This rounds out my Willys collection. I have a few years before I figure out if I want to Street Rod it or put it back to original. 37,000 miles 6cyl 3 spd with overdrive and a radio. 52Wing by Rick Jones, on Flickr w8 by Rick Jones, on Flickr Aero2 by Rick Jones, on Flickr

Make it a sedate-looking sleeper. A 360 with a centrifugal blower would be cool.

I just can't do the Gasser thing to it. It will be a 50's style Mild Custom with wide whites, skirts, and lowering blocks in back. w2 by Rick Jones, on Flickr

Wow that is super cool, and looks pretty solid? Well once the paint is sanded off I am sure every panel will need some metal put back in. I have fixed worse but, it will be a major project. Didn't know you guys were this interested. I will take some more shots of it when I get it home.

Oh yeah, always interested in living vicariously through other people's projects, the more unique the better!

Already hot rodding the bitch in my mind. Modify the rear quarters to accept late 40's Caddy tail lights. Move the big "W" over and add " T F " to it front and rear...

Stupid video doesn't work but Dr.Drunk did get the Willys started last week end. Figgured with him growing up around Detroit, he would have no problem hot wiring it to get it started. It took him like 15 seconds.. Sounds like it has a little bit of a rod knock but who knows. I suppose it could be a lifter making noise. The oil looks really clean so I dumped a can of Rislone in it and I am sure now it will heal itself. I actually backed it out of the shop and drove it forward 20 feet or so. Now on for a carb rebuild (I am sure that this will fix the rod knock)and complete brakes rebuild.
