History 1933 - 1936 Willys, picture thread

These picture are from Al Swedbergs shop in Centralia, Washington. I wish I was the one that did that work.

 

any pics of ; catch me if you can ?

 

Here is why I have not worked on the Willys lately over the past 3 or 4 years.
I build my daughter (and yes I did everything myself on this car) a 66 Mustang I call GT140T which stands for 66 Mustang / SVO 2.3 turbo. It has 300 rwhp and gets close to 30 mpg. If you start from this page and work your way forward you can see the whole build come together. http://s259.photobucket.com/albums/hh296/angliagasser/#!cpZZ61QQtppZZ16

 

Nice job with Kent Keller's old 33 Willys. I remember seeing pictures of it on Ebay years ago and thought what in the world was he thinking. I remember the windshield was left at the original height, and laid back so far (that in theory) it would line up with the rest of the roof. Very strange looking. It was so bad, I didn't see how anyone would be able to fix it, but you and your metal smith buddy did a super job. That roof insert is slick and the rear fenders turned out sweet as well. I hope you'll continue to post updates as it progresses. Your Mustang is pretty sweet too. Cool idea with the SVO turbo 4.

 

Thanks angliagasser for the pictures, Al did a very nice job. I had seen an article on his work in Streetrodder many years ago when I used to buy that mag.
Some day I'll get myself one of the early coupes!

 

Here ya go....

 

Here's some more...

 

How bout' some more oldies...

 

Nuther' set...






The Traveler was purchased by Roger Garten and later run under the Garten and Braskett name.

 

the bottom pic of this car is badass !

 

How about the legend... Ohio George Montgomery

 

Some newer pics of some oldies...






This pic from Beaver Springs (by Bob Wenzelberger) of Rocky Pirrone's tribute cars is truly classic.

 

The original plan was to run a 4.6 DOHC Ford with twin turbo just outside the side panels in between the headlights and in front of the doors. Then just dump up exhaust down and out. But now I am leaning more towards a 4.6 or 5.4 DOHC Ford with this intake just sticking out of the hood.

 

How about this one of Ohio George.

 

That'd make a pretty cool combination of old & new. Can't deny the wow factor of velocity stacks sticking through the hood!

 

It always cool to see pictures of your car on a thread. Ive owned mine for 32 years now. It was raced by Charlie Garrett out of Hanover Pa.

 

That's a beautiful car. Then and now!

 

By the way, does anyone have an extra tip-out windshield frame they would not mined parting with? The two I have are to far gone (rust) to use. I just had to ask?

 

i knew someone would know what i was talking about.

 

These are a few of my favorites that ive seen the last couple of years.

 

I built mine in the 90's and kept it until 2002 when I sold it to a friend. He still has it. It's "the one I wish I'd have kept".

 

I do hope father christmas brings me a louvered trunk lid this year,
Paul.

 

A few more in my collection, some are glass some not, just to show the diversity of the 33 Willys body............................

 

Pritty sad!

 

Don't know why, but this one just looks right.

 

Here's my favorite...not "75% fiberglass", huh? Wish I had more photos other than these out of the magazine.

 

Bob Rothenburgs Willys has always been one of my favorite cars
Its been together 30 years and has a timeless look to it.
