Stockish 41 Willys

[junkyardjeff]

This was built when I got it with no engine and suspension and using parts I had in stock rebuilt it as stock as I could.  41 Plymouth engine and the rear end is from a early 60s Galaxie and a unknown IFS most likely GM and bumpers and brackets from a Revell 37 Ford. Will add door handles if I find some.

Looks Super nice there Jeff.  Just don't see a lot of stock 41 Willy's.

Next one will be more accurate,this one was assembled with parts I had. Will do some research on a body that has more appropriate rear wheel openings and frame,looking like it will take a few kits to get this done.  I think this one is a Revell and the only one I have seen with a normal opening hood.

Of all my years on this forum and on Randy Ayers NASCAR forum, yours is the 1st stock version I have ever seen or know of.  Looks Fantastic!

Revell has two version of the 41  Willys Americana. One has the standard open hood with some of the chrome hood/ body trim ( early version?) and the other flipped front end.  

So glad to see a stock version & glad to see you did it.

I love stuff like this - what chassis did you end up using? 

Saw one a long time ago using a cut up Corvette chassis plate (prolly MPC) tapered to fit the Willys body.

Flat six is fun, and I don't care where ya' from.

Very nice!

Great looking paint finish and color. Very resourceful use of left-over spare parts. Like the engine and stance.

I used the chassis that came with it.
