Projects saving another willys gasser coupe !!!!

heres my willys that I got that needed some t.l.c. im getting it ready for the Detroit autorama for the feb. 2016 show. its all steel and im finishing the metal work to get it back in shape, the car is really complete and all the front is suspension is original willys. I am even using the original gas tank. im not cutting the fire wall, I want to retain as much of the car as possible, even all the dash gauges are there along with the original steering column, I hope you like it !! the pictures of the car with the frt clip on are before I put the orginal frt. suspension on.

 

heres my other willys I have for sale but its coming out so cool., I might keep it and sell something else ! whats better thatn one willys, BUT TWO !!!!!

 

holy shit two .....you suck!!!!go get em..

 

heres some more pics of my glass gasser, 354 hemi roller motor, original willys chassis,trunk floor, fender wells, fire wall, door hinges.......

 

thanks ! ive looking to get one of these cars since I turned one down that was an ex gasser car that ran, for $5000 back in 1980 !!! it was all the money I had in the world back then. I bought the glass car first before I found the steel one

 

Looking good. Keep it up.

 

thankyou, its getting there !!!

 

Go to bed Bill! Oh, by the way, it's looking good. Gotta get by and see how you're coming along.

 

That's a solid looking 38 ! Nice to see another one getting ready to terrorize the streets !

 

Thumbs up on Both of the cars, but yes the Steel One is so much finer. Keep up the great work, Oh by the way if I had two Willys Coupe I would Keep them both.

 

Both cars look great and it's always nice to save a piece of drag racing history.

this is the way willys have to look

 

Two fantastic cars! I hate you. LOL.

 

that car is going to look great in grey primer ;-)

 

Nice to see you step up and get a steel one. What is the reason for all the pie cuts in that front fender? Bob

 

It may sound dumb at this point but you should switch engines and put the 354 in the steel car and use the sbc for the glass car, that way you'd have a real 60's style Willy's gasser.

 

Congrats, awesome gassers.

 

I agree with this statement... glass for "Go Fast" but keep the steel real.

 

Great looking hot rod......I like the steel one best. But who would not....

 

Great looking cars ( they are like toys)......I like the both ones.

 

Isnt the steel car In red primer the same car that the guy In Arizona was building from a sedan?

 

im seriously thinking about doing that !!! lol

 

heres some up date pictures

 

yes, everyone was scared off because of the body work, but they did an awesome job on it. they got the panels from rolands willys in Oregon, check his site out, that guy is amazing !! everything fits perfect, they even got a full aluminum deck lid from him too, im very excited about this car!!!!

 

its the back fender, it was so distorted and someone welded on it,so I split it to to get the shape back and im butt welding it back together. I want this car completely steel !! lol

 

I know, I feel like im building some oversize 1:25 scale models !

 

thankyou !!

 

yours looks awesome too !!!

 

looks like you have a pretty bad a$$ car there too !!!!!
