MAGIC MUFFLER Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I started this Willys Pickup in 1988. I was building ( starting ) several back in the day and when we moved, many went into boxes and stored for yrs. Many on the work bench now waiting for me to get back on them and finally try to do something. The decals are something I never had for this one though and I'm not sure how to do them. One day I can try and finish it for the shelf. With about a dozen on the bench, it's pick and choose which one I'm in the mood for! Bob Tietz ran this truck in 1977 and I fell in love with it ( I was about 17 yrs old then street/drag racing ). He was running 9.62s et and 138mph. Thought I would give it a go and this was as far as I got. I still have the magazine article when I bought it in '77. Real truck is a '40 but a '41 front end. Lots of dust on this one and soon it will go through a little cleaning..( I'll probably pull it apart, sand polish etc etc ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
