Progress: '41 Willys

[ol' dude]

Here are a few pics of my next project!! Do not know about the scoop, yes/no!!!!!! I do have a color scheme in mind and no I do not know about interior or not, nor if it will have a motor!! Maybe a slammer!!!!!!!!

Fill the hole in the hood smooth, chop the roof a scale 3 inches, lay the windshield back just a skosh.

Willys gassers are as common as dirt. The body is clean and lends itself very well to modern custom tricks vs. the ubiquitous gasser tricks. The rims say "modern custom" to me more than street machine or gasser.

Okay, you asked!

No scoop, chop the top. Those T's are perfect on that car.

Gonna be sweet

I agree with Bob as well. No big ass scoop, chop, maybe section, slam. And oh, shiney paint. I cant wait to see this project.

Oh man....a Willys. I have the multi-build kit that I've been sitting on for a while.

I like my Willys dumped, maybe chop-top but definitely an exposed blower.

And another show stopper on the assembly line, right?

I would go with the scoop! It follows the lines of the body perfectly! I mean who says that modern custom can´t have a scoop like that?

And it would ad a nice touch if you rouded the edges of the grille hole to the same form as the scoop front.. (I don´t know if that made any sence, my english is little rusty)

Decided to leave the scoop ON!!! Here are 2 pics, the first one is the standard scoop!! The second is the scoop filed down. The scoop filed down goes with the side lines of the hood!!

Nice decision, I always felt that that body style needed something on the bonnet to give it a new line. I do like thsi scoopless Willys though:

Thanks for the link!! The willys looks badass!!

[mike@af]

If you so insist upon the scoop, why not bury it the hood. So the bottom of the inlet is flush with the hood. Give it a more clean look in my opinion.

I like it! Look into Perry's resin chasis for the Willi, otherwise you will have a terribly hard time lowering it to achieve the stance you want... if you do decide to "do it yourself" please do a step by step tutorial, as I had been planning on doing the same, but was terrified of the chasis work.

I agree with mike on burying the scoop, it'd look sick!

Cool progress, need to get going on mine after I get my a/b fixed....

Good idea to leave the scoop on.
Why not tub the rear end with huge drag slicks, dump it to the ground as low as it will go, shave all the handles,trim etc.
Lower the roof line and de-chrome it by painting everything body colour
Finish off with some deep candy apple red paint

[ol' dude]

With all these great ideas, I do not know what to do now!!! I was thinking curbside, slammer w/out chassis??????? I am so confused!!!!!! HMMM, I'll just go buy a couple of more kits and build one of each!!

Build what you like Dennis, The scoop looks great lowered the way you show it in the second pic. I think you're off to a great start.
