Cool! It seems sectioning is needed. Only 2 months? That's a challenge.
Thanks ismaelg
Yeah its a challenge. Always wantet to build one though. Probably going to add instead of section. Just so the floor or interior dont have tl be modified.

Ooh that looks tricky, but I’m sure it is going to turn out fine.
I have never seen that car before, thank you for that
Mitchy, thats what make a challenge. Other than the corvette corvair concept, it one of the coolest looking ones

Back on the bench with a 1954 corvette nomad.
Building for a club build-off deadline is two months this is where im at so far everything is fitting well next is to lengthen the chassis to get the right wheelbase now that the body can be used to measure.

Nice to see a Pontiac built your detail and research make a great replica. Having a 1:1 57 Pontiac in my garage, I'm really happy to see another

Getting this project back on the bench. Haven't had much building time lately but now that things have slowed down I finished up alot of bodywork and got everything primered. Still need to change the grill opening but at least got the rear fenders done.
Happy with the progress so far sill have a ways to go though thanks for looking....

So its been a long time since my last update. Been working on this alot recently although there isnt much to show for it but here we go. Been working with brass and aluminum! A first for both and soldering brass also.
For my firt time working with brass im really happy with the rear end so far. The spool gear assembly needs to be redone ill use this one to measure and make one correctly. The ring and pinion set is the second attempt. Once the spool assembly is right ill cut the gears.
Also went with wheels from micro nitro well worth the money
Any questions comments or opinions welcome

Yes that is where I sorced the engine is from a jeep. The jeep and willys the shared the same engine even in the 33 willys. Ive got lots to do on the rear fenders but thats all part of a new challengeYep, these were the economy compacts of their day. I don't know a whole heck of a lot about them, but I would guess that's the same four that powered the WWII Jeeps.
Neat project. I guess you're going have to fill in the rear fender radius a bit.
Good luck with it.
PB.
Thanks

Jason, also look in the 1:! reference pictures forum for more pics of a stock '41 Willys. I'd post the link but I'm having problems learning to use Windows 8!!!!
I posted them in April, search the forum for Willys.
The car in question is located about a half mile from me.
Frank,
I did see that thread those were some of the pictures ive saved thank you

Good idea. It'll be nice to see a stock one. Were they originally a 4 cylinder engined car? I would have guessed a 6.
Wayne, I thought they were a 6 also mabie an option? So few are stock ive found two for referance and there both a flat 4. And a stock version would look nice next to the gasser and pro street versions
Thanks,
Jason

Building this one as a factory stock willys coupe. Ill be using the l134 flathead 4 cylinder. The block will need some detail work and ive almost got the frame and axles done. it should be an interesting conversion from race car to factory stock but ive been wanting to build a stock coupe for a long time.
Thanks for looking
