Been plugging along. 727 w/ Gearvendors O.D. unit ready for the Willys. I'll run down to Indy on Saturay morning to pick it up from A&A. Rick Allison does amazing, bullet proof work!

latest on the metal work. firewall, floor boards, tunnel. Jim At Classics plus Inc. does some amazing work. I don't have the skills, tools or time to do this level. However; I do have a good job and an understanding wife.

I've been following on Facebook. The metal work is second to none.
Too bad you aren't bringing that trans up to MN this weekend. Huge Mopar show in Farmington this weekend. You could stop and we could have a beer. LOL

Been soooooo darn busy with life , havent been to the sight or posted much except a couple things yesterday. Heres an update on the willys. Got the engine from NRE and the boys got it bolted in so Jim could finish up the hood and scoop. Shaker style.

Any guess on what the final product will weigh?That should be hilarious with that kinda power!
We make the same area of power but my heap weighs 3700 lbs!

Man, I have no idea. It'll be full interior, no heater, no ac, no power seats, no radio. There's a lot of steel in the frame and the driver train will weigh a ton... probably between 35 and 3700??? About the same. Much shorter wheel base though.

Nice to see a real steel Willys.

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

Me thinks you will be lighter than that with an all aluminum deal.We lightened the block some,but every ounce counts!
