Good start to the project, Willys buggies are sexy

On a side note, I go to school in North Manchester and have a cousin that lives on Webster. Cool to see something to that caliber being built so close!

JuicyJuice4x4 · 01-12-2011, 04:22 PM

Pro E Wildfire 3D modeling, Solidworks will do the same thing, which is what I use at work.

Diablo169 · 01-12-2011, 05:23 PM

The center section looks great, I'm also liking the silver ORI's

Was a little tricky mounting those seats since they are flush bottom mount. But this way I can pull the Atlas out through one of the seat holes. And close in around the rear output for strength more with tube.

I thought they'd look pimp with a clear anodize, I'm very happy as well with the outcome.

ROXROES · 01-22-2011, 05:37 PM

Alright, I've dicked off the last two weekends playing with the sled. So had to get some chassis work done, hopefully get the front tubes run tomorrow.

It's 6'1" to the top, and I'll probably lower it 1" or so to a 19" belly.

shaggyk5 · 01-23-2011, 11:26 AM

Looking forward to the rest of this, as I am currently gathering parts for a nearly identical project...

ROXROES · 01-23-2011, 03:13 PM

Got the front laid out today. Hood needs a lil more straightening out, don't know why, its only 64 yrs old.

ROXROES · 01-25-2011, 04:42 AM

What are peoples thoughts on this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I like the intank Aeromotive A1000 pump with a baffling system. If I do the traditional setup I'll have:
$250-300 for a cell with a sending unit
$300 for the A1000 pump

Plus mounting the pump, plumbing it, probably building a intank pickup system etc.

geberhard · 01-25-2011, 09:15 AM

Argh no way to say it, but you have a nice Willy! I am hunting dwn a Willys for a rat project, yours got me more inspired

ROXROES · 01-27-2011, 06:25 PM

Thanks, I like my Willys too!

Think I'll move the rad up some, more room for the crossover steering and upper link mounts if I shift the wheelbase a bit.

YellowRenegade · 01-27-2011, 09:12 PM

nice title

that's quite the bunch of parts to start with.
