crossfire 2004 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Recently had yet another crazy build idea that has resulted in this Willys. I’ve no idea what class it would or could compete in, it was just built for fun. I figured that not every racer had access to a coupe body, so why not a decommissioned military jeep instead. Hogans Heroes body and rear half of chassis mated to the front half of a AMT ‘33 Willys frame and suspension. Rear axle is narrowed Matchbox ‘55 nomad as is the engine/trans, seat and part of the floor. There are parts pack slicks and parts box bits & bobs. It will never win any prizes but I really like it, hope you guys do too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossfire 2004 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Thanks guys, in hindsight perhaps this should be in the drag section - maybe admin would like to move it across if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatout Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hard not to like an old Jeep and the "Gasser" treatment makes it even cooler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Very interesting build. I recall seeing several Jeeps converted into Drag Cars thru the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No headlights, no second seat, and I think the wheelbase might be too short for a gasser. NHRA would no doubt put it into Altered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
