My willys truck gasser build thread

I can't thank Eric enough. He does absolutely top notch work and I'm lucky to call him a friend.

 

LOVE IT!!! The Silver Dollar is one of my favorites too.

Yup that works for me, I'm just in the process of collecting parts for a truck myself, Im in the middle of making the moulds as its a glass one.

 

I like how you rebuilt the x member looks very sanitary. Love the driveshaft.

Thanks! Love your car by the way. I just went through and read through your journey with the car. Very cool. I'd like to own one myself one day..

 

Hey thanks, it's a love-hate relationship. Any new progress on the pick-up?

Eric did a nice rendering! And the coupe looked great with the new skirts on at Roundup today!

 

Great firewall..... Kool paint treatment on the drive shaft !

 

Wow, the rendering Screams COOL Shooter!

Thanks Rocky!

 

Can't seem to post pics right now for some reason but I'm making some good progress. I have the front and rear axles set and welded in place, the motor is back out and I'm working on the steering box and column. Plan to have that done tonight and hopefully start running some brake plumbing.

Now that the motor is back out, I will paint it and assemble it for the last time before going back in for good. Also have some work to do on the headers.

Pics to follow.

 

How's the progress Shooter'? Looking forward to Billetproof and seeing the PU!

 

'merica

 

Got the motor and trans in for the last time.

 

Stock brake pedal is now a custom T handle shifter

 

We fired it up yesterday. It runs awesome. I have video of it but it will not upload for some reason.

You can see that video and the rest of my car related bullshittery on my Instagram, my name on there is Jakeisestrangedasballs

 

Cool! I don't know what an instagram is, but I'd sure love to hear the Willys fire up!

You're always welcome to come by.

I'm working Saturday, but Robbie is going to drive it to breakfast over at R&R. You should check it out then if not before.

 

Great! What's R&R? I'll give Robbie a call and see if I can drop by some time after he's off work to see it, or maybe Sat.

 

That's a hell of an idea, I'm gonna steal it for one of my builds some day. Love it!

Nice Shooter!

 

Well, somewhere between where we left off and now, we made it.

 

Congrats, great job!

 

It's been a long road. But it made it.

 

Congratulations! It was cool to see it running down the strip! A nice reward for all the hard work!

 

It's a Hit shooter'!

 

Nicely done man! Looks great. Thanks for documenting your build. Really gives some of us an idea what goes into a Willys build.
