Build A 1932 Willys
« on: January 28, 2014, 09:22:24 PM »
I know this is a Chevy site. But a good friend is building a 32 Willys with a nailhead. The Willys like the Chevy has a lot of wood.
He found this in a barn.Been there for 20 yrs. It was a hot rod with a V-6. But the bad wood was never replaced. Just patched
it was some thing very unsafe. I would record his build if no one has a problem. If you do thats O.K. too. Let me know how you feel about it.

Sounds good to me! The first engine I ever rebuilt (nailhead).  We are here to learn...

Id like to see it too. My good friend owns two 38 Willys sedans. One is rotting into the ground in his backyard, and the other is being built as a Gasser with blown 283 power.

What the heck? We are Chevy guys and we know how to be navigate among the the hot rod ruling class. Throw in a Willys, a Pontiac, a Buick, and a Dodge or two and we'll really confuse them.  ;D
