41 willys gasser update 12/19/17

Man you sure are working your butt off on these renovations you are doing Steve. I really like the color and the paint job on this one and I agree with you on the stance. Good BMF work. The wheels look good on this and I love those fat slicks. Looking forward to seeing the engine.

I always do my paint last, because if i paint it first, i see what it will look like, and sort of lose interest, and move on to the next one,
a bit like you i see.

This is one tough Willys mate, get back into it and get it on the shelf...

Think your onto something there Dale, Just pulled out all my stalled projects and going to attempt to finish them this year one by one apart from a few that need a lot of scratch building and detailing.

Hi been working on this one the past week or so but havent had the time to post any pics so here are a few updates of this one. Had to cut the floor pan from the tubs as I didnt want to use the pro street interior, didnt want the huge console and installed a gasser section from the tubs forward. Also used the original motor in my 64 dodge 330 gasser so have modified a 426 hemi and installed a set of heads and valve covers from a 392 hemi bonus is the 426 has a manual box behind it. Found a tunnel ram set up in the parts box but didnt like how the runners fitted to the base and they didnt really have a good shape to them so removed the runners and scratch built my own which now aligns up with the base. Found a couple of dominator carbs in the parts box and have added fuel lines and a couple of scratch built regulators. Using a set of pro stock headers that I found in the parts box but didnt fit because of the chassis so extended them using the extensions from one of the later model revell funny cars and have painted them up in flat white and shaved some lead pencil and smeared it around the exhuast opening to simulate use. Have also made up a parachute mount and cable release mount but still have to add the cable. Hoping to have this one finished by the end of the weekend. Cheers and thanks for looking Steve

Thanks Dennis the regulators are scratch built out of styrene and will post some shot next time I build another one which will be soon. Will post some shots of the exhaust tonight when I post some pics of the interior.

Very nice my friend

Cheers and thanks for looking Steve
