt and bushing on the top and bottom of spring leave a little room between the 2 bushings and about 1/16' on the brackets for the spring to slide. if you are not going to use a pan hard bar you might want to brace the brackets from side to side. Note I drilled extra holes for ride height adjustment

 

Ha ha, I just went through this whole thread to see what you were running and here it is on the last page...lol The wheels up launch and half way down the track before settling down video from the Moonlighter thread had me wondering.

 

Swade41 maybe now that I'm finished with cromers car and some of my other projects I can finish this build thread.

i have a glass willys body for one of my next builds... looking forward fot the rest of the build thread!

 

What style trans is in the car? Is it a Hightower
Style or Jericho style. Thanks

 

It's just a stock big gear Jerico 2.98 low with 4'88 in the rear.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm a cheapo how do the gm
4 speeds do. Or do they break? Sorry for the questionnaire.
Thanks

 

They will brake if you have much power

 

You won't be doing this with a stock GM 4 speed transmission.

Quain is in the far lane. HRP
