Hot Rods Tony's 38 Willys pickup....Build pic's

Good to hear about the front panels. JW

 

Good to see another kiwi kev build. Subscribed

 

Always enjoy your builds , still stealing some of your ideas
from the 55's for mine, clean , simple, to the point,
keep up the good work ! ! You guys need to make another
road trip to the H.A.M.B. or the Meltdown Drags !!

 

Made some more progress......

 

The front shock mounts I put on Tony's pick up have a lot of soul/history. Royalshifter gave them to me a few years ago, they were left over from the Texiera Willys gasser restoration.







I am done with my part and delivered the truck to Tony on Sunday. He took me for a ride in his Sedan with the 6.71 blown, stroked small block Ford and let me tell you that thing runs REAL GOOD! Really plants you in the seat and the blower whine at high rpm's is a truly beautiful sound, dumb ass me didn't think to take a video with my phone.

 

Glad to see another pickup goin together Kevin i seen the Willys sedan a few years ago in Springfield mo it was defiantly a bitchin ride even though it had a ford motor lol

 

Great work as always Kev!

 

Nice work, you make it all look to easy Kev.

 

Kevin always make it look so easy ..........sometimes I think I hate him? Should I hate him........

Another job well done Kevin.

 

Nice work, and I agree you make it look like a simple process. I noticed the small bump out at bottom of firewall for a bit extra pedal clearance, those small cabs need all the help they can get.

 

That sedan of Tony's is my old car. He has done a lot of upgrades though.I sure miss it.

 

Great job as usual Kevin. That truck is spectacular.
Question for you: What do you use for primer?

 

Kevin does great work, he speaks gasser style very well and damn quick too, I will be updating this thread as I make progress but it won't be no where as fast as Kev , I just hope I can do this little truck and Kevin's work justice. Yep that's trailer-Ed's old sedan who built a cool ass car I've just made it faster !

 

Rustoleum rusty metal primer in the spray can.

 

Hey Kev, Cool work on the truck and Tony's Sedan is very nice too. Kinda of funny my name is Tony and I have the 38 factory 2dr Willys, anyway to any and all Willys guys I am looking for a set of the long front shock mounts that are in the pic that Kev put up so if any one can help me PM in a conversation. Thank you and Kev your work is always fun to check out.

 

Great looking truck Tony and nice to see another build thread, I'm biased though
38 2Dr Sedan, simple enough to copy get someone (Kev) to make a set for you.

 

I love your build threads, Kev. Nice work.

 

Since Kevin brought the truck back I've drilled out the spot welds holding what was left of the 38 dash, and am fitting the 41 dash, I'm also needing a glove box door so if anyone has one for sale please let me know, hope these pics load

 

Also got my wheels and tires mounted and put on to see how it sits , on to doing the steering column and brake and clutch pedals

 

Hey hotrodtodd, was wondering if you could take some good clean pic's so one can see how you are mounting the column and pedals. Also wondering what you are using for a steering box and how it mounts and hooks up to the axle and steering column. Thanks, I would appreciate the help here maybe I can use a simmuliar set up.

 

Some good folks there, Kev and Tony. Great work Kev as usual, you have such a "get to it" approach and it's all done right. Appreciate you sharing.
Tony, this is gonna be great.

 

Nice work Kev!

 

Nice, love the visualizing technique prior to fender surgery

 

hey tony
glove box lid is on the way.

 

Love this build.

 

Kevin your work I so inspiring. Awesome job

 

Hey Tony, this is the other Tony, 38 2 Dr Sedan, was wondering, if you sold the truck or just not working on it anymore. I love the way you have it set up. I have some questions I'd like to discuss with you, If I PM you my phone number would that be cool.

 

Hey Tony , no it isn't sold , I've been working on it just haven't posted ay updates hope to soon , I'm going to the march meets this weekend and I'm sure I'll be fired up to get it going , sure go ahead and send your number

 

Need to get that pickup on the road. Looking forward to seeing it rip down the road. See you at March meets.

 

Man, Kevin does such great work!
