Reeves Racing Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Super sharp building there. Very crisp and clean.
1930fordpickup Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Good idea with working on this at work. I like what you are doing with it.
Davewilly Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 Thank you guys..and thanks for following along!
Davewilly Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Well While I am trying to figure out a fuel pump to get fuel from the tank to the injector.... I de chromed the water pump..added a strip of plastic up front so the tank would fit right and the radiator be straight. So now I am working on getting the hood to cab fit to be a better looking thing than it is....I have a bit more sanding to do but its getting close. Thanks for looking! I got it to maych up pretty good a few years ago when I did the coupe...It was built from a original release kit a friend gave me...it had some parts missing but found what I needed in my parts boxes.

magicmustang Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I feel your pain on matching the hood/fender to the flairings. I finally just scribed them off the doors, glued them to the fenders, puttied and sanded . Then it was a good fit, changed the look of the front assembly.
Davewilly Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 small update on the Willys. Getting the hood alignment fix. and working on the Mag and the plug wires. Thanks for looking and thanks for all the comments!
