Projects Quain Stott Willys build

Most awesome, sir! Inspirational indeed!

 

Geat Work, love the utube vid!

 

You make it look easy, nice work on all of it. Hopefully i can learn a little here !

 

Here's a link to the Gasser race that we had a few weeks ago It shows us Honoring Gene Cromer as grand marshal. By the way the white chevelle in the video was not in our group.

WOW ... you guys have it down pat, the burnouts over the line, the multible dryhop starts, no 2-steps, 4-speeds.... I see a road trip in my future to drive over and watch. Top shelf job to all, keep it growing and going! Glenn

 

Come on down Quain for a great day at the drags Sept 29th Reynolds, GA

Great video! You guys put on a great show. I like how you're sticking to your guns on the period correct look, and I think the spectators will appreciate it. You can see a "mish-mash" of old cars just about anywhere, but a group of nicely matched, period correct gassers is fun to watch. I hope your gasser group really takes off.

 

the short wheels up dry hops are awesome. Nice job Mr. Stott.

 

I was planning to be there but I have a race in Ohio with my pro mod car that I can't miss.

 

Wow that's a bummer, good luck in Ohio though There's always next year.

Thats some mighty fine shifting their pal. To bad about not being able to make it to GA on the 29th. I would look foward to seeing the willys run.

 

I didn't know if racers in the 60s was using the Pittsburgh joint like we did in the late 70s or not to join there wheel wells together and I couldn't find any pix's of anybody's to find out so I just welded mine together.

 

Another shot with them both ruffed in

 

Another angle, in this shot you can see the lip I had to make to bolt the wheel well's and rear fender too. The ratty glass work you can see behind the wheel well will be trimmed up later.

 

The drive shaft cover and center panels this was a lot of work I was not in the mood to take pix's while I was doing it for some reason but here's one with it ruffed in. The drive shaft cover will also be removable.

 

The panel to separate the driver from the trunk was tuff to make but not near as bad as the lip that you can see that I had to make with fiberglass to bolt it too around the top and down the sides. It would have been a lot easier to do an a metal body I could have just welded it.

 

Once again ..... excellant craftsmanship

 

Thanks Glenn, as I have been posting these pix's I have been remembering how much work went into this thing.

 

Thanks, Quain, for taking the time to post your build pics. You've given me a lot of good ideas for my budget 39 Olds coupe project.

 

Sweet build! Basic and clean.

 

Hey we welded ours too, for the same reason. Tried to make the trunk look like someone in the mid-late sixties with some talent did it (except for the fuel cell of course). Hey, try the T-Handle on your shifter backwards, its way more comfortable, especially the 3rd gear shift (and 5th for me)

 

I try that with the t handle it is uncomfortable. I also didn't bead roll my alum because I didn't know if I should or not but I wish now I would have.

 

The car looks good.

 

Great build thread, lots of good ideas! Any chance of a close up pic of the slider mounts on the rear end?

 

try it like this? works for me!pulling the lever to down shift or back to first is lil difficult but going through the gears is good!

 

Way cool. I think I need to build a race car.....

 

Yea I get you a pix when I get home I've been in Memphis Tenn all week at the ADRL pro mod race I should be home tonight. I'll take a pix Monday and post it.

 

You know it makes sense !!!

Sorry I've been slack on posting pix's for the last few days but I have been running wide open. Here's another angle of the rear alumn. [/IMG]

 

A shot from the trunk area keep in mind this is not finished yet.
